In wild fit I had a dream
And let it rip me by the seams
Which I had stitched so carefully
With lies I hoped I could believe Deep in the copse her body lay
Caught somewhere ‘tween the night and day
Wreathed around with lilies white
Her china skin devoid of light I knelt alone there by her…

aphrite:
she laughed and she smiled she stood in the sun and shut her eyes she twirled her skirt and danced till she tired. she stayed away from the sad and never let herself cry. she never said hellos for the fear of goodbyes she built high walls and did not let bad inside and in ignorance of the world she found happiness inside.

If I could play an instrument I would stand in people’s way as they’re heading over to class, work, plucking all the right strings to make them regret that their work keeps them from art.
I would lead up to a crescendo during rush hour, when they’re are at the height of their self-inflicted frenzy and never finish my piece so they realize how human it is to find out how it all...
