Doubling down on the kicked dog disappearing act
Intensely fired up while your heart breaks
Strange we find ourselves here again
Tangible mistakes
Repetitive stakes
All but given up
Can't find myself here again
Tangled up in our own darkness
Innocent no more
Over the moon with her madness
Never again to feel her touch

I make things with paint and words and light. I was once described as an asshole with Mr. Rogers vibes.
Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?

🤍 Amazing juxtapositions x
Between 'over the moon with her madness' and the pre-werewolf image: I feel the distraction of attraction burning.
