i am a graveyard full of moments that i could have had with you
Let me fall silent,
Your nothingness stabs a hole in my ribs,
No substance, no form, no tangible hold
I dance between clarity and insanity
I have been looking everywhere for you,
I turned myself inside out,
I am a rabid dog,
I am a wanderer forever deprived of eden
I am your lamb,
Devour me, haunt my dreams,
It is still here,
It wouldn’t stop lest you come home to me
This bile of yearning filling up my organs,
It’s yours and yours alone.
Would you be the same if I taint my soul trying to search for yours?

I’ve been fixing up my room and this is kind of just what it’s at rn and I’m so happy
when whitman said “i contradict myself. i am large… i contain multitudes” and wilde said “what are you? to define is to limit” and sumney said “i insist upon my right to be multiple”
yes.
stop shaming people for being passionate about the things that they love. stop mocking people for having unusual interests. like, honestly, i'm so tired of feeling embarrassed for being "too much". if being too much means having deep interests that fill my life with romanticism and excitement, then let me be!!! i'd much rather listen to anyone ranting about their latest obsession with 16th century swords than have a boring ordinary conversation with those who shame passionate people

I was perfect.
What else could you have done
But pray?
To beg for a divine intervention
To be able to walk on air?
How else would you bear
your feet catching on fire
As the world burns around you?
