Oberon & Titania by Arthur Rackham
It’s weird what medicine and sickness will do to your dreams like
fever: your deepest fear
anesthesia: kaleidoscope
NyQuil: face centipede
Benadryl: the hat man
It makes no sense.
One time, I was sick with a fever and I was scrolling on YouTube because I was bored and found a show called “Poppe the performer” and it was so weird I had to get my brother to watch it with me because I couldn’t tell if it was a fever dream or not.
Centuries ago, one chilly winter night,
You smiled, held my hand in yours to leave behind,
Memories that twists my heart like a dagger,
While I wish my every sigh to be the last one
Since then I searched those amber eyes everywhere,
The color of maple leaves during the fall
I searched for you knowing that you are nowhere
Until I met someone who understood my pain.
Years passed away, and my companions with it.
I stayed the same, and so did our memories.
The only immortal things I've come across.
The living me, and the intangible us.
Now centuries later, this chilly winter
With this lovely human curled up next to me
I feel mortal. Not alive, just plain mortal.
Every second prized, every moment precious
With those same amber eyes, like a setting sun
One that threatened to burn me eons ago.
Have I wished for you often and hard enough?
That you had no other choice but to come back.
is it just me or does 2016 kinda feel like a fever dream?
Like there was the big election that seemed like it was advertised way more than any other election we’d had before
then there was the killer clown thing that we did nothing about
that weird app between vine and tik tok was popular called musical.ly or something
there were like no bigger artists that put out music (except for maybe Ariana grande I think) so we were just kind of bopping to weird rappy-hip pop songs that nobody really knew the names of the artists who made them
I’m not even gonna start on the god awful make up trends I’m mean Jesus Christ
everyone was still coping from the loss of one direction.
Like that was a weird ass year
