maybe death will encapsulate me tonight & hold me in its ever-growing embrace,

and when it does decide to free me

from the shackles of my mind,

who am i deny,

the peace that would give?

[vampirmina]

my brain is a graveyard

full of buried memories of you

but gravediggers exist

and they bring the memories to light

as gravediggers do

[vampirmina]

at times, my brain lights up like a christmas tree. during others, it feels barren. empty. cold.

it closely resembles a used mattress. there are so many folds and bends. each one of them has shaped the mattress into what it is. each dent encompasses every downward spiral i’ve been through. every indentation and sense of demarcation reminds me of how far i’ve come.

but, in the end,

who really wants something that’s overused,

beaten up and bruised?

[vampirmina]

i can feel it trickle from my brain to my fingertips. the feeling washing over me and encapsulating me like a huge wave during high tide.

i can feel it surround me. my room in my brain that was once white & bright, switches to black & dark instantaneously.

i succumb to it. there is no way other than down for now, and i can’t see myself getting out.

the art of making someone feel seen and feel special IS the highest art
