Headaches spawn words

and just like that its back to old times. we hit the dance floor and our bodies move close together. her fingertips trace words on the back of my neck. the things she says and the way she moves all send the same message. things are, now, as they were ten years ago when nights like this were more common. it didn't matter that so much time had passed. didn't matter that we weren't kids anymore. it didn't even matter that we lived in different worlds now. things are as they always have been. feelings haven't faded. they haven't just disappeared. the difference is that now there's just no chance for us to actually act on the things we say. no matter what was said between us, what secret messages that only she and i knew, nothing would ever happen. nothing ever had. And that was somehow comforting. It made what we were doing ok. I woulnd't say the things I said to any stranger, lest I actually be taken seriously. And she wouldn't say those things to anyone but me. But she did, because I was safe. We were outlets for each other. A way to live another life, even if it was only for a few hours.

life became beautiful the day i met you.

there's just something about being another year older and not a bit wiser. I look around and while the walls have changed, what's inside hasn't.

a penny for your thoughts
a nickel for your kiss
a dime if you tell me that you love me
...
this is my rifle
this is my gun
this one's for fighting
this one's for fun
...
The world is a crazy place
filled with crazy people
doing crazy things.

I have rediscovered Tazo Tea. It's wonderful.
...
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
Every thorn has its rose
Its always darkest before the dawn.

my
rage
i
am
still
just
a
rat

cage

Sometimes I dream that I'm falling
or that I'm failing.
Sometimes I dream that I'm in Mexico
in a mariacci band.
I reach out to feed the wolves
as they nip away on my hand.
Chasing.
Chased.
Sometimes I dream like I'm falling
or that I'm failing
And I'm just waiting for this dream to end.
