check your surroundings
they started showing silent movies again / and the moon’s been writing love songs with no one to hear them / tired astronauts with no home address / it’s time to check your surroundings / growing up backwards only works if you’re looking behind you / glance at your watch one more time before we […]
paris is burning

as a hopeless romantic, i feel like i should love valentine’s day
but what the hell, who invented this it’s too much pressure for the couples to get the other person something nice which by the way, makes zero sense to me nothing like a hallmark card to say all the things you couldn’t figure out yourself and normally i’d say it’s even worse for the single […]

i’ve been alive for 6372 days and i still talk to the moon when you aren’t listening
last monday i saw jupiter and saturn in the lone peak parking lot / they make good conversation / i told them about you / how it rained the last time we talked / how my heartbeat is fading now that we’re strangers / i’ve been alive for 6372 days but it doesn’t seem like […]
