SHE DIVES INTO THE CLIFF OF MEMORIES

Cold, lone sea, moon, me.

[stagesoftheundressed]

Everything’s slipping off of my palms

Like sand escaping grasp

There’s no way I could ever hold on 

to the past

[stagesoftheundressed]

I opened the window to take a peak at the old scene I thought I’ve left. You’ve finally had the courage to draw the veils off of her face. You’ve finally brought her out, into the light.

While I stay in darkness, in silence. 

We’re all in the past.

Music

drowns

my sick

frowns

Singing

to the 

sound 

of my

silence

shutting 

everyone 

else from 

such a scene

Flood

of tears

new words

old thoughts

ellipsis

[stagesoftheundressed]

Please stop telling me to “be strong”.

He said, “We both left.”

So she slid into silence without even attempting to explain herself, never saying the words her wounds have been concealing ~

“I’m still here.”

[stagesoftheundressed]

I need new conversations.

[stagesoftheundressed]

One day, I’ll be okay not having you

[stagesoftheundressed]

Sorry at how naïve I could be

[stagesoftheundressed]

Breaking into many little pieces

[stagesoftheundressed]

Silence is the distance that separates us.

[stagesoftheundressed]

We’ve learned our virtues from movies                From Clementine asking Joel Concealed in the present moment, savoring every second, knowing        Everything will be gone soon  We’re ending like lovers fading               What do we do? And so everytime you cast your bow, I jump unto your arrow, catching it with my heart, allowing you all the power to take me as your prey          We enjoy it You are the hunter that dares the darkness and I, the hunted living in the shadows.

[stagesoftheundressed]

Maybe what truly cages me is my own desire to belong to you.

[stagesoftheundressed]

How do we leave

When we’ve planted ourselves

In this land we called “love”

[stagesoftheundressed]

I keep crying for flowers that fade as fast as I can breathe. I couldn’t turn back time. I couldn’t fight. I couldn’t move, do anything, how do I grieve for a death that’s needed for new life?

[stagesoftheundressed]

You’ve killed me

All of you

I’ve killed me

All of me

[stagesoftheundressed]

How can I do it?

How can I live after my soul has died?

[stagesoftheundressed]

How do you do it?

How do you feign death for life?
