These past few days have fallen
heavy as my eyelids these
many
sleepless
nights.
Sick with my anxiety and
too much of your intense sweetness,
I need to walk alone for a while.
Too close in proximity,
I need to feel my stride slow and quicken,
my own changes of pace,
all the while knowing
I will not let anyone fall away
while I wander.
So I say goodbye,
a loss to us both, but
for me a step necessary for
solitude and
freedom,
and for you a freeing step
to move to someone better.
I remember...
I was over on the other side of the water, having taken the ferry. At the moment I don't recall the name of the place, even though I've been there many times before. Names are not important right now.
Life had been wearing me down. Nothing seemed right in my little world. I could think of nothing but the weight on my shoulders, a nameless worry pressing me low to the ground.
My family and I arrived at a relative's house. They chatted about what was going on in everybody's lives. It was all humor and jokes, the laughter hung in the air like a merry symphony.
I stayed quiet, feeling uncomfortable at the thought of unload
Her long peasant skirts billowed in the wind like the clouds and trees on a windy day. Anything she put in her body was organically grown in her friend's garden. The ideals and ideas she held were considered outdated by many, and the local teenagers would often write things such as "The 60's are over" on her fencepost. She simply read these messages and grinned like a cat.
The paint in her house was enough to make someone dizzy. Vivid blues, greens, reds, oranges, pinks, and purples swirled everywhere in paintings, on furniture, and painted on the walls. A poster of Timothy Leary decorated a wall covered in an orange, red, a
Spiders, swift
as they continue their dance
along the web,
the only prey a reverberation desired.
Perfectly struck,
again and again,
the slow killing of the silence
and the continuation
of this skittering art
throughout time of elegant bliss
and an aural balm seeping into my veigns.
this is what happens
when you don’t care-
or you care just barely enough
to let yourself live
you got by without showing anything,
no affection to her
no care to her
as if you existed solely for yourself
and that ½ of her was you
did not matter
this has come now
to eat you away,
right where you were damaging yourself
the damage to the others,
on the other hand,
will manifest in your passing,
with the complete alienation
of your soul
from your body
Why
is he back
in your room?
in your heart?
Was the damage
he caused
not enough
at the start?
Four broken
once shy,
now it's back.
But why?
This mistake
is yours
to make,
my darling.
But don't say no one warned you
Now I try to sleep
the cars
which steadily
stream
past, and
the city lights
twinkle
in the distance,
while I look up
into the
gray-red sky.
Mourning the loss
Sitting sphynx-like
With a mysterious glance
And an arcane rumble of unknown origins
Commands the attention of everyone in the room
As you suddenly expose with a simple look
My every, deepest secret
And smugly look away
Now I try to sleep
the cars
which steadily
stream
past, and
the city lights
twinkle
in the distance,
while I look up
into the
gray-red sky.
Mourning the loss
Why
is he back
in your room?
in your heart?
Was the damage
he caused

This is an account full of terrible things I wrote 7+ years ago but I don't want to delete. I now use it to find art from the fandoms I love, and for a boredom cure when tumblr isn't doing the trick.
Hi I'm Courtney and this account is fairly inactive.
