Still
my heart stops
breath abates
(why aren't you here)
Still
it was my fault
yours too
(wasn't it)
Still
i am weary
worn, cold, ill
(hold me once more)
Still
i want you with me
here, in my arms
(kiss my face again, tell me i'm pretty)
Still
you want to be with me
here, in my arms
(i'll hold you closer this time, i promise)
Still
we can't
we won't
(please don't be nice to me)
Still
i want you
i need you
(i love you)
Still
you can go on
i can go on
(i need you, but i think i can)
Still
my heart stops
breath abates
(i can't breathe without you)
Drawn a star on my page.
Memories flood me sometimes.
Reminding me...
well, so does that chair,
his belt,
her braids,
maybe, I never really forgot.
----------
If you were to walk in right now,
(Which I won't)
What could I honestly say?
(Hi, how are you? Good, I am fine.)
It's good we're so far apart now.
(Why's that, Mel?)
It's terrible to think I used to hate this distance.
(Indeed)

writing lyrics in my notebook

drifting back to it

remembering the good days

disgregarding the bad

feeling the ache of it all

all-consuming rememberance

writing lyrics in my notebook.

You're death.
You're waking up next to a body bag
with skeletal fingers, wrapped around my wrist.
You're my coffin,
and the poison in my wine
You're my dark and deadly drug
and the visions of razor blades, dancing in my head.
You're my sweet solace in hell
after sleeping six feet under.
You're the pleasure of watching my own soul rot
while I lay down with maggots.
You're the tickle of their noose
and the sensual glide of my knife.
You're the one, bound to kill me
over and over, and over again.
Some nights, I'd like to embrace my own demise
and curl up with death.
Zero times I've come and gone.
Round and round our fair child goes.
The flow and ebb of tides that bind.
binds that tie?
Tied down to the vicious cycle.
perpetuity.
Perpetual lack of feeling.
Perpetual condition of existance.
Perpetual condition of faith.
faith's a funny thing.
Gets you through, long enough to break you down.
previously broken.
"You break it, you buy it."
Oh, God. If only that were true.
Rain thrumming in my head
Head games played with the pretty girl.
Girl's turning grey.
Grey dawn arises, falls again.
Again we all face another day.
Day's over. What now?
Now, my friends, we do it all again.
Again we all face another day.
Day's over. What now?
Now, my friends, we do it all again.
Again we all face another day.
Day's over. What now?
Now, my friends, we do it all again.
Again we all face another day.
Day's over. What now?
Now, my friends, we do it all again.
Again we all face another day.
But stop.
Stop because I said so.
So, stop because you have the right,
Right, think about it.
It doesn't have to be this
Watching from mind's eye:
Long hair in front her face
lank by the end of the day.
A tired look on her,
but intelligence still in her eyes.
Pouring her attention into a book,
scribbling madly in her "notes".
Unraveling the mysteries in the author's head,
long legs folded underneath her body.
Slim,
but never slim enough... for them at least.
Playing with her hair a little,
grinning at the funny bits.
She fantasizes about the her current infatuation,
watching her, and becoming infatuated himself.
It's a well-worn mindfuck,
and sometimes it makes her sick.
The same old game,
of "I like him."
She looks up and around,
and can
Hail she who's full of love,
her thoughts are with thee,
and blessed is she amonst those
and blessed are the thoughts she dares speak,
sweetness.
Holy Seraphim, prays for they who deserve it,
then, and at the hour of her death.
Hail she who now fails,
her cunning outshone,
blessed be, for her smile is the light gone,
and blessed are, for her world is unseen, still
undeniable.
Holy Seraphim, she prays not at all anymore,
now, and until the hour of her death.
You'll learn it like their mighty catechism,
before you ever know it like the back of your hand
and you'll study it like a famous painting
but it may never take life in your weak eyes.
The things they teach in school,
never will ever touch you where this does.
If a word is a whisper,
then an action is screamed at you.
A promise is hollow,
and trust is a precious gem
(fucking poetic now, aren't we?)
and both can be broken, snapped in half, crushed.
Impale yourself in the seas of "fucked"
clench your fists and prepare to bleed.
What if this all = nothing, and that goddamned tripping caterpillar was right?
So what IS greater th
Now, I'm not so bold as to think that many people are taking notice of what I still do on here. My last journal entry and submission were over two years ago, and my last period of big activity was in 2006. Suffice to say, I've moved on from Deviantart. But, in case anyone stumbles upon my profile and wonders what happened here, I thought I'd post this to be clear. I no longer belong to DA in my mind, and I don't feel enough of a connection to keep attempting to belong. I've rescued all the submissions for posterity's sake, and some of them might appear on flickr. I think that after leaving this journal up for a few months, I'll probably come
So, although I'm not the owner of any sort of fancy camera, I can usually make up the difference with reasonably cool composition and photoshop.
With that in mind, one of my good friends has just become engaged to her girlfriend, and it's starting to look like I'll be doing something of an engagement set for them. They'll be completely self-styled (mostly because me trying to style them would be like a sad imitation of their personal styles) and I'll be taking them to locations where I've been photographed around town, a lot of bricks and graffiti, but also probably outdoorsy elements like grass and water.
I've looked at some engagement set
So my last entry was about a terrible ex, and Christmas. Well, that was a year ago now that he dumped me, and we're approaching Christmas again.
I'm once again filled with holiday cheer, except that it's been stretching further and further through the rest of the year.
For anyone who might swing by here occasionally, and none of my other places on the internet, let's just have a recap:
-Met a few other morons
-Met the worst man I've ever dated in my life
-Lost my dad
-Met one of the nicest men I've ever dated in my life
-Kept up static, good relationships with friends
I haven't had much inspiration in the area of art. I plan on maybe
