and he swaddles like a baby, combing our bodies together, fingers interlocked until we fit like a glove and still I’m lonely.
and as these minutes turn to years it’s all bubbling and clawing and lost and another tearful goodbye under my belt, begging for just one more minute of my exhaustion for it to all to make sense.
and i stood just as alone with as without, down by ellecott reading poetry and dead peoples diaries and playing games about flesh until i hear the birds call me. what is my becoming.

realtalk but when i see dudes on steam or ppl on tumblr talking about how disco elysium made them feel pathetic and uncomfortable i just. i don’t know. i cannot relate to that at all. disco elysium is about an alcoholic amnesiac poet in love with a dying city who loves him back. if i had never been an alcoholic, if i had never been suicidally depressed, maybe i would think the world of disco elysium is a bleak one. but when you know what it’s like to go through that darkness and come out of it again? to fall back in love with a world that almost destroyed you? disco elysium is the most hopeful story imaginable. it sees the world for what it is and holds nothing back, none of the horror, none of the wonder, none of the love…
something about art comforting the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable i dunno

being born lonely is so fucking suffocating bc you feel like no matter what you do or who you’re with deep down you’re just not palatable to other people. something about you is so inherently other and nothing can ever dispel that. and it haunts you w every social situation you walk into but you just have to be okay w it for the rest of your life

What am I left with when it all just eats me alive
Will you be there, brightest light in the dark
Soft arms and dark hair call it weakness call it hatred call it anything
Loneliness so big nothing could possibly take its place

disco elysium grabbing me by the shoulders: "listen, everything is going to end and it's inevitable so do something beautiful while you still have the time. look at the men playing petanque in the bomb crater, look at the guy composing poetry as he imagines being with his wife and kids. there's a woman making dice in the chimney of an old commercial area. those kids are making music inside of a church. paint a wall, sing karaoke, play board games. everything is going to end but in the meantime something beautiful is going to happen. and maybe even the giant bug is real in the end."

ugly putrid animal
this body was never meant for me
grown slop and blackened arteries
split limbs and brazened cacophony
disgust and ruin I need,
a cigarette

my greatest friends lost to malice
cold and hungry and thin housing when your moms eyes shivered blank and asked if you’ll please stay a girl
we smoke and writhe, ethereal
as someone else touches me hollow, she makes bile taste familiar, I won’t know until years later
~
clawing ripping I miss what we all used to be
fading helpless as this world withers us away
holding, gripping, sobbing into carved up arms and legs and stomach fat “I love you more than anything”
kisses by the river before you depart
~
you and I lay in hospital beds months years countries apart, connected, unsure, bloody, battered
I see us 5 years from now
when the acid finally tears through esophagus
our flesh has always been poisonous
no one knows me at your funeral
but I know you,
I know you.

And in the morning I’ll let the cold take me again
Frigid burns up knobby fingers
The chill of beauty thumps dull through my arteries
Stinging warmth blossoms in the cold dark
Victimhood is just so familiar

And I wished I was a woodland creature
Profound unlabelled hell
Wagging black tongues thin wet hair caked in wasting and away with my disillusion

thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

"Intellectual, imaginative, romantic, emotional. This is what gives sex its surprising textures, its subtle transformations, its aphrodisiac elements. Sex loses all its power and magic when it becomes explicit, mechanical, overdone, when it becomes a mechanistic obsession. It becomes a bore. You are shrinking your world of sensations. You are withering it, starving it, draining its blood. If you nourished your sexual life with all the excitements and adventures which love injects into sensuality, you would be the most potent human being in the world. The source of sexual power is curiosity, passion. You are watching its little flame die of asphyxiation. Sex does not thrive on monotony. Sex must be mixed with tears, laughter, words, promises, scenes, jealousy, envy, all of the spices of fear, foreign travel, new faces, novels, stories, dreams, fantasies, music, dancing, opium, wine."
— Anaïs Nin, The Diary Of Anais Nin
