I've given my life to Downton. @downtonlife - Tumblr Blog

i forgot that you existed

“ you did me wrong. ” “ i couldn’t get away. ” “ something happened one magical night. ” “ i forgot that you existed. ” “ i thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t. ” “ it isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference. ”

cruel summer

“ i’m always waiting for you. ” “ devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes. ” “ what doesn’t kill me makes me want you more. ” “ it’s new, the shape of your body. ” “ it’s a cruel summer with you. ” “ we’ll just screw it up in these trying times. ” “ if i bleed, you’ll be the last to know. ” “ said i’m fine, but it wasn’t true. ” “ i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you. ” “ i love you– ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard? ” “ i screamed, for whatever it’s worth. ”

lover

“ we could leave the christmas lights up till january. ” “ this is our place, we make the rules. ” “ there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you. ” “ have i known you twenty seconds, or twenty years? ” “ can i go where you go? ” “ can we always be this close? ” “ i’m highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you. ” “ i’ve love you three summers now, honey, but i want ‘em all. ” “ i take this magnetic force of a man/women/etc. ” “ my heart’s been borrowed, and yours had been blue. ” “ all’s well that ends well to end up with you. ” “ save all your dirtiest jokes for me. ” “ at every table, i’ll save you a seat. ” “ darling you’re my lover. ”

the man

“ i played the field before i found someone to commit to. ” “ i’m so sick of running as fast as i can. ” “ wondering i’d get there quicker is i was a man. ” “ i’m so sick of them coming at me. ” “ coz if i was a man, then i’d be the man. ” “ they’d say i hustled, put in the work. ” “ they wouldn’t shake their heads and questions how much of this i deserve. ” “ it’s okay that i’m mad. ”

the archer

“ i’m ready for combat. ” “ i don’t want that. ” “ cruelty wins in the movies. ” “ i’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches i almost said to you. ” “ easy they come, easy they go. ” “ i never grew up. ” “ help me hold on to you. ” “ i’ve been the archer, i’ve been the prey. ” “ who could ever leave me, darling? ” “ but who could stay? ” “ who could ever leave me, darling, but who could stay? ” “ i search for your dark side. ” “ what if i’m all right, right here? ” “ i hate my reflection for years and years. ” “ i pace like a ghost. ” “ all of my heroes die all alone. ” “ i see right through me. ” “ can you see right through me? ” “ all the king’s horses, all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again. ” “ all of my enemies started out friends. ”

i think he knows

“ his/her/their hands already a cold glass make me wanna know that body like it’s mine. ” “ got that boyish look i like in a man. ” “ i’m an architect, i’m drawing up the plans. ” “ nobody understands. ” “ he/she/they got my heartbeat skipping down 16th avenue. ” “ wanna see what’s under that attitude. ” “ i want you. ” “ i think he knows. ” “ i’ll make myself at home and he’ll/she’ll/they’ll/you’ll want me to stay. ” “ hand on my thigh, we can follow the sparks. ”

miss americana & the heartbreak prince

“ you know i adore you. ” “ i’m crazier for you than i was at 16. ” “ now i’m feeling hopeless. ” “ i counted the days, i counted the miles. ” “ it’s been a long time coming. ” “ it’s you and me, that’s my whole world. ” “ you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. ” “ voted most likely to run away with you. ” “ i see the high fives between the bad guys. ” “ you are the only one who seems to care. ” “ i’m feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed. ” “ darling, i’m scared. ” “ no cameras catch my muffled cries. ” “ i counted the miles to see you there. ”

eyes killer cold and black and bare. i wanna go back, i wanna go back. i wanna take to my guns and break you. i’m so so cold in the marrow of my bones. i was in full bloom until i met you. dance with me and shake your bones. paperback dreams in my deep doze. take your throne, pump your veins with gushing gold. shake my little soul for you now. i’m a fool of many tricks and tools and joy, with a battery of guilt on which to poise. mind my wicked words and tipsy topsy slurs. i can’t take this place, i just wanna go where i can get some space. i take your gloom, i curl it up and puff it into plumes. how can i believe you, how can i be nice, tripping around the tree stumps in your summer smile? face so lost, petrified, timid twitch in your wide eyes. you’re so juiced, you said you’d kick the booze. don’t you cry, don’t you drain those big blue eyes. i fake my breaking smile. i’m a twisted fool, my hands are twisted too. don’t spin me a lie, i’m crooked but upright. all i ever want, is just a little love. all i ever want, is breaking me apart. makes my nerves clench close and my bones go cold when i see that room. your smile so super quiet. you won’t make it back this time. you know, you know the way that i hide. why don’t you dance like you’re sick in your mind? you know the way that i hide for you. can’t you feel your dirty face? don’t it leave that filthy taste? you can’t breathe without me.

