Headlights flashed strobe-dust on my blinking eyes
a little burst of sequinstars twinkling in the neverland i was waiting for,
and shouldn't we feel a little bit of
sadness?
with
time running thin like honey spread on rivita
dripping out of sync with everything we once believed in...
and happy-ever-after comes only in the form of armageddon-
happy
never
after lullabies in spider-kissed corners.
i'll find You
like angels floating on the last
slices of air - curled up in each other's dreams
and beliefs that we are something more perfect than we pretend to be.
we'll fly
crashing like broken hearts through
the shops - snapping window panes and the size 6 hangers
[[ screaming at the lies that they draped themselves around. ]]
we made words interlink into emotions no one could ever have expressed
the happiness of knowing that no one could ever read
pain personified into teenage girls.
brittle fingers slid between the cigarettes that couldn't kill us
and pretty poppers were our first course
[starter] to the cocain lines
that wouldnt make us ill.
only addicted to wasting our time.
we run through puddles placed idealy to splash each other's
bare legs
as we sprint down the runaway.
- i made no effort not to cry and tell you i missed you.
our laughter sinks into ditches of itoldyouso
and no more second chances as we huddle between each others bones.
curled into the darkest corners of a broken sugarcube church
where we pretend we were praying for
forgiveness
[ with vomit stained fingers and twisted eye-lashes]
and we hurled ourselves around each other
into a silence
snapped only by teary diamonds and useless notes
hopelessness
haunts us-
- and this is the way the world ends
not with a bang
but a whimper.
Author notes

roses and thorns
this is so cold, so beautiful
so absolutely what i was looking for
wrapping words around my heart so tight it hurts
i'm actually not quite sure what to say
or which bits were my favourite
although i love
'our laughter sinks into ditches of itoldyouso
and no more second chances as we huddle between each others bones.
curled into the darkest corners of a broken sugarcube church
where we pretend we were praying for
forgiveness
[ with vomit stained fingers and twisted eye-lashes]'

This entire thing was great, very well written but this:
"and shouldn't we feel a little bit of
sadness?
with
time running thin like honey spread on rivita
dripping out of sync with everything we once believed in..."
--really struck me and stuck with me through the entire read. Also,
" our laughter sinks into ditches of itoldyouso... - ...forgiveness"
--you have a way with sadness, eh? It's a good line to steal
-
and pretty poppers were our first course
[starter] to the cocain lines
that wouldnt make us ill.
amazing doll.
Very vivid words.
