apple blossomed trees / roots with the birds
Anybody can love you when it is easy,
when they love the very idea of you
that they have cultivated to entertain
them, but can you love me when the reality
is different from that which you expect?
Can you love me even when I am a mess
or is your love incapable of expanding
beyond the shallowness of the depths
in which you choose to cautiously wade?
Can you only love me in the colors
that you have painted with the brush of
your own eyes that hides the truth of
this flesh because I am not the heaven
you have made of me, but the cosmic dust
of the reality of this earth and the breath of
the hope of its last prayer?
- J.Wool, Can You Love Me Then, Breaths of the Soul
Dekho. Sab moh maya hai. So jao. Sleep is the only truth.

just want to thank every single one of you for being here. thank you for existing, for never giving up, for trying your best every day even when some days "our best" isn't much. you have more strength than you realize. everything you thought could destroy you until now, never did. you overcame every obstacle. every feeling of hopelessness. every time you thought the pain wouldn't end, it did. so, thank you for being here. you matter. thank you.

yes girl you are so [if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more] [hands are unbearably beautiful] [i'll take care of you it's rotten work not to me not if it's you] [if you are intolerable let me be the one to tolerate you] [i could recognise him by touch alone] [i love you i want us both to eat well] [on purpose i love you on purpose] [whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same] [i am half agony half hope] [you have bewitched me body and soul and i love love love you] [he is half of my soul as the poets say] [i'm sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for but i'm so lonely] [i love you most ardently] [let me stay tender hearted despite despite despite] [someone has to leave first this is a very old story there is no other version of this story] [mostly i want to be kind] [tell me how all this and love too will ruin us] [you said i killed you haunt me then] [someone somewhere can you understand me a little love me a little] [i will love you as misfortune loves orphans as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong] [sorry about the blood in your mouth i wish it was mine] [who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me] can we kiss now
