I know now
'cos I am the words.
You have written me down
line by line
in metaphor and simile
you've painted a picture
of me and my ribbons.
In the effortless characters
your graphite blood
renders my soul.
I know now that
you have me figured out.
Put me under a magnifying glass
studied me and found
the threads that have unraveled,
bits of the tapestry of my mind.
I know now
what's keeping me sane.
A junkie, a slut, a spinner?
A spinner of webs,
of visions and concepts,
imprints of my tattered spirit.
Others whisper curses about her,
voodoo hexes chanted to heathen gods.
But they don't know what I know now.
That she's
Maybe.
Maybe, that cursed word.
The word that kills me,
but at the same time,
keeps me alive.
You said it.
Coming from you, maybe is hope.
Maybe was like the word hope itself.
Hope that we could be something more.
That this ring I wear could mean something.
Something so pure,
like your beautiful words,
the delicate verses that flow
from your fingers
burned like fragile scars
into the white lined existence
that all lyrics share.
Hope that burns, cracks, and smolders
this fire, this inferno that ignites,
rages inside of me, taking me higher,
til I reach dizzy new heights,
blinded with the lights,
the flames of this brilli
My hand is lonely
and craves to embrace yours
to entwine our fingers,
to hold you close.
My angel, my darling,
I miss you so much.
It's been so long, baby, since I felt your touch.
Your beautiful kisses
made my breath leap
but I think there's a promise that I have to keep.
I'll always be there
if you need someone to cry to
someone to hear you,
someone to hold you,
someone to reassure you,
cos we all have grey days.
I've always been attracted
like an unbearable force.
Sometimes I have to check myself
before I fall for you,
step over the edge
into the endless valley of you
that seductive rush
when you know you've fallen h
Here I stand, shouting these vows into the wind
But you can't hear them
I told you before, but we spinned
Out of control again
So now I must bide my time
Like the darkness before the night
But even as I pen these lines
I think of the last smile, the last sight
I had of you...the last time
I looked into your eyes
I can still remember it, that fine
Night that held no lies
So here I am with my thoughts and my love for you
But somehow you can't see
This cold night that I fell into
And the simple fact that I could be
The person who sees you for who you really are
I know what you feel is true
Like the light from the brightest star
I think you've given me withdrawl
Because your kisses
Felt like silk beneath it all
And I know your touch will make me miss
You so terribly tonight
But even more so now I know
I want this to be more than just kisses
Because, darling, I can see there's more below
The beautiful girl I so badly miss
Your neck was like velvet as I kissed it
And I felt you hold your breath
Maybe somehow my feelings can fit
With the kisses of the girl I'm missing to death
I can't stop this addiction to you
I know I can say right now definitively
That I'd want no on in the world
But you lying here next to me
Just like you were tonight when I twirled
some people just don't get it. by superinfatuation, literature
Literature
some people just don't get it.
These people talk like it's some kind of sickness
something that a ribbon and a speech
will inoculate you against.
like this sick motto will stop the pain
of a thousand broken hearts.
like there will always be a note or a warning
before it happens.
like every cookie-cutter kid will fit
your so-called signs.
Sick motto.
"it's ok 2 ask 4 help!"®
You disgust me.
The catch is, the thing you don't see
is that the end of a life is so often signalled by
silence.
Because most whoa re serious
about ending this charade
never warn their friends.
Leaving the world in shock.

I hate this.
I detest being a depression poster child.
I loathe the fact that I can't feel good
about myself without being pumped full of
antidepressants.
I want to find out what it's like
to be content.
to be content by myself.
to not need anyone.
to not be addicted
to the rush of being wanted.
to stop filling this bottle of smirnoff
with my tears.
to stop tearing rose colored rivers
into my skin.
I used to believe that
these insicions were beautiful.
now I hate the fiery streaks
that I've burned into my arms.
I'm done.
Done hating myself.
You and I are all I can really count on
in this fractured reality, this

I am now the proud owner of a Nikon D80. It's about time.
Anyway, I'm going to upload some stuff here, but again, the majority of my work is on my flickr, and I simply don't have the time to post everything that's there on here.
i have a ridiculous amount of material to submit. it may take a while, since i have to pull everything off of flickr because the originals were on the school server, which has been nuked.
but if you are all too impatient, go over to my flickr (under 'website'). it gets updated a hell of a lot more than my deviantart.
oh, and i'm going back to chicago with an EOS 300D. look out.
i just got back from chicago.
there's a shitload of stuff coming. i have three rolls of film (4 soon), and a friend with a film scanner.
oh yeah.
I'm getting through the worst 6 months of my life, heh.
How's Colorado been for you?
After reading your comment, I *had* to find out of SH5 was being released for the 360 as well.... I was afraid I was going to have to start saving for yet *another* machine.
So are you optimistic about it or are you skeptical with the change of producers?
