My Sweet Fracture – Saves The Day

‘I choose my company by the beating of their hearts, not the swelling of their heads.’

Birra Moretti La Rossa tells me that I was used. I was a catalyst and literally nothing more. I can’t wait for you to pretend like I wasn’t. God, it feels so horrible to be used in a way that I saw coming from the beginning. But then again, wasn’t it some other version of Birra Moretti La Rossa that put me in the situation I was when we first kissed? It’s odd how things come full circle like that.

In my best moments I feel alive and, in my worst? In my worst I feel like I do right now.

This is my life lately and I wouldn’t normally admit it but I am feeling shamefully honest right now. Shamefully honest. I am ashamed of the entire last month of my life. I try to block it out, but like the worst parts of a horror movie, January haunts my dreams.

As I type these words I hear another tossing and turning. Perhaps she is dreaming as well. I hope nothing but better dreams for her than I have had in the past month. Shit, it’s been a bad one. I have very high hopes for February. After all, when you have very little going for you, you can only go up.

‘Besides, I’d rather forget the days we spent than try to stay afloat in shallow waters.’

The adult decisions didn’t work out so well.  I’ve regressed and am more of a 14-year-old than I was when I actually was 14.  Sickening.  I need to remove myself in order to fully replace myself.  I’m going away for a while and hopefully that means I will be here more.  This makes no sense but I think I finally get it.  Thanks

I’m throwing adult decisions into the mix these days.  I’m trying here, so cut me some slack.



Reflections – Atmosphere

I hate the fake bullshit that

We have to play along with

Holding back

Biting our tongues

Playing a certain role

Just

To please

Others.

I hate the fake bullshit that

We have to play along with

When I’d rather play along with

Your hair

And hands

And lips

And by that

I mean all four.

I hate the fake bullshit that

We have to play along

With a long

Gaze or glance or

Look or stare or

Examination

I

Can turn a spark

Into an annihilating blaze.

Destruction of anything you once enjoyed.

 

 

I’d like to straddle your heart. 

Just skin and adductors and myocardial tissue

I’d pump your heart with my legs

Getting a work-out from your resting heart rate.

This is infecting my everything.



Just Say Cunt – Queers

Considering the recent events, I could be upset.  I could be upset, but I’d rather not waste my time.  I think I will take situations and put a new spin on them.  Recent events have given me hope that despite what so many people say, it is possible for bad people to change.  Said events have given me hope for anything.  I am surprised by very little after these past few weeks.  Perhaps stealing my innocence, 2008 has already changed me in a way that gives me so much hope.  If someone who nobody thought was capable of feeling human emotions can claim to be ‘in love’, I have genuine faith that anybody can overcome any emotional barrier.   If someone who is known for their harsh and brutally honest demeanor can look me right in the eyes and lie to me in order to spare my feelings, I believe that we all can look out for one another.  If someone who is known for being manipulative can say that they love me without questionable motives, I hold out hope that we all can put our negative emotions to better use.  I have faith, believe, and hold out hope for better things.

Alright now, stop throwing drama my way, I have a career to study for.



Problem of Pain – William Fitzsimmons

I’ll watch the planes come in overhead

From my bedroom window

While I wait

For you.

All I ever do is wait

For “you”.

This is life.

It hasn’t been as good as they said it was going to be.

I’m trying to find myself somewhere in between

This sticky margarita glass

And your sultry soul

These are my late night thoughts.

Play your artificial apparatus

I’ll sit and watch

And think

And feel

And I’m lost

And I’m shocked

Every time I receive

My own words

As if I wasn’t expecting

Anything

Or

Anyone

Else to consider me valid.

Invisible.

It’s painful to read it

And to think of how low

Self opinions can sometimes be.

I guess it’s just dark

Like the marks

You will leave

On my neck

After they leave.

Or like those not on my neck

From my fingers

When I’m not feeling all that well.

Thanks for the company but

I’ve never felt more alone.



Imitosis – Andrew Bird

I found myself in a place where people are accepted because of their love, not in spite of it, which seems pretty hard to come by these days.  We are told to be accepting of others despite their differences, but it appears to be rather difficult to find someone who actually is able to do that.  Where I was, people accepted you, not despite of your differences, but because of them.  Everybody was so happy.  Smiles were hard to avoid.  Could you imagine that?  It was incredible, and exactly what I need to remember at a time like this.  At a time when my own family is not accepting me because of who I love, I am glad to know that I can escape to this reality. 

Anything but hear the voice that says we’re all basically alone.
