And Someone To Use It One

“you will never be too much for someone who can’t get enough of you”

Tidal wave

I closed my eyes for a second Saw everything, all at once And the waves grew taller

The lighthouse was hanging on the lifeline The stars were falling into the ocean

And the water took over the city

Now everything I see is reminding me of where I want to be

Everything I see

can turn to dust in the blink of an eye

Had to make a meme to describe me currently

An unfinished story - this is what we are.

When I was young my dad offhandedly told me he thought people treated fish with so much casual cruelty because fish can’t scream.

The words branded themselves across my soul.

As an adult I think he may have been joking. He payed no especial attention to any indignities fish suffered in our household but I could never forget. I saw fish in a different light after that.

Fish kept in tiny bowls, breathing their own poisons, dying by inches. Fish kept in cold tanks, casually disposed of. Fish touted as being short lived when they could outlive the better loved family dog if only they could breathe. Fish casually won and discarded in cheap plastic bags, thrown away a week later.

How they would scream, if they could.

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

I made a meme

"How many graves will I need, to bury everything that died inside of me?"

They say “fake it till you make it.” The problem with that though is that you’ve been faking it all week, and now all you have to show for it is a new car, a new job, new friends, a newfound sense of purpose, and…. Ah.
