You:
Perfect
Smiles
Love
Joy
Perfect
Everything that is perfect in the world

Me:
Hate
Stupid
Dumb
Annoying
Toxic
A hassle
Everything that is wrong in the world

Me with you:
Happy
Trying
Loving
Better
Still toxic

You with me:
Sad
Depressed
Angry
Hateful
Mad
Still perfect

You without me:
Healed
Happy
Good
Smiling
More Perfect.

Me without you

Maybe it's just me
but I often stare at the word "love"
hoping one day
in this head of mine
there would be an image
of someone
something weird I do, I guess?

Velociraptor means "swift seizer"
And you have seized my heart
I have no idea when I am getting it back
If you even plan on returning it at all

You don't play fair
And if it came down to a fight you'd have me pinned in seconds
You leave me rather quite helpless
Cant run, cant hide, its like you read my mind

But despite it all I'm glad
Because for someone who has always been alone
It's nice to be part of a pack
No seriously please send help

Well I'm like a weird book,

With pages unnumberd
And stories not told.
With a cover that's bended and not carefully folded.
Sent this to a friend a while ago..

He crawled from his van
Hair slicked back like the wind had grabbed it and never let go
"What's up man?"
His voice was shrill, and scratchy
Like a villainous rat from an animated movie
The sound of it honestly sent me into a daze
Trying to comprehend his existence
He'd carved himself a niche
Cleaning the carpets at this lackluster apartment community
I listened anxiously as he spoke to the other maintenance guy beside me
Although my time at this property was short,
I learned of Candido's way.

من عادتي أن أمشي بطيئًا جدًّا في الحب.
يستيقظ قلبي عندما يرقصُ قلب غيري، و يرقصُ قلبي عندما يبدأُ قلبه بالاحتراق، و يحترق قلبي بعدما يكون قلبه قد أنار العتمة كلها بمفرده.
أمشي بطيئًا بالحب، ولا أعرفُ مشيًا غيره، و لذلك كان على من يُمسك بيدي أن يمشي بسرعة عشرين كيلومتر في الساعة رغم أنّ قلبه يركب طائرة نفّاثة.
طعمُ الطيران يُصبحُ باهتًا عندما تكونُ خائفًا.
و هكذا، أصلُ مُتأخرة لكلّ مرحلة، بعد جُهدٍ لا يراه من كان أمامي يُدحرجُ قلبه ككرة القدم بينما أجرُّ خاصتي خلفي جرًّا.
أصلُ بعد أيّام و أسابيع، بعد أن يكونوا قد أكلوا مشاعرهم ليتسلّوا بها خلال الانتظار.
أصلُ إليهم فارغين إلّا من أُغنية ميّتة و وردة حمراء ذابلة، و الكثير من الضجر.
يضحكُ قلبي، يهمسُ لي أن في حالاتٍ كهذه، ألّا تصلَ أبدًا خيرٌ من أن تصل مُتأخرًا.
ثمّ يجرّني خلفه
و أعود.

It is my habit to walk ever so slow in love.  
My heart awakens when another's begins to dance,  
And it dances only when their heart starts to burn.  
Yet mine burns only after theirs has lit up all the darkness alone.  

I walk slowly in love, and I know no other way.  
So the one who holds my hand must race ahead—  
Twenty kilometers an hour—  
While his heart rides a jet through the skies.  
But the taste of flight turns dull  
When fear clutches at your chest.  

And so, I reach each stage too late,  
After struggles unseen by those ahead,  
Who roll their hearts like a ball on the field  
While I drag mine behind me, step by step.  
I arrive after days and weeks,  
When they have long since devoured their emotions  
To pass the time as they wait.  

I find them empty,  
Save for a dead song, a withered red rose,  
And a weary, lingering boredom.  
My heart laughs, whispers to me,  
"In such moments, never arriving  
Is better than arriving too late."  
Then it pulls me back—  
And I return.

When all the babies cry
And the pelicans sing
What will they bring
To the table, oh my
Right before my eyes
They'll crown me king
Dancing around a swing
Do I get my prize?

I know the grass is green
And that blades are sharp
My history is clean,
Not a sin to be seen
But what's a work of art
Is blood on the screen
I know this doesn't make sense.

Whats so cool about ***
Why do people want it so bad
Is it because we talk about it so much
Why does it drive people mad
It has the power to make a good person perverse
It can make a man ****
But all for what
For a duty to fulfill
To repopulate
Is it simply what we are made to do
Or is it something totally exempt from all dimensions of knowledge
It does not make sense if im being true
I dont understand the need for *** the unending desire and craving i have for it and i truthfully dont believe many people do.
