My fathers eyes are 55 years tired
and sometimes even a grown man
needs a break from the life that he
built using nothing but his own experienced
hands. I see the exhaustion in his face
after he has just worked 14 straight
hours in a row, and I wish there was
something that I could do for him
to put the weight that’s resting on
his shoulders on the top of mine.
But when I ask him if there is
anything that I can do to make his
mind more at ease with the
chaotic life that he created for himself,
he holds onto my hand and tells me
that there is nothing that I can do for him.
Because although his life, this life
that took him so long to maintain,
is hectic, he wouldn’t trade the memories
of watching his own creations grow
for anything. Not even for a moment
of solitude within the walls of his
55 year old restless mind.

You’re all such sweet peaches. I wish there was more that I could say so you would all know how much I love and appreciate you. But I am super sleepy and I have to get up early for the morning shift at the bakery and I’m already pushing the time limit here, so yeah. Goodnight precious peaches.
"Ever since I can remember,
I’ve always wanted things
that I knew I could never have.

I’ve always wanted things
that I knew I could never have.
Whether it be a $3 toy
at the drugstore down the street,
a pair of shoes I know
I’ll only ever wear once,
or someone who belonged
to someone who is not me,
I always yearned for
its presence. Up until
a few years ago, I’ve stopped
craving things that were
out of my reach, and
the attention of those
who never cared to
pay attention to me at all.
And I can tell you with
the truth supporting my meaning
that this is the happiest
I’ve ever been.
I think once we stop
chasing after things
that we know we’ll never
be able to hold and to call
our own, I think we start
to understand what it is
that we need, rather than
what it is that we desire.”

There is nothing beautiful
about betrayal,
and I cannot seem
to find justice within
the arms of a mistress.
If you are able to
ignite passion by mutating
the trust of another person,
than I am not able
to see any hint
of ambition inside of you.
I find comfort in the thoughtthat you are somewhereout there in the worldwaiting for meto find you.
I find comfort in the thought
that you are somewhere
out there in the world
waiting for me
to find you.
"Tonight, I will wrap my hands
around your body like I wrap
my mouth around a promise,
and I will..."
around your body like I wrap
my mouth around a promise,
and I will hold you until
you feel safe enough to return
home. This isn’t an apology,
and this isn’t a way to
get you to make love to me.
But this is a way to make
you understand that there are
people like us out there.
People who give away everything
and expect nothing
but love in return.
This is a way to show you
that these people really do
exist. A way to show you
that there is not just you and me
fighting this agonizing battle
that some call life.”

I am not crying
because you said
that you no longer
want me. I am crying
because I am
thinking of everything
that we once
built together,
and I am preparing
myself to watch you
destroy it all
right in-front
of my eyes.

I thought of you
for the first time
in a long time today.
And I hope that I
will never have to
put myself through
that kind of torture
ever again.
