I don't remember conversations, dates or names, important faces or the streets I lived on. They all just roll right off of my back; So how can I recall that I don't recollect all of that? Your cheeks were flushed when I had played all the words left in my hand. "I fold" hovered in the air and choked me out when you had left. Your feet point towards mile markers and the rest stop restrooms you wish you'd never visited Because you don't resemble your reflection or its refracted intentions but I think you'll find no better parallel than yourself I hope that you're making steadfast progress on yourself

Fishing 05:02
we were idling in Sarah's car forever we'd always reiterate our distaste for everything and how we both wished that this place would extinguish but I remember when illumination stopped existing and how the lines of this city began to read like bad poetry I cannot reinstate a tenth of the emotion and I cannot resurrect this rigor mortis addled corpse we were in Tyler's car, punch drunk with facial scars leather jacket acapella... I can't remember the rest but I know that on Pilot Rock the Fates weren't smiling bright and through tear soaked pick-me-ups our hearts dissolved in our guts voting is hard and climbing is even worse choices grinding against the blood soaked grounds and even if we never register again i'll still think of your last grin and move past what was within it we fall in love with ghosts and then we fall right into what we love

constantly redefine every segment on the lines you've drawn. breaking off your loose syllables just to keep your lips warm. haunting through your house, or maybe Alvaton, caught up in another cigarette (we both know that you won't quit). cauterize every word that your mother has ever said. she came back after nine months just to pretend that she's not dead. still haunting through your house, or maybe Alvaton, and I'm NOT going to miss your hands, getting caught up in themselves, when you sleep. you're keeping secrets away from your friends and everyone else. i'm sorry i made you lose all of your control over everything but at least you know that I'm not sorry we're lost, moving closer to nothingness. getting lost in the void.

You were listening to Some old Death Cab when The longest drag Flew from your mouth You were so glad that all of your breaths were shortening So that all of your words were weighed down With all the effort that couldn't grace such simple rhetoric I won't live up to my potential Just to hear you say that I could And your hair's getting so comfortable Now you'll cut all the dead ends that confine you

D.H.S. 03:52
my heart is beating for the first time in my life but I wouldn't say i'm quite relieved by this crimson burden awake from slumbering I hope it taps out before this next breath drags on just a little too long but already we're like sleeping dogs and your hands felt just like me with no way to get across that feeling to you that's alright because i'm smiling at you and that warmth must be what my heart is breathing in right now I don't think that I can tap out you seem so goddamn reliant on my heart to breathe to carry you through everything does that make you happy? does that make you anything (more than some broken heart's afterbirth) I don't know I don't know.