daddy was dumb, said that i’d be something special. brought up tough but i was a gentle human. said that he loved each of my two million freckles. i sit in the car and i listen to static. you were clearly meant for more than a life lost in the war. i know you’ll feel the ghost of the memory so warm. my body’s in tatters, in an ordinary fashion. maybe, i wish i could remold you to vertical and golden. it hurts to say it’s hopeless and we ain’t gonna make it. sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me sad. why can’t we laugh now like we did then? how come i see you and ache instead? how come you only look pleased in bed? i want you for the world, i want you all the time. i won’t forget how you looked at me then. why don’t i say it then? i want you all the time. my heart strings broke and it was me, i pull they stretch infinitely. in the summer silence i was getting violent. i’ll be dreaming in my paper pale skin. burn through my love just like your drugs. everything you didn’t know you were looking for. i wish you could see the wicked truth, caught up in a rush it’s killing you. i settle for a ghost i never knew. i miss him, don’t you blame me. i feel so fucking numb. gonna fuck my way through college. i’m gonna sleep ‘cos you live in my daydreams. i am a true romantic, free falling love addict. pulled me through the door and stuck her teeth in deep. all your days are gone, sitting on the floor in your underwear, begging me for more. why don’t you light that cigarette and calm down, now stop and breathe a second. go back to the very beginning. can’t you see what was different then? your head is so numb. that nervous breath you try to hide, between the motions that trembling tender little sigh. i want to hold you like you’re mine. you’re gone but you’re on my mind. i’m lost but i don’t know why.

THE CRAWLEYS + NAMES

#FAMILY.

He will clear his throat, glancing around his surroundings. He has yet to feel completely at ease in the whole grandeur of everything, and though his whole purpose was to inherit Downton, he still does have a hard time wrapping his head around it all. The idea that he would wed Mary did not quite come to fruition ( again ) and he gives Robert a half smile, shaking his head.

“If I’m to be honest, there was –…there was a moment where I thought that maybe we -…” but he trails off, exhaling loudly. “You have always made me feel comfortable, Robert. I am only sorry I could not be that same beacon for Mary. I feel as if I’ve let you down in a way - silly, I know. I do care for her, I do, and I wish her all the best, truly, but I suppose it wasn’t meant to be. London will –…London will clear my head.” Matthew does his best to change the topic. “Have you see the latest in the paper? There are some disruptions on the continent – they’re talking about war.”

“of course. may the city air and flair bring you better thoughts. should you desire, ring rosamund. she would be happy to host you.” robert sighs. he takes a moment before standing and going to his cigar box, taking out two. he offers one to matthew. “terrible business. germany seems to be getting out of hand. trouble is on the horizon. may we hope it does not reach our shores. we don’t need to lose our boys again.” he still remembers the second boer war with bates. “what do you think of it all?”

“Well, I’ll take a few days - I’d hate to intrude on you and Cora’s hospitality. Mother will be quite happy in Crawley House, but I suppose I’ll make my way down to London.” He will pause, choosing his next words wisely before glancing back over at Robert. “I’m sure Mary will find some old chap that’ll do her wonders. She and I however -…I think there may simply be too much history.”

“london? is it really so terrible that you must go to london? you are always welcome here, matthew. this will be your castle to command someday.” robert gestures at the walls. “mary will be fine. she has plenty of men trying to snatch her up. she continues to be too stubborn to settle on the right chap.” he purses his lips together tightly. “is there no changing your mind at all? anything i can do to make you feel more... comfortable?”

A quiet exhale as Matthew runs a hand through his hair. Frustration runs through his blood, but luckily they do not show on his features. “I’m -…sorry, Robert, I - you know, I truly am, but…Cousin Mary rather seems quite set in her decision as well. I do not wish to push the matter any further.”

“i can’t say i don’t understand, but it’s bad business.” robert sighs, resting back against the couch. he relaxes against it, eying matthew. “what will you do now?”
