So don't think that I'm pushing you away
(And you just keep on getting closer )

When you're the one that I've kept closest

Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sun

I’m ready to go anywhere,
I’m ready to fade into my own parade.

Cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

good news

i should be getting my camera back tomorrow.

update: ...and i did. however, it's in pieces. let's hope i'm smart enough to get it back together.

i still take the long way home.

It's the inarguable injustice of loving someone who might have loved you back but can't, due to deadness.

I have seen you in various stages of undress.
I have seen you through various states of madness.
I have seen your refractions and I did not recognize you.
I have seen you in various states of madness.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I am sorry I had nothing left for you.
My mind was willing and my spirit was strong.
My lips were tired and tightened from singing along.
My eyelids are heavy as anchors thrown over.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I have seen you in the eyes of a hundred thousand other stranger faces.
I have seen you in unlikely and unfamiliar places.
I have seen you be reckless in matters of love.
I have seen by degrees the boiling point come and go.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
What lies at the end of this long and dark and twisted road?

I have seen you in various stages of undress.
I have seen you through various states of madness.

I try to walk though life with arms open - ready, and excited. Why should I go though life with arms crossed? Prepared to block every emotion, feeling, or misery that crosses my path, or at times charges at me. And yes, living with open arms and spread fingers does mean I often catch rain, and I let it hit me where it may land - which often times is my heart. I let it hit me and I feel its chill. But, I feel. And if my arms were always crossed, though I may be able to block the rain from getting to me, I would then also suffer from never feeling at all. Which I believe is the more intolerable of the two.

Rain can be depressing, rain can be cleansing.

As far as I was concerned, there were pieces of the puzzle missing, but not lost, just scattered – and it was up to me to search high and low to find them, gather them up, bring them back, and find out exactly where they fit, until I could see the whole picture – perfectly intact. But what I felt was my duty was also my down fall – perfectionism. I wanted a perfect clear picture, but perfection is meant for jigsaw puzzles. That’s the point of them. To figure them out and make it so their pieces are un-scattered and perfectly in place. But that applies to puzzles, you see? Not you, not people, not life. And as I have come to see, I wouldn’t want my life to be a perfect picture anyways.
And if there are people who do, then I honestly find them boring.

You were polite and laughed at both the circumstance and my all too honest jokes. That’s something you should know about me, when I get nervous I also get very honest, and ramble on and on, and say the first thing that comes to mind, which is no doubt embarrassing and most probably threatening to my cause.

I found you, and that's when I realised just how young I was, that and that perhaps optimism is interchangeable with stupidity.

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And her eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er her streaming throws her shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
