Description
The last embers of daylightHave long since withered to ash;
They left black burns on the carpet, to remind us that they once existed,
And that maybe they still do,
And we've just conditioned ourselves to be blind.
I hate those looks you give me
When I think I've said something poetic
But all I've done is string up pretty cliches--
And your smug half-smiles when you think I don't know I'm doing it.
You don't say anything
Because you don't want a fight,
And you think your barriers are still effective.
You want to believe you can keep secrets from me,
And maybe you stay because you know you can't.

Thank you! I was looking through notebooks from freshman year, and I found the beginning of a poem and it pissed me off. Inspiration! Ha ha

Somtimes it's funny, sometimes just sad. I was reading through old journals the other day, and I was going to kill myself, but the knife kept shaking cause I was laughing too damn hard.

Thanks! I'm gonna try to get back into the swing of things. There are 108 deviations in my inbox thingy, and I haven't gotten to a single one yet. Moving and adjusting and all. So don't be offended if I haven't commented

I'll be trying! My uncle died on Saturday. We were only here for a month and a half. Sorry to just blurt. My head's kind of convaluted.

Wow, Jesus Christ! He was really ready to die! Well i'm sorry if this offends you or anything but i find it fascinating.

No, it doesn't. My mom thinks it was divine intervention, which is pretty much the same thing. I'm still kind of whacked out. Not all there. But I know what you mean--the timing is really hard to ignore.

Yeah i think it's an amazing story. Worth telling

I know. I want to write something. But my brain's kind of fried. I feel ditzy and disconnected and weird. It'll pass, but for right now, I think I'm a bit of an airhead, you know?
Oh, be proud of me, I was brave for the first time in my life. I asked someone out. He's a dumbass though. Glad I found out before... I gave a shit

And when are you getting back to normal activity?
Yay you asked a dude out! Takes some ovaries

Normal on deviantart? God, I don't know. I haven't done any art lately. I gotta tackle all those deviations someday though.
I know, I was so proud. Turns out he's an idiot. He said yes, called me, asked if I wanted to watch a movie or soemthing on Tuesday, then never called, and NOW he hides, whenever I go into the gas station. The first time he camped out in the bathroom, the second, he snuck in behind me and hid behind a rack of cigarettes. Pretty funny/pathetic, huh? Honestly, he's probably just like my last boyfriend, and I'm way far away from being lonely enough to go there a second time. But I'm still brave, nyeh.

Wy the hell's he hiding? What a dickhole!

God, I know! He's a certified urethra. It's not like some high maintenence psycho who's going to storm into his workplace and start screaming at him for not calling. I was fully prepared to be the cool patient chick, not make a fuss at all, continue things as normal. But he's not worth it. There are other gas stations

Trying to sound real interesting and funny while looking at her boobs is a dead give away. No matter how cool the guy is, if he likes a girl, he's gonna act an idiot. Pretty girls make men idiots and there's no getting around it (and girls should consider it sweet cause it damn well is!). Of course some are already idiots before they even see the girl, those you gotta look out for.

Well he kinda did that. Stare at my boobs I mean. And say "You look pretty", "I like your hair", "Your makeup's nice", blah blah etcetera. And you know... I thought that was him hitting on me. So I asked him out, then nothing. Maybe Texas guys don't much care for girls being forward. Oh well, I'm pretty sure he was an idiot long before I moved here, so no hope lost.

Did he have a thick accent?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. That's why I thought it was safe.

Well, you know...with men it's never really evident when things aren't safe.

Yeah, that seems accurate
