tangled web


I've taken to copying poems and love letters 
into my school notebooks...
Here's one by John Keats.
I think they might help get me through the day.
Love you

missed connections


I check these religiously.
I don't know why.
The only people that write missed connections
are hipsters lusting over chicks on the L
or creepy old guys in the upper east side.

swear it.

the killing moon

Under blue moon I saw you
426891645254b882d82e.jpg
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
4268160993f4fbd84ce3.jpg
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Up against your will
Through the thick and thin

He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me

Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels

The killing moon
Will come too soon

and as time goes by,
my feelings for you
only grow stronger

in search of my own paradise


Do you still play dress up?
Do you still play make believe?
Will you make believe with me?
Let's make believe that we're all 
in the middle of an abandoned wood.
And we'll all wear dresses that never get dirty,
and our hair will gleam when the sun shines
through the tree branches.
And we'll run, and jump, and whisper 
secrets into the flowers.
Because the flowers won't tell a soul.

This is where I want to be.
And I want to take you with me.
