It was easier

to just destroy it all

than it was to admit

that she had never wanted

any part of it.

“oh i love it and i hate it at the same time,

you and i drink the poison from the same vine

oh i love it and i hate it at the same time,

hiding all of our sins from the daylight

from the daylight, running from the daylight”

- daylight, david kushner

i don't want to get to the point where everything piles up in my chest and it all just bursts one day—leaving me cracked open and unalive.

it never seemed so much like letting go as cutting out a piece of my heart. when I say I miss your voice, I miss the gentle waves lilting against the shoreline, knowing that this comes from the deepest depths and is shaped by the the pull of the smiling moon.. what I mean is that your voice is always with me even when I can’t hear it. I miss places I only went to with my heart, memories unscathed through polaroid conversations. we break, but we still love. maybe we love the sky because it’s always there. I want to hold you through this hell so your heart will beat next to mine, until nothing is left except two heartbeats.

I wish I could hold tight in my hands the moments I’m not allowed to keep.

[wordsofthelost]

there is a void consuming me alive pulling me in crushing my will to survive there is a voice inside me a thousands whispers guiding telling me to leave we are the suns and moon and every grain of sand is in my palm and every star is in my mind when i leave i'll leave nothing behind

[wordsofthelost]

and what a tragic thing it is, to have so much love to give but never any to keep

Pain Remains lyrics that altered my brain chemistry:

[wordsofthelost]

Atlas

in the late hours of the night, time stops. it hangs in the air, holding all of the day's sorrows in its hands. it is atlas, bearing the weight of the world.

sound stops too. everything becomes deafened until all i can hear is the telltale beat of the drum that reminds me that i am still alive. i hold my breath in fear of disturbing the stillness.

it is as though i am caught between worlds. for in these hours, i become completely transparent. i am a ghost, half-alive, but barely dead. i exist merely to pass by others, never permitted to stay for long.

i long to feel. you came along and hollowed out my soul, leaving nothing behind but an empty shell. all i know is sorrow. he is an ever-present beast, lurking in the shadows.

will i escape this torment? or will i be doomed to bear the weight of my sorrows, disintegrating beneath their burden.

tonight is gonna be the loneliest

you’ll be the saddest part of me

a part of me that will never be mine

it’s obvious

tonight is gonna be the loneliest

you’re still the oxygen i breathe

i see your face when i close my eyes

it’s torturous

tonight is gonna be the loneliest

~ the loneliest, måneskin
