“ ‘I think I wanted to be guilty,’ I said, and then the tears started to really fall. ‘I wanted to rot for something.’ ”
—Brookyln, Burning by Steve Brezenoff
I scratched you out of my skin
I pushed you out of my heart
You aren’t allowed in my head anymore
Yet you are here somewhere hidden
in between the spaces of my ribs and heart
making it so hard to breathe .
Death is not the option for me
and I can not go back to life
if i could taste the wonder on your lips could you perhaps taste the desperation on mine?
when you take your eyes off the horizon (waiting and waiting and waiting for something i could never give) do you see that i’m waiting just as well?
waiting for the waves that will crash and sweep you away but will only pull me under
waiting for the lines of ocean, earth, and sky to blur for you while the lines between us only grow clearer
waiting for the distant whistle of the curtains falling for us and for you to be bigger than i could ever possibly hold
if i could taste the wonder on your lips i could also feel that you’re just waiting to go
— you taste like wanderlust | wt.

“At the end of the day, I can’t blame anyone but myself. I expected you to love me when I was too scared to love you. I expected you to know I loved you even though I couldn’t form the words. I expected you to love me despite not being able to love myself. I never thought of the love you needed.”
— And that’s why I’ll never be the one for you.
The Address of the Past.
‘Where does time go once it’s dead? Where does the past reside?’
'It takes shelter in our feeble minds, haunting us unceasingly until we are ready to let it go.’
