it's me they've been coming to see

to forget about life for a while.

after the storm.

why?

I can't understand why some people have to go through so much pain,
nor can I understand how easily everyone else allows themselves to forget it.

no one else can speak the words on your lips.

millpond.

The water was dark
And it went forever down,
But you couldn't tell;
The surface was cold and inpenetratable,
Still, as if waiting for time to begin.
Reflecting the surroundings in a way
That made the most mundane seem ethereal,
An entire world, paperthin; a masterpiece
Painted on a napkin.

Everything you heard,
Everything you saw,
Everything you smelled,
Everything you touched,
Tasted,
Was of the world above.
But was it so perfect, underneath?


Or perhaps what lurked below,
What lingered in the depths,
Waiting to leap out and strike
At the slightest disturbance,
Was something horrid.
Something tainted.
Something monstrous.
Something lost.
Something miserable.
Something vile.
Something broken.
Something
Ugly.

let it always be known that i was who i am.

It's funny how the first chords you come to
Are the minor notes that serenade you
And it's hard to accept yourself as someone you don't desire
As someone you don't want to be.

We ran away, away, away to the river, but the river ran to the sea.

Maybe I was just too impatient
I promise I will learn from my mistakes.

back when a day meant forever.

that day in your bedroom, when you began to speak
you stopped yourself and kissed me
and i grabbed your arm and said
i know, i know.
i feel the same as you.

and i know, i know, it's changed since then.
and in every way, i've changed since then.
such a long time ago,
when i drove you away.

you corruptible little thing.

naivety is cute up to a point. but once you've reached 17, it's just not acceptable anymore. please please please, reality set in. or else you'll be ignorant for the rest of your life.

it doesn't make any sense.

talking to someone doesn't define an attraction of that kind. not everyone is attracted to everyone they talk to. especially someone they don't even know. c'est ridicule!

purgatory.

Well I was the one who showed you the sky


But you brought it down, down to my thighs


Sadly believed every word I didn't mean


About loving darkness.





And there it is now, he enters the room


It guts like a fish to see how he's grown


Saw me go out onto the town to mess around





Well you were the one who thought it was funny


That half of the world had never seen money


Shimmy-shuffle 'round, break it all down


It never comes to an end as long as you can help yourself





So, let me go out into the evil world that you know

Oh, let me go, let me go, let me go out into the sinful world that you know


That you really love

she loved only two things:

one was her long dark hair

and the other was how easily she could cut it off.

nobody ever had a dream around here

and i don't really mind that it's starting to get to me.

i can't live forever, i can't always be

one day i'll be sand on a beach by the sea.

i thought we were different.

but apparently not.

most people don't see it

but there's a hole in the flyscreen of one of the windows in the front living room, from a day years ago when someone must have tried and failed to break in. it's just a small, fist-sized and inconspicuous little tear that everyone passes by on their way around the house, but it's there all the same.

and theres a tear in the flyscreen of my bedroom window too. second floor.
it's a lot bigger, but hardly noticeable from the ground. if you saw it you'd probably wonder how and why someone climbed up to reach there, just to get in to a teenager's room full of the usual discarded junk, memories and possessions.

except if you knew better, you'd know it wasn't made by someone trying to get in.
