trying to daydream, but my mind keeps wandering

terrance w. mann

[loveandraisins]

alone

hell isn't

flames & fury

hell is cold

& silent

[loveandraisins]

leaving you was the

last real decision that i’ve made

cuz i’ve been terrified

to make another one ever since

[loveandraisins]

i simply don’t accept

a world without you

[loveandraisins]

people aren’t cruel

the world is cruel, i think

[loveandraisins]

it's unfortunate that i still can't forget

twm

[loveandraisins]

if god is everywhere,

then my sorrow is divine,

for he is in my tears

[loveandraisins]

i cried out to God in the darkness,

in the hour of my deepest need,

but it was the devil who answered

[loveandraisins]

you are

a piece of work

of art

[loveandraisins]

your kisses have grown cold

[loveandraisins]

I’ve seen you before, in my dreams.

“It is a burden to understand life as gods do. Never fully knowing whether or not Eternity ends can drive wild even the most unyielding mind. Perhaps the Creator simply intended to spare you, for there is yet much to learn of this world.”

The words stirred Eve awake from her slumber, and she shot a worried glance toward Adam. But he was still fast asleep amongst the deer in the grass. Eve had been waking from the same dream ever since she could remember, but the commotion never seemed to rouse him. It would bother her on occasion, but tonight she was grateful to be alone.

The serpent is right, of course, she thought. The Creator would not forbid us, except to keep us from harm. She began repeating that thought, as she had always done, but the words seemed to lack conviction this time. 

She continued to ponder the dream, even as she found herself walking guardedly toward the Tree of Knowledge.

[loveandraisins]

how fair your fabrications

i need to be loved

in ways with which you are

familiar

[loveandraisins]

dying stars & dead wishes

maybe the star that we

wished upon

was already dead

[loveandraisins]

fool’s hope

i look forward to the time

when i’ll go entire days

without being reminded of you

[loveandraisins]

Cupid’s arrows are shaped in such a way

that they tickle and poke and pinch

when they first go in,

but they sever and rip and tear

when they are pulled out

[loveandraisins]

partners in crime

i want us to spend life

being a part of

each other’s lies

not victims of them

[loveandraisins]

i don’t care about

anything that i have,

except for my time

so

don’t waste it

[loveandraisins]

don't be ridiculous

no, i’m not always thinking about you

it’s only when i’m awake

and sometimes when i’m sleeping, too
