When I read books in my bedroom,
the voices in those pages make the sound of running water.
I fall asleep with rivers of ink on my chest.
I do not want to get a formspring.
But I probably will eventually.

“Songs are as sad as the listener.”
– Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Bon Iver cover.
The Things That Hate Us - Atmosphere
“I’m not a gentleman, I’m a method man.”
– Method Man
“We’re soft blowing on coffee when it’s too hot, it does not have to...”
– Eric Shaw

“I want everything with you”
At the time, I squirmed uncomfortably on my living room couch
