Behind the Sea

Regret is more of an aftertaste than an impact. The moment you let loose and realize what has changed in your atmosphere, that's when it kicks in. What's a worse pain than knowing it ended? The past is laminated and set behind bars of pain and longing. It's impossible to ever fix anything; it's only possible to make up for mistakes. I wonder if you ever spend half as much time as I do just thinking about everything that has come and go. Sooner than later, I'm gone and everything is turned into stone. Mark the days in the calendar with a kiss each - don't make me feel forgotten. Rise and fall. Rise and fall, baby. I'm broke from love, a crack in my empty shell. Diamond eyes and ruby lips embrace my heart, illuminating my every step into uncertainty and doubt. I lack zeal to live it through.

lovemelovemeloveme.

Can you hang onto the rope for me? I'm busy handling my other problems. "'Till death do us part" is kind of a ridiculous statement, isn't it? Life is already ripping me into pieces. I scribble words and carve them into trees. I camp away with the devil, and I live my life in past-tense. I've been half of what I've always been ever since. Remember how the cement screamed out your name? Let me in for one last time, and I gave away my heart (and my soul) on the back of your car. "That's enough" No, it isn't baby. No, it fucking isn't.

Admittedly, this isn't the way I should be reacting, but I live to see you illuminate your spotlight eyes and smile like a honeycomb falling in love. You're the sweetest of dreams, the vast landscape of a poet's love - the true meaning to "understatement." I hate how you make me feel. So much for "wonderwall" I only project my arrogance to hide from my shortcomings. I've had my heart broken more times than all the sunken anchors at the bottom of the sea. Why did I give myself away? Give me lighter, I need to light a path. I need to move past this, or forget it all together. Maybe if I let it loose. Maybe if I let loose.

"And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand"

    "That's enough." "No. it isn't baby. No, it fucking isn't."
    This is me 95% of the time. I'm not done fighting. Neither are you.

  2. Blogger was down yesterday, so my comment must've gotten deleted.

    "When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

    "That's enough. No, it isn't baby. No, it fucking isn't." This is me 95% of the time. I don't know when to quit. And neither do you. So the only solution is to let love loose and keep fighting and writing.
