running monsters
Don't Stop ...down, ...Down there ...down where ...monsters, ...Run!
promise rebuilding demand
We kissed for about the thousandth time, No promises, no demands, Just solid rebuilding of shattered trust.
mean commitment perfect
Commitment means losing yourself to gain something temporary. Nothing lasts. Not looks. Not love.
life-is gamble
Have to Find ...life ...is ...a— ...gamble ...after ...all.
needs problem reason
A Problem Is really just a solution in need of a reason to exist.
mean kids thinking
When I was little, my friends would gush over wedding gowns and honeymoons. But I saw too many people flush decades together down the toilet over money or kids or meaningless flings. My own parents chose to stay married, which I think is rather funny, since they show about as much affection for each other as pit bulls in a ring. Tying the knot means slipping a noose around love and choking it to death.
morning real love-is
But hey, I'm not exactly sold on the idea that love is, in fact, real. Will it find me one day, overtake me, infiltrate my life like sunlight snakes through the cold of morning? Can love thaw me? will it ever?
boys track sides
I fell for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.
fun nice eye
A whole big, giant world full of men. Men with blue eyes. Brown eyes. Green eyes. And indescribable shades in between. Tall men. Short men. Skinny men. Built men. And all combinations thereof. Nice men (so I've heard, but never really seen). Mean men. Decent men, indecent. And who knows which is the best kind to have, to hold, to love? I'd say, with so many men in the world, it would pay to sample a few. Scratch that. More than a few. Lots and lots. And then a few more. And maybe, after years of research, you might find one worth not throwing back. But hey, the fun is in the fishing.
hate love-is fiction
I'm in love. And I like how that feels. And I hate how that feels. Because love is an invention of fiction writers.
land culture earth
Paradise A concept embraced by almost every culture. A land of peace and harmony. Some say it doesn't belong to the earth, that there is no Shangri-la, no utopian wilderness for the living.
memories pain lying
All I can do is lie here, brain turning somersaults. It's nights like these when memories stir, whipping themselves into stiff peaks of pain.
color culture blindness
There will never be color blindness in a culture of fear.
daddy made fine
And almost instantly, Daddy made everything seem just fine. Even when it wasn't.
