I don't know what we are
But I really miss what we were.
We are not scared of death
We are scared of finality
The possibility that we can come to an end
The line of our lives is not
Perpetually drawn
That the world can exist
When we do not
Because at the end of the day
We are all narcissists
We constantly flip the switch
                                  footsteps approaching *
“Hurry”
                                                 “Shhh”

They can’t know we live in the dark
Just found out he’s proposing on Sunday

What a surprise

Does he really see the rest of his life with me?

Do I see it?

I don’t know what to feel

But I know this is life

You make my family happy

Your kind to me

Do anything to make sure I’m happy

But am I really happy?

Anyway this is life

And once again I’m going with the flow.
I prayed for her.
Please God, if this is the last thing I ever ask of you, give her the strength and hope to surge through.
Please do.
I wish I could take it instead of her.
I wish she didn't have to suffer alone.
But isn't it the things we mind that help us appreciate the things we love?
Still. I hate it when she hurts.
Please never give up, no matter how hard it gets. Keep treading even if you're six feet under because you can make it to the surface and then to shore.
There is no safer place I know
than tucked in sheets
with my legs intertwined with yours
the feel of your bare skin on mine
and my hand on your heart
I write about you because I need you to exist in my world somewhere, to remind myself that you were real. That we were real.
