I hide all day behind the curtains
Or until the shadows grow and touch my window,
But all this darkness is making my eyes burn
Laying in bed, with the past pressing at my mind,
My arms turn bruised and sore
From reaching out so far to feel if I’m alone
And in your absence I’m counting heartbeats like paperclips,
Pinning together shreds of words I cannot say
Because I’m too afraid to dangle off the edge of my bed
Or confront the demons that whisper in the night
So somewhere along the ceiling seams
I see no future in silver words,
They lose their luster too soon to change a thing
And die a dull, forgotten death on ears too willing to believe
The truth holds no relief when it’s hidden so well,
Disguised by the sun as nothing more than shadows;
Empty memories and dreams long gone
Of a girl unable to speak or feel

How have you been?
Seems like we haven't talked in ages. -

I've been ok. I've been trying to get into writing again, but just seems that time slips away and I just can't think of anything to put into words.
How are things on your end?
And it doesn't seem like ages...it has been ages
but I hope all is well for you
Have a good week and we'll talk soooooon I hopes

I know what you mean, I haven't been able to write much lately.

I can't control when we talk I'm online alllllll the time and you are not so it's not completely my fault
-
-
:-o
..hmm, well I am online, just apparently not at the same time as you
what time are you usually on?
-
-
LOL Hmm..well I guess it would be safe to say that I'm obviously on whenever you're NOT on actually I get home from the gym around 9ish every night so I usually get on for a little bit after that, but I try not to linger to long cause I won't get any sleep
-
-
hmmm, 9ish you say...I've been watching my nephews so I haven't been getting on much sorry
I shall try
-
-
lol I would rather you watch your nephews then get on and talk to me I won't be selfish...this time hah
-
-
Haha it's not like I'm going to leave them alone so I can sneak away with my laptop. I wont be ignoring them silly and my Mum will be here too so yeah
But I did just realize that I made plans for tonight so I wont be online sorry. I WILL talk to you there soon though okay
-
-
lol Ooooh now. I know you're a little more responsible than that, but I'd have to say if it were me I would just put them up on Rock Band and that keeps them busy for a few hours haha but it's ok. I had plans tonight too sooo I'll let you off the hook...THIS time. I hope you enjoy yourself though and I'm sure we'll catch each other on sooner or later
-
-
