Hey kid, sorry I killed your dad with a huge sword. The cycle of violence is super fucked up isn't it. Hopefully it can stop with you.

addicted to relationships where one person is a ghost but it's unclear who's haunting who

am i haunting you or are you haunted by me? did i call you or am i the one answering? do you know which one of us died that night?

here's hoping people never stop asking

having so much love in your heart is beautiful and amazing right up until you’re alone in your bedroom clutching at your chest and whimpering like a wounded dog

it's so crazy how everyone on earth was once someone's newborn baby. i'm going to go and walk on some train tracks

richard siken also just published two new poems—sidewalk and metonymy—and i recommend reading them in that order, the end of one seems to start the other. if we’re getting sequences out of mr siken this may be the end of me i fear

Jihyun Yun, from Some Are Always Hungry; “The Leaving Season”

i like the idea that the appearance of ghosts reflects the memories of the people who loved them because it has the potential to be both immensely tragic and very funny

i just think it's important to understand that love is not the antithesis of horror in fact it's often the catalyst

"but if it's horrifying then it's not really love it's corruption it's lust it's obsession" you are not only wrong but you are also boring. go away.

honestly if someone gave a fuck about my wellbeing when i was 16 i would be soooo much better at being a person now
