Love grows in me like a tumor, a parasite bent on devouring its host. I'm developing my sense of humor till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth, till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.

08.02.2026 23:45 β π 1 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0Is this how you decided to repay me? Why, you must think that I abandoned you, in life, when I went off to war without you, is that it? You think I had a choice?

But wherever the truth may be β
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.
They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?
Yet, in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

I wish for a child. I play
with the ones at the party

I ainβt gonna try to win your heart this time. Iβve had space to think, and I think that Iβve grown a little wiser. Iβm looking for a new muse; you have only made me tired.
