Ah update time! This update's probably not as long as usuall and I made all the quotes not like.. Spaced out because I like the way legnthly paragraphs and shit look with this layout.. I'm silly. I probably won't do that any more though because it takes way too much effort, haha.. But yeah. (:


I had tangles in my hair. But you make me feel so pretty.

 

Your face it dances and it haunts me. Your laughter's still ringing in my ears. I still find pieces of your presence here, even after all these years.

 

From her lips I heard her say, "Can I have you?"  Caught up on what to say, I said, "you do"

 

Been alone since you were twenty-one, you haven't laughed since January. You try and make like this is so much fun, but we know it to be quite contrary.

 

If you were here you'd realize what you did stay for a million years, I’d make you cry my tears. But you're not here and I’m not strong, and this old thing's gone on too long. I need to leave this on my shelf, but instead I say it to myself.

 

But you are what you love, and not what loves you back. I’m in love with illusion so saw me in half. I’m in love with tricks so pull another rabbit out your hat.

 

I just keep waiting for something to happen. Waiting for somebody to come walking in, somebody as perfect as you were, so I can try it again. But chances are so hard to come by and the second one is impossible to find.

 

I wake up in tear drops, they fall down like rain. I put on that old song we danced to and then I head off to my job, guess not much has changed.

 

Before you come back next, I will prepare the rifle, and we will hunt for those with no dreams

 

It’s a march to extinction, with your god in step. It’s his name on your mouth; it’s his cross on your neck. It’s a farm boy sprinting over desert dirt; & he’s panting the “Our Father” in staccato spurts. It’s his automatic rifle and it tells no lies, that there’s truth in your stomach there’s no alibi. But the trouble lies on the other side, with an equal truth prepping for his holy night. See the crescent and the star blinking in the virgin sky, here’s the call of milk and honey from the afterlife. As he eases to the checkpoint he is calm and sure, that collateral damage is the cost of war. It’s another bag of bones for the gods to sort.

 

I want to run but only far enough to make you miss me. I want to take back all the shit that I have done but I guess you were better off without me.

 

I think I’ll go out and embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in the street. You say I choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me. Maybe you're right.

 

I’ll teach you how to swim if you turn the bad in me to good again.

 

Everything I love gets lost in drawers.

 

And once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely.

 

You can't navigate me. I might do mean things and I might hurt you and I might run away without your permission and you might hate me forever, and I know that that scares the shit out of you, because I’m the only real thing that you have.

 

I would spend a lifetime trying to figure out how to make my heart stop beating. I would spend a lifetime trying to figure out how to make myself stop breathing.

 

For a second there I thought you disappeared. It rains a lot this time of year. And we both go together if one falls down. I talk out loud like you're still around.

 

"There's a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live"

 

I hate how after a fight, it takes so long to go back to how things used to be, and how sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you'll never go back to how it used to be.

 

Alone in the city and she's only seventeen. The boy left her black and blue in the street so mean. Just twelve weeks along and she's got a life inside, says she's never, ever felt so alone.

 

Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee and never ever watch the ten o'clock news, and maybe you should kiss someone nice.

 

"People like me don't have best friends. You can't trust me, and I won't let you. I won't get close to you because I’m afraid of losing you. I’ll protect you from me and protect me from myself by avoiding confrontation, which will lead us to a falling out, inevitably. I will keep secrets from you and tell your secrets to people you hate in order to push you away. I’ll do anything to keep myself from getting attached to you because I’ve been there before and I don't want to go back to being dependent on anyone."

 

What value would there be in life if we are not together?

 

We make believe every day, we make our lives seem like they're still worth living, when we find out in the end it's only us that we've been kidding.

 

I marveled at how fast old loyalties, ones that took years to build, could be ripped apart and replaced. I knew I had lost him, but I felt desperate to recruit a small piece of his heart back to me. Make him feel a sliver of what he used to feel for me.

 

And I recall how you sat on the same side of me, it really seems that you'll always be on my side. You’re my best side.

 

I left you waiting, at the least could we be friends? Should have never started.. Ain't that the way it always ends?

 

It’s been a few years and I miss you still. I got your picture on the window sill. Been thinking of ways, I got days to fill. Don’t think I ever will. Hold on to things you can't explain. Hold on to dancing in the rain. Hold on to kisses on the lips. Savor every sweet moment, 'cause baby this is it. So hold on, hold on. I’ve been cleaning up this mess, found an old metal box with some black and white photographs. A little faded but baby you still sure do look good in that old dress. Didn’t we wish we were superstars? Sign our names in the dust on your family car. We’d be waving to the crowd, you be the diva, and I’ll play guitar. Hold on to things you want to be. Hold on to friends and family. Hold on to burning the summer sun, it makes a difference everyone. Hold on, hold on.

 

Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders. Well, don't you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder?

 

I’ll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about. And she's got everything that I have to live without.

 

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me.

 

And if you ask me if I love him, I’d lie.

 

I know you'd rather see me gone than to see me the way that I am but I am in the life anyway

 

Well, can't you just leave me alone? You’ve already thrown all the sticks and stones you had to send my way. Well, can't you just leave it at that and spare us both the bother? Because I just bounce back anyway.

 

I waited for a bus to separate the both of us, and take me off, far away from you 'cause my feelings never change a bit. I always feel like shit. I don't know why. I guess that I just do. You once talked to me about love, and you painted pictures of a never never land and I could have gone to that place.

 

Let’s turn the record over. Your life's a pleasant valley. Moonlight drives. A garden in the sun. Your shadow stays behind me, graceful as a dancer in a ballet.

 

When there is nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire

 

I know it's late, I need you to open my chest, my chest. Fix whatever you need to be fixed. So long as I can hold you, breathe in rhythm with you. It’s all that I’ve waited for.

 

And it’s not a party, if it happens every night. I’m running on empty, you're running out of luck. So let’s ditch this city, before we sober up.

 

We can't talk like we used to,  there's just some things we can't say.

 

Eviscerated the love I thought we had. I won't make it back. These words are stronger than the promise you forgot we had.

 

I’m starting with the man in mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways. No message could've been any clearer, if you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make the change.


Life's been good. Way good. I can't believe how silly I was to be stuck on Mike like that.. Such a silly one I was. I feel like I've matured, even over the course of a few months.. I just feel amazing. I've never felt this way. Nick makes me feel like I'm floating by, day to day.. But it's good. And I've strayed away from the drugs and parties and shit.. Sure I'll do it once in a while, like last weekend was the first time in like 2 months that I touched alcohol or weed.. Life's just good. And like I said before, I'm gonna try and get back into this.

Hope everyone's doing lovely. Comments are nice <3 (:
