and dear god, do you know how ******* frustrating it is? cat's got my tongue and she's never giving it back, but maybe she'll be able to speak the words that are stuck on the tip of it the "no"s and the "come back"s and the "stay here"s the wind doesn't have a problem speaking her mind because she's always been round and she always will be and some loud words won't end her but i i i am not the wind i am not so fearless and casual and trusting i am in pain, i am stuck in a barbed wire cage of writers' block and separation anxiety when you leave a piece of my sanity falls away like cigarette ash and i watch it build a mountain at my feet we've gotten to the point where i can't even tell how much i love you, it's drowning my chest and turning everything into a sea of heartache and and and we know each other so well, it's a shame i see you never we have our toes dipping into the same ocean but we live on different shores maybe in the grand scheme of things this deafening longing doesn't mean anything but god this shitstorm of love and desperation and distance and lust means everything to me
