For a sunrise or a sunset, you’re manic or you’re depressed. Will you ever feel ok?
For a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress. Did you really think she’d stay?
poppypod:
the way that you screamed
the way that you cried
the way that you wipe your eyes
and fall against my side
Now I know that I’m blind
And that you’re all I see
And yeah I know it’s not clever
But I just want you with me
I’ll tell you all my secrets
but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed forevermore

What’d you do when I was gone?”
I pretty much just hung around.
“Did you get any work done?”
I said, “No, I just hung around
I’ve got a lack of motivation, a lapse in ambition,
I sit and watch this fire burn and wish I could burn with it.
I’ve fallen by the wayside of pretentious young writers looking for inspiration in party-time liars.
I am a visitor here; I am not permanent.
