Regrets from a princess,
Or a knight
Let’s call it a night.
My heart beckons me to your every call.
It races, it leaps, frolicking in some poisonous daises.
Why doesn’t it know any better?
Each day is a lesson learned
Each day is a prayer earned.
My hatred for syrup is the same as my feelings- a sticky situation that i can’t get myself out of.
I want to cry
And i cry.
I’m angry
Again.
I’m let down
Again
What does it look like for one person to hold on while the other hand has let go? For me it looks like awkward car rides with no way home cause nothing lasts forever
It’s like sleeping in the same house but in different rooms
KNITTED
She had knit you a sweater,
You wear it every day.
You’ve had it sixteen years so-
It’s to no surprise that you'd never throw it away.
The threads follow you like a trail of shadows,
It’s thin and damaged
It smells of hard work
She had knit you a sweater,
You wear it every day
You say it’s disgusting
But you never cleaned it anyway.
She had knit you a sweater,
You hate it with such pain
To have met you was not a careful thing,
Neither graceful nor patient,
And we definitely didn’t know what we were
Getting ourselves into.
All we know is happiness,
Your presence, and essence scream joy.
You are my warm kindred spirit,
My daring bog creature,
My knight in shining armor
Your lips do wonders
The words that flow from your lips are always spoken with such a passion that makes the angels jealous
When i close my eyes, i can still feel you on my skin
What a blessing you are
From all the prayers I’ve prayed, to be met with your gaze,
My heart won’t stop
Racing
My hands never forgiving,
To let you go is always hard
But to see you once more, i thank the very car you drove in.
Quick shout out to skin!
For being soft and warm! Also, you contain horrors I cannot comprehend...
Just a girl, wrapped in a blanket, with the wind whistling and the rain storming outside, doing her research for her thesis, in a paratextual friendship with twenty-years-old Mary Shelley she will never know about because we are two centuries apart
WX.
I don’t owe you
Anything.
Nothing at all.
I don’t have anything else
To offer.
But you know that – don’t you?
Just look at your damn sweater
I have knit you everything I could
It now has holes and you trip on the
Threads.
Perhaps you would like to tangle
Yourself in those threads
They didn't let you down
You did.
You dig, dig, and dig.
Sputnik Sweetheart, Haruki Murakami
EVERYTHING
His eyes, oh his eyes were jewels
I wanted to rob him blind
He stared at me like I was something
My heart rushed, jumping in my chest
Why did I feel like I was
Nothing to him?
He whispered to me
“What are we?”
Nothing
Coldness surrounds us
Could we be something?
Could he keep me warm?
“What am I to you?”
I whispered back.
His eyes never left my gaze,
Never blinking
“Everything.”
