Myself Includedoh, if I had secrets to spill, I would whisper them into your pockets and the seams of your clothes and you could keep them there for a short forever unknowing, until stitches come undone and the holes in your favorite shirt begin to whisper endlessly about love and how incredibly scared of it we've all become.Myself Included


yes, but not quite...(answers to all your questions.) I want so badly to cut open my heart and let all the contents fall on to the page and to watch, while everyone tries to sort through my grimy mess. I want them to find something profound and different, something they haven't thought of or haven't seen, and I want them to dance and laugh and cry, I want them to fucking cry because they hated themselves in the summer air and it was too hot and too sticky to think and too far to reach someone else and not enough to touch them.
