The Moments That Define UsHis hand slips into mine. There is something beautiful about the way our finger thread together, and I wonder vaguely if we’ll need scissors to cut us apart. Then again, I’m thinking we’re not planning on letting go of each other any time soon.The Moments That Define Us
I turn to look at him, and his eyes are peering back at me, bright and full of courage, from under the edge of his big, black umbrella. I tighten my hold on the curved handle of my own, and offer him a smile; if he can look so hopeful and unafraid, I’m going to do my best to do the same.
It’s not even raining, bu
AshtrayThe ash from his cigarette was warm as he tapped it off onto the back of my hand, brushing grey across my white skin. I let it remain there because moving at all meant admitting that I was part of this scene, that I couldn't just be a spectator, just a stranger in the audience watching him.Ashtray
His lips pressed so genuinely, so perfectly around the cigarette, like that space at the corner of his mouth where it curved up in an almost-constant unintentional smirk was made specifically for it to fit there. He expelled the smoke with a hum that sounded a lot like defeat or maybe just disinterest, and turned his eyes on me, making it impo
Lose It. Find It.1. This was how life was supposed to be. I was never more sure of anything than I was of that fact. Now, as we stood at what felt like the edge of the world, I knew I'd never ask for anything ever again. This was all I could ever want.Lose It. Find It.

I saw zest, and soon, felt a whimsical glee Course from head-top to toenail, electric in me Bright-skins of lemons appeared in my head And brought forth (a tone of apathy dead) A story of passionate heroes who work To reconstruct order to a town, berserk. A smiling visage also enters my mind Of some tireless protester (t
Who Called? It has been four months and ten days, and I still can't believe these demons. I'm not religious or anything, like most of my family is, but I think I'm haunted. Haunted, that is, by the memory of him passing in front of me. I don't feel comfortable anymore. I feel sick, like I am about to black out. This poison inside is throbbing and dismantling me from the inside out. I am falling apart, and making every moment into a play, starring me and the faces people wear.

If I'm so wonderful then why am I so misunderstood?
Everybody has a reason for it except me
It's the little things in my pants we're all waiting for
I never really knew what that thing down there was used for
