how much is almost? i guess it isn't enough to get me through this life. these tears suffocate me. my dreams. should i extinguish them altogether? maybe then they won't expose the claustrophobia of my mind. you told me forever was the answer. "how long will you love me" was the stupidest question that ever spilled from my lips. cuz now your love is a teardrop on a rose. soon to fall on the morning's trampled grass. by noon you'll be dried up by the vicious summer sun. never to be seen again. i almost looked at you today. but then the emptiness in your eyes made me reach for my pills. the little happy pills fill me up inside the same way you used to. but you know what, they're the ones that'll be with me forever. they'll follow my soul after death captures me. death doesn't scare me anymore. see, i can be positive. death is the mirror, always laughing. blurred ink from blurred tears from blurred thoughts. and he's dead but he's not laughing. he's just waiting for me. waiting. cuz we're going to be the sun's paintbrush. we'll help her create that glorious sunrise across a dimmed sky. together.Birth sign: Gemini
