thinking people lame
They think old people are lame. But they're not. They're awesome, & I know exactly why I think so. It's because they've lived entire lifetimes. Loved. Laughed. Surrendered. Stumbled. Weathered, beaten, still they don't crumble, not even as they inch toward death.
ice pouring know-me
I do have friends, but they don't know me, only someone I've created to take my place. Someone sculpted from ice. I keep the melted me bottled up inside. Where no one can touch her, until, unbidden, she comes pouring out.
player want serious
I know he wants to get serious. He's definitely not a player, not a poser, not a loser, not a user.
fun thinking half
I don't think we'll get caught, but the very possibility is half the fun.
love-is black needs
I don't love him, & he definitely doesn't love me. Still, he semi-fills a gaping black hole inside me. That place wants love, maybe even needs love, but love is something I"m pretty sure doesn't exist.
revenge believe thinking
The more I think about it, the more I believe there has to be a subtle yet satisfying method of revenge.
who-i-am sometimes
Sometimes I'm not so sure just who I am either.
fate life-is
Maybe Life is random. No fate. No God. Just Time.
nice belief kind
Must be nice to have that kind of unshakable belief in a merciful higher power.
school joy too-much
School used to be an escape. Now it's just another place with too much pressure, too much confrontation, & so not enough joy.
space want share
Always before, I just said no, left it solidly there. I waver now. I want to share everything with him. Want to know what he knows, feel what he feels, share the same space he's in.
evil accepted not-sure
I nod, because I do understand. I'm just not sure how to go about divorcing myself from the evil I've already accepted.
love-you waiting making-love
Before you, I believed love was making love. Waiting only makes me love you more.
over-you warning sometimes
Without Warning Sometimes you're traveling a highway, the only road you've ever known, and wham! A semi comes from nowhere and rolls right over you.
