I long to fall in love with a man whose quiet nobility settles deep into my soul.

Patch knew well about the rot that set in just beneath, how you couldn't tell shit about someone from the way they looked or the job they did. To see it you had to gut them; you had to look deep inside for the poison in their veins.

~i turn you into art, that way I get to keep you with me.

the darkest, deepest corner of my mind- is where your shadow resides, at solace, it drifts in and out of my consciousness; perhaps it never leaves. it creeps in, mostly, in my solitude and then you and i- are alone again, together;

in my seclusion, i am most conscious of you-

what binds you to me? is there an invisible string i forgot to sever? why then, am I, helplessly unable to rid my spirit of yours?

tell me what it is, what detail have i overlooked? for i stand defeated in the pursuit of solving this complex mystery. something in me aches, yet i cannot point where exactly- you, my beloved, have become my heart's ailment.

do you think, perhaps, i have lost my wit's? do you curse me and my sheer perversity? do you agree i am just a sick woman, wallowing in her hysteria, feeding off her melancholic delusions? because I believe so.

perhaps my loneliness has reached it's final peak, i craft you in my mind, dress you in such a light that my wretched imaginations transcend all their confinements- you are my minds greatest illusion, and i drown in your luminescence.

only if you would just tell me, your heart is empty for me. only if you confess, the embers of your love for me have all died out. only then, all commotion in my heart will be silenced forever.

do not fret, i have enough words, to last a lifetime; there, we are immortal.

but right now, right here our love cuts eachother like barbed wire. -E.

He never spoke a word to me, And yet He called my name; He never gave a sign to me, And yet I knew and came.

"In millions of years, we will be gone. Not only we, but our planet as well, and everything that lives on it. Our music, our stories, our art, our science, our politics, our languages, our feelings, everything we’ve got. It will all cease to exist. There will be no one or nothing to remember us. Nobody to tell our story. There will be no proof that we’ve existed at all. We will be stardust again. " - Unknown
