now here's the sun/moon, it's alright

Come on, hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
Come on, hide your lovers
Underneath the covers

post self-destruction.

She wakes up, still very tired, on a sunny mid-afternoon fall. The bed feels lumpy and smells unfamiliar, the bedsheets are a deep blue. Squinting, she hits her head on the low roof as she gets up suddenly. Someone is breathing next to her, she feels a heartbeat reverberate through the mattress. A face, slightly hidden under the sheets, it is her best friend. 'I slept with my best friend?' her shock is too bewildered to voice itself. She closes her eyes and opens them again, and it is someone else, not her best friend. She is sad and relieved at the same time. 'Did I want to sleep with him? Did I want to wake up next to him? Maybe I was dreaming'. She dreamt of Gene Wilder for sure though, pretending she was Charlie and the chocolate factory was hers. She kept saying the lines in her head for the rest of the day:
'And so shines a good deed in a weary world.'
'Where is fancy bred? In the heart or in the head.'
'We are the music makers...and we are the dreamers of dreams.'


She stomps acorns as she smokes, a child and an adult at the same time.

if it wasn't for your maturity, none of this would've happened. if you weren't so wise beyond your years i would've been able to control myself.

'Run until your lungs are sore
Until you cannot feel it anymore'-

isn't this so sad?

As always
I'll assure you
It's the last time
That I'll leave you
Until next week
If not sooner
I'll at least wait
Till after dinner


answer: yes, it is.

we were sparkling.

There used to be a tree where we took our pretty things. We'd hook them by a thread, golden egg lipstick and feathers, pieces of glass, chandelier baubles, and empty bottles of wine and watch the light shine through.


I'm afraid to forget you.

Hira

Zahra

Hira

Zahra

hahahahhahaha

Hira

she was like, try it hira, life is so much better with sex in it

i promise you!

Zahra

ugh, so not true.

Hira

hahhaa haw

why not?

Zahra

sex unnecessarily complicates things.

it's like bono said: with or without you

once you have sex you're like 'shit i want this stuff ALL THE TIME'

Hira

so are you recommending global celibacy?

oh hahaha

well then

Zahra

kind of like having chocolate, but you don't want just a hershey's bar for the rest of your life

so you look around for different kinds, types, flavors, concoctions.

that's where the heartbreak starts.

so then you're like 'fuck man, life was so much better without chocolate'

Hira

... now thats an analogy

Zahra

ek second, copyright karne do.

Hira

:p:p

Zahra

hahahahah

To Whom It May Concern

could you show me dear,
something I've not seen?
something infinitely interesting.
