Rock Steady...

... in my jammies. Quiet ache taking up mad space in my funk

lonely

It's hard to admit

alone
with the sun out like it has not been in days

beautiful blaze of light
hands trembling and talking to myself

natalie merchant
sarah mclachlan

brood notes of crazy coined spring
and you betrayed me

what the fuck is the grand obsession with betrayal?
tease me

complete
rug pulled from under feet and I am falling again
falling for fluent colors

turning away from solid
bleed me

red and purple pills
swallow me

sinful
How I want always the thing I least am able to own

I want to own myself
the rhythm of me is disturbed

writing
writing
and the details are hidden from all I want to say

label me
weak

fool
friend of the fickle

my fingers do not wrap themselves
willing around what you refuse to tell me

tell me

what does looking for a director have to do with my cunt aching like
love used to live there

a long time ago
tragic

nothing tragic about the way I feel for you
she asserts

we are not tragic
and I am blanketed in tragedy

comic figure
bound by a belief in the dramatic
drunk on the memory of what I smell

in your purple pants
left folded on my couch

I don't want to fall in love
anymore

love is the knife used most effectivly to gut hope

hope me a mountain
faith
like a mustard seed

move that fucking mountain out my way
need to travel

for leisure
for the smart pleasure of seeing me

rumbling along
in countries I have not learned to be sad in yet

How I hate the recognizable common of lone silhouette
standing
looking out at the passing trees

you are among the wide branch of trees
outside my window of reach

don't jump girl
you do not leap feline into things not understood
yet
wait for the fall

Be still
stand in love
and pay attention

words of some woman
wanting me to be safe when I am in my own hands

you are not frail
she accuses

you will not break
because of anything you feel

what might kill you
is what you do not let wash over the agony of you

I am looking for a director

know anyone?

call 212 253 7017

the show goes up in August

if I can pull that shit off

kiss the wind under the skies you look up on tonight,

grrrl staceyann.
your aura still lingers in the ever so scatteredly clouded city of stockholm. the stormy energy that came with you has not yet left. and i don't think i am alone in this.
your journal, how ever slow it may go, refills the boarders of the foot marks left behind. so, just a silent holler across the ocean - you are still in our hearts!
another 'thank you' for the generosity with which you shared part of your soul would be superfluous.
instead, stay strong. the show will go on! -fabulously too. and hey, get some chill time, ok. with peace n' luv from here!

i broke up with my girlfried today, the hottest day in chicago, yet. and she said i've ripped out her guts and i thinks she wants me to find the words to make her stay and her thirty four years are twelve years that i cannot hand over to demand and dictates and depression that snatches what little i have left. and when, for her daughters stake, she finds a place to live, she'll know for certain i mean what i say. and now she has just asked if i only lay next to her. (said sexy like her sexy over my cell phone) and i'll oblige because i know i've hurt her and i so love how she feels and i'll say good bye because her bags her much too much for me.
stay up stacey....

Stacey be encouraged. You are leading the way. Which I know may seem scary. You are living which is wonderful and terribly awesome. I am wondering when you will be around my way. (philly metro)

"falling for fluent colors

SOUNDS SUICIDAL.

In times that you speak to yourself, its probably me that hears.

I could almost swear

On that plot of land you'd purchase
Only if depression was enough foreign currency
to reach heaven.

I'm always going to love you.
