misericórdia

The place is empty

The show is over

No one’s here

Attention was plenty

So, my lover,

Why are are you still acting?

I wish I wasn't, such a dreamer. I've ruined this life for myself.

Terabithia

“I don’t build bridges

I hang ropes

Because bridges burn

And ropes soak

I dont suggest the easy

Or necessarily the hard

But my road to terabithia

Comes with enormous regard

Walk across the bridge

And I’m sure you’ll meet your fate

Never was I standing wait

But a nothing breeze to say your name

I’ll be standing at the rivers edge

With the lighter in my hand

You’ll either swing across my river bank

Or drown an unimaginable death

See, if you want to join my kingdom

You’ll have to put in work

Show me you can put out fires

Or absorb my devilish work

I’m the master of my destiny

You’re a character in my play

So tread my forests carefully

Or be sure the current will sweep you away”

Jennifer S. Cheng, from So We Must Meet Apart

[Text ID: Maybe what I’ve been trying to say all this time, as an explanation and apology, is that I sense a mass of white noise in front of my face wherever I go. It stands between me and the world, between me and other people. More and more I am finding myself lost in it, unable to make it through to the other side.]

[lightheadedbabe]

And if I fall, I will fail

[lightheadedbabe]

“I hold on to grudges for dear life Just as hard as I hold the clutch swerving down state street in a heat wave Seeking the thrill between hatred and adrenaline Which tends to boil over when my car gets too hot

I get stuck in this spot Waiting for the light to trigger and throw me forward To a place I may never come back from Because I can switch gears faster than my foot can slam on the pedal And I end up in a limitless stall once again

Because this mirage of you in the distance Is unreasonably out of reach And I cannot let go of this clutch Just like I cannot let go of this grudge This race against hating you and letting it go Will cause me to crash eventually

“If you see my name in the obituary, don’t you dare show up... because my car was overheating, and you didn’t care to stop”
