Four years
Six months
Six days.

Time passes far too quickly for my liking.
The memories I want to cling to,
The memories I want to hold on to forever
Seem to fade.

Why?
Why can nothing stay as perfect as a picture
Hanging in a frame
Forever memorialized?

Fifteen years.
Six months
Eleven days.

Crying has always given me headaches,
I never liked it,
I never let myself do it
Not even then.

Why?
Why couldn’t I let myself break down
In front of Family
Who did the same?

Fifty-Nine years
Five months
Thirteen days.

That’s not nearly enough time for anyone
To live their life to it’s fullest
To tackle every thing you can
So why did it stop there?

Why?
Why couldn’t the fight go on ?
There was
So much more to do

Sixty-Three years
Eleven months
Eleven days.
Had room for two in me tonight, apparently.

I wish my memories didn't grow so foggy
It's strange to realize you can't remember how someone so important to everything you've done can just... fade.
It's frightening to wake up one day and realize you can't remember their voice

My pills are supposed to make me happy,
but I'm quite done pretending

(I'm a terrible actress, anyway).

I know I'm no saint
and even though
I've told you this
a million times

I'm still sad
that you're starting
to see it too.

To carve your name into my skin
with metallic black ink
would be an ideal curse, because
I think you might follow the loops,
the curves,
every ridge and every twist
with precious fingers
designed to chill me to the bone
(and simultaneously warm my soul).
My heart is volcanic
(but only for you),
in the way that it remains perpetually chilled,
dead,
uninteresting,
until sparked by the tremor of your presence,
after which it never stops overflowing with heat
and bringing unique destruction to everyone nearby.

Good thing you like chaos.
I'm not sure if this is directed towards anyone in particular- I'm just in a good mood and felt like writing, I guess.

She makes me laugh in the way nobody else can.
She makes me smile in a world full of familiar frowns and furrowed brows.
She makes me roll my eyes in a way that seems too playful to be genuine.
I think she loves me,
and maybe that isn't so bad.

She makes me feel at home when I have nowhere to go.
She keeps me warm when even my fortress of blankets stands no chance against the cold.
She makes me sigh in such a way that even I can't tell what emotion I'm feeling.
I know she loves me,
and maybe that isn't so bad.
To the girls cheering me up right now, when we all should be sleeping.
To my puppy, and to my ******.
I love you guys.

God* knows I'm a (ship)wreck.

But nonbelievers do not sink.
