forever

Do not judge me before you judge yourself distant memory
My company, whether mentally or physically; is unpredictably forever.
I love you not.
love consented rape to kiss my insecurities dealing with passed forevers.
From time to existence, my hearts clock has stopped ticking.

so forever, knock on my window while I'm sleeping;
whisper in my ear
tell me tomorrow isn't promised, and
tell me that I need to search for you again.
Appear to me in a dream, forever...
show me how many pages I'll rip out of my calender before we come a cross again
show me where to find you.
your company was comforting.
now when I sleep, I'm laying in a bed full of nails
I'm not happy waking up here,
I pluck embedded steel from my skin
every time I'm reminded of what could have been,
I smile away our poetry
like silly me, I send similes to the badlands of my mind.
The same place every past forever lingers
and like assembly lines,
attach forever to the end of all my thoughts
I want to damage my internal machinery
so that my thoughts come out broken but satisfyingly sane,
perfect and untainted by you.
I'm scared.

Because forever, you never stuck around long enough to become one with my sheets.
the smell of fresh poetry in the morning never sunk deep into the cotton woven,
Under covers and warmed by my art, but with the same sheets I'm covered and cold in my history
and the past has passed and faded away
forcing fetus memories into words telling you my insecurities.
I told you this would happen forever.
people could be different but if the situation doesn't change,
the outcome is stalemate; checkmate; sourmate; don't-speak-to-me-ex-soul-mate
forever,
I told you this would happen.

Follow me into your dreams
so that you can lead us both into existence
and there, you can hold me like a guitar
you can place your hands around me
put your head in between the corner of my neck and my body
your hands on my stomach, tickling my strings
making me sing forever is painful
from my neck, down to my toes, tickle pluck, wrong note
forever is painful
I need you... to painfully tune my love into keys of forever
so that you don't become a distant memory...

and after my rant,
I wake up sweaty... and I'm all alone again

parking tickets...

so I have been collecting parking tickets while parking illegally on campus in front of my apartment style housing. I know I need a sticker... but its really not on my priorities list with all of the things going on as far as money drains are concerned... mind me, I'm a little tipsy; this might be a tad graphic or hard to process.


Update 11:00am : After a text from Tavis telling me not to get myself into any more trouble and to take that set up down unless I want a boot on my car, I took it down. About 5 hours later I wake up to a knock on my door from Sean telling me that my car is getting towed... What in the f***? Outstanding tickets... So I paid them $70 to bring my car down. Now I owe over $200 dollars in parking tickets and it costs $175 to get a parking pass so I'm pretty much f***ed. Then within the next thirty minutes someone called me to do a photo shoot for free tomorrow... ... ...

pink eye

ew. I want to go out and do something... but I feel horrible.

I would take a picture of my eye and throat; but that would be way too graphic for you all. Instead I decided I would leave you with some pictures I developed last night.




and these right here are from my Holga...

so its been a while...

I started school, moved in on campus. I lost my job, I start another one tomorrow. My car failed once again, I'm in the process of getting it fixed. I'm broke. The V-Day performances went really well. I got into the second round at SlamCharlotte, big deal, at least to me at this point. I'm writing about little but I'm singing obnoxiously, you would probably think it sounds good.

I'm very sad to have to leave my kids and co-workers at the YWCA. Thats all that I need to say about that...

So I was watching BETJ at the Art House, YES they got cable now, and this video came on... Ayo - Down on my Knees - - I really like this girl... I just got her album, so I'll have an update on how I feel about her after listening to the cd.
