It must be an antique.
You mean like us?
Yeah, I suppose so.

"Stephen!"
"Just Coming!"
And he did come down. Just not the way he should've done. When I heard the sickly splintering of glass, I thought... well, really, I don't know what I thought.

A shared kiss and a stolen one.

Discordant strumming
She was wavering, swaying but she wasn't alone. The whole room was drunk.

madness, like a train spiralling
down along a whirl of gravity
defying tracks until one day
you know you'll just lose control
or run out of track.
That the tracks will fall out
from under you
somehow is inevitable.
as time tolls on, you begin to
feel more Lucy Jordan
and less like Lady Greensleeves
your room, your house, your life
and your computer fall to clutter
how do you expect your mind
to survive and not
fling you into
utter madness in the end
I go on and survive the best I can
as life rolls away and onwards
time weaves and wanders
as I grow ever more aware of my plight
the best I can do to stay sane is write

Jan. 27th, 2011 10:32 pmHigh up here I feel I have
the whole sky in my sights.
I see the watery roads
and the concrete canals.
Some buildings half-built
others left half-torn down.
Greenery speeds past
welcome after the long-stretched winter
The entire duration of the universe
And the whole wide expanse of time
The moment of love
Another mere eternity of fear
This is it
And it is all
the whole sky in my sights.
I see the watery roads
and the concrete canals.
Some buildings half-built
others left half-torn down.
Greenery speeds past
welcome after the long-stretched winter
The entire duration of the universe
And the whole wide expanse of time
The moment of love
Another mere eternity of fear
This is it
And it is all
