I know a game we can play in the dark and the day.
Everywhere it is, it lingers
You can't help but inhale the air
It corrodes the words on my tongue
So I just bathe my face
And run.
I'm missing my cosmic kisses
And my blue elephant man
And everyone in between that left me
Wondering where all the love went -
Which direction, so I can just wake up.
Smell the coffee.
Feel the birds on my back.
Get on track.
I cried when the rain went
And my friend waved with a hand lift
In a way that was more profound
Than anything else in the world.
My friend was a stranger who made me weep
My friend disappeared into the fog.
Every silence is a sad reminder
That this may be rock bottom
Every scream shatters hearts, makes me grieve
For my sanity.
Be still - it's just a quiet breath
With the drawstrings loosened and all that
Melancholy,
Released into the night and yet
All of it is here,
Scooped up with baby fingers and
Pressed against my chest.
Like wet sand.
Like prints.
I feel fickle by day and engulfed by night
I'm still waiting for the lift
To take me home, to keep the ghost
Safely wrapped in my arms,
So I can be surrounded.
Once more,
By cosmic kisses and my
Blue elephant man and
Everything in between.
In other news,
1. I'm making a new layout for my portfolio, featuring teen angst. I like it.
2. I used the cash register at work today! And I am scared of my boss, who is kind of scary looking when he's standing over your shoulder and teaching you how to rip receipts properly. I'm so afraid he's going to yell at me.
3. I love books. I'm picking up 7 items at the library tomorrow, consisting mostly of books and one or two CDs.
4. The weather is awful. It's soooo muggy and hot, I can't stand it. Today, I walked out of my wonderfully air-conditioned apartment and the minute I stepped outside, I was blasted by this unpleasant whoosh of heat. It was horrid.
5. I am starting to like The Pipettes, despite my previous hatred for them. They're always stuck in my head.
6. I am moving after all. But not to the place I was ranting about before. To another place, which I'm actually kind of excited to move to.
7. I know I hardly respond to any of your entries, but I read all of them. I just don't know what to say most of the time. Maybe I don't know you well enough to strike up a random conversation with you. I'm sorry.
8. I'M ALMOST DONE THOSE ICONS. SERIOUSLY. I'll probably get them up tomorrow/Wednesday/soon.
