I carry around a vintage mirror in a purse I thrifted...It isnt to check my makeup in.
A lot of the men who have eyes for me have teeth too,
the kind that only like to talk to you when they feel like their life lacks excitement I love to press dead roses in old bibles.
Don't get me wrong romance seems like such a treat but what happens when we both go off our meds?
There's nothing hallmark about the holes in the walls and the fact that we fell in love high as fuck naming stars ontop of a station wagon.

Life is a silent illusion
Life is a silent illusion. When I wake up, in the gap of time, I think of those past events that seem far away again. Perhaps everyone has a city in their heart, where the undead are buried. There are their own stories, their own scenery, far or near, happy or sad, and then choose to forget or bury.

New peace
This feels great, never knew what was missing until compromise grounded foundation. Each day becomes fulfilling when loving foes relate in ways that only promote resilience. Justifying the feelings that everyone hopes won't fade can make any positive souls anxious. The enjoyment of chance makes these moments seem everlasting simply because our focus is stolen by each other. Unforgiving the mistakes we made that involved anyone outside of us, but blessed by the opportunity of rewriting our history.
