once i get taken out back and shot i'll be fine

It feels like dying more often than living right now. I am more coroner than keeper. I am tired of being this way, but there is no other way to be when refusing myself would be damnation.

Then let me be your grave keeper, and lay you down to rest. The cemetery is alive with cicada calls and fireflies. I will place flowers at your grave and wait for you to wake to who you are meant to be.

[lone-pine-poetry]

I will hide it from you. I won’t speak of it anymore despite my own discomfort. I will become invisible in hopes you might love me again. It is only when you can’t see me clearly that I am given a scrap of love.

Happy birthday to my fav girl Tifa <33

whump is fun because you see a character and are like “i love you so much that i want to see you sobbing and covered in blood. i need you dying in a hospital bed. i need you cold, wet, and miserable. i love you and want you to suffer unimaginable horrors. then you can have a kiss on the head as a treat”
