3:00 am of you.

3:07 AM

You want me to stay, I don't think that i can. It has come to the point where hearing your name spoken hurts, where seeing a picture of you makes me freeze. In horror? in terror? Well, i'm not sure anymore.

3:30 AM

My room's a mess, and i'm a mess, and i'm practically spilling my inconsistency onto the paper for you to read. Or for no one, because no on is going to find this. Maybe, i'll burn it , and maybe the wisps of smoke will float into your window across the street and spell you to sleep. Maybe.

3:47 AM

My hands are strained blue. The pen i'm using is leaky. But it's my favorite. It's the one you gave me six  years ago, at the fair. Said you got it just for me. I was very happy that day. I think you knew because you were too. We were always too influential, too close, too tight. I had wanted a best friend like you, but i didn't bargain for the pain. It's like cutting  a limb off. ( Why can't you want it too?)

Listen. Listen. Listen. We're not good for each other.


It's 3 minutes until 4:00 AM. Are you thinking about me?
Writing distracts me. Writing makes me tired. You make me tired too. So i write.

I looked through our photo book today.
It's the floral one. The one that you hated and claimed hideous back then. I agree now, but i don't mind the cover as much as the insides. The pictures are polaroids ( we obsessed with those ) and some have marker smears all over them. Your fingerprint. Mine.
Maybe even Amelin's from down the street. I miss that. Not us, but that. (Those days.)

I want to cry (i was going to say die die but i think i  cherish life too much, (that bastard)

Hey, can you come outside with me?
The stars are bright tonight. The moon's only a crescent, but you've always loved it that way. Come. I miss you.

I'm sorry. 
I can't. (and don't)
love you
all the time.

You're too smart for me . I don't know what to do with the stars in your eyes and sometimes your hands move too quickly for me to catch up and we dance a vicious dance, a waltz full of fury and i know it's not you, it's me, and i'm sorry, sorry,sorry. i'm terribly sorry. In my dreams, i'm someone else. Someone who can make you smile with my clever conversation, someone who can read your quirks of your eyebrows, and the way your lips shift slightly in a different way when you mean  to be kind or when you mean to be cruel and lately i can't tell which end of the spectrum i'm on. Please don't tell me you love me, your embrace is a cage to me. I'm awkward , tell me where my hands should go, and is it okay if i play with your hair?  tell me how to finesse the lock on your heart, i mean, you say that i already have the key but i don't, where is it? what is it? tell me : Are you getting sick of me?

Come home.

2:34 AM My first entry in 2018, yikes 2/16 , because it's my special day! Do you know what you're saying? If yes, tell me how you do it. What are the right words and when is the right time to use them? Do you know there are consequences for when we make mistakes? I'm afraid of artists. I don't see how they draw with purpose and paint it with purpose and do it all with such confidence. I can't draw a fucking circle without erasing the whole fucking thing at least ten times. What goes on in your head? How do you see me? In lines and shapes and colors? I think of people like  collections of photographs. Colors i associate with the stories they tell to me. Places i'd like to visit with them. The essence of the songs we listen to, and the weather around the time that i like them best. How does your brain work? Cut it open and show me. Talk to me. I like these kind of things . Give me your theories and ideas and tell me about your worldview. I want ...
