your sudden bruised
anguish takes less than a second to
register in my blank eyes.

really? does this feel
like what this feels like?

oh suede lilac hearts collide, reconnect and tear themselves apart.

i know i know
yes i know that
you're a warm beast trying your best to succeed.

well sweet so am i, and we do it so beautifully.

so let us let
our hearts tears themselves apart so we can start sowing them together again.

this is love isn't it, slowly
melting, and then slowly
coming up for air after
too many kisses. oh
sweet. this is us.

i'll kiss all your bruises pink
and you can shh my pretty lil head.

how i long to hold you!



you were so cute and
i was soooo drunk and
we danced my in friends
kitchen.

neither of us remember
what happened, but when
we woke up we were spooning
and the sun was up
and the room was filled
with bright light, and the sheets
were white, and the duvet was white,
and your arm around me wasn't really
white, it was ever so softly brown.

we were naked, and the skin
to skin made me feel like water,
like we were water flowing
over and under and through
each other. i love the feeling
of your skin still. you still make
me feel like the purest form of me
is poured out, all for you to see and have.

i was so freshly new, so freshly cut away
from my last lover, that i was in limbo.
you gave me clarity. i met you, and life
started to solidify again. gone was the
vapourish ways of before, now it
was clear to me. you were there in front of me.

you took the scars he had caused, and inverted
them. no longer scars, but marks that show what
i have become. all for you. you were cute, your
words fill me with joy. i am not the easiest to love
but i do love you, with such light and wonder.

i'm so glad

you were so cute and
i was soooo drunk and
we danced my in friends
kitchen.
i drink beer
before twelve
and think of you.

you're so silly and
my thoughts migrate
to you like birds
south for winter's lips.

i think i want to go,
but i will stay.
to wait for the
rest of time
by you, to
relax into a
bed full of clocks
and wait out
the time until

we meet our maker.

there are songs
that tell me you
don't love me.

but i know the
past is debatable
and changeable
and unreal.

i know you love
me because i
don't think you
could ever not.

because you're
bound and so
am i

beers came in mail
happy maya
hope yo day is sooooo good!





















i would change my stripes
i wouldn't change my stripes.

i have a crushing feeling
reaching inside my spine.

i don't know if either of
you would be able to read my 
eyes. (reflections of each other.)

i'm so frustrated. 
this is my excuse.

i'm not a traitor, or
a liar, and i don't know
if i could face telling you
 - both of you, mirror boys.

to be honest, i think i just
miss the old you, and the new
you is like looking through
a pond into your eyes, he is 
a shadow of you.

but i am still frustrated.

he talks to me, and i am too
frightened to leave, but too
nervous to stay, so i escape.

he makes me feel like i'm
before a judge.

(don't hang me when you read this)

i will try though, later
when drunk. maybe then
i will be able to make sense
of my words. where as right
now, i miss you, and can not
talk to you. 

i've been scared straight.

baby come home to relieve
me of this crush holding me
in headlights.
