i'm always arriving when you say farewell

[❀ @closeitquietly]

i wanna be emaciated
i wanna hear one song without thinking of you
i wish i was on a spaceship
just me and my dog and an impossible view

[❀ @closeitquietly]

the mountains around my eyes set on
fire before i could even swallow my
own spit

coming home is terrible
whether the dogs lick your face or not;
coming home is terribly lonely,

lying on the sofa with my eyes closed, i didn’t want to see it this way, everything eating everything in the end.

and then you want the outside in
you spin me all around
and then you ask me not to spin
you say you want to be alone
and you want children
you want to be with me
you want to be with him

please stick close to my side
please help me down
stay close to my right and let me be
pathetic in your arms
stick close to my side
i really fucked myself
please look into my eyes and let me
think of something else

louise never heard about puppy love

when i die, i will come in fast and low.
i will stick the landing. there will be no confusion.
the dead will make room for me.

”if you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good-looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?”

“the meaning it goes away sometimes
i know all the words but they don't seem to rhyme
sometimes all i can do is lie,”
she says as the water pours from her eyes

[❀ @closeitquietly]

it all makes sense now, thanks so much!
goodbye forever
what the fuck?

“like any unloved thing, i don't know if i'm real when i'm not being touched.”

i wanted to be your woman
i wanted to be your man
i wanted to be the one that you could understand
