My longing burns within me

Buried deep within my lungs

Emanating from the very corners

Of my weary wrinkled heart

But how long can I withstand

All this building pressure

Love cries to seep and to pour

From all my orifices

I suffocate under its weight

I am grasping as I drown

I must expel this cursed love

Of which I can no longer stand

Take it from me and take it all

And just leave me empty once more, Until I begin to seep again

Laurence Anyways: 4.5/5 stars

If your brain rot won’t allow you to pay attention to an almost 3 hour movie I don’t blame you (me too), but it couldn’t be more rewarding to watch a character end a film as a completely different person than when it started; the person they wanted to be the entire time. Incredibly dope lesson in how to keep finding yourself even when it’s non-linear & how to keep loving others who are doing the same (and how to pull off blue eyeshadow).

you speak of you speak of wide sprawling meadows, wide sprawling meadows, catacomb fields catacomb fields catching whispers on pink tongue, catching whispers on pink tongue, wildflower kisses to my cheek wildflower kisses to my cheek then big city slicker, sly then big city slicker, sly you show up after bedtime you show up after bedtime tell me stories in the dark. tell me stories in the dark. you elude misconceptions you elude misconceptions lie to my face lie to my face skipping stones on broken bridges skipping stones on broken bridges tail between your legs tail between your legs embellished fiction, embellished fiction, you sow scarlet in my mind you sow scarlet in my mind showing me the dangers showing me the dangers of guns and pointy teeth. of guns and pointy teeth.

you learn to think on your feet you learn to think on your feet for something greater for something greater than yourself, than yourself, play pretend in moonshine forests play pretend in moonshine forests with the language with the language of the wild. of the wild.

I think I see you I think I see you chasing clouds chasing clouds then in a glance then in a glance you disappear. you disappear.
