I don't feel particularly proud of myself. But when I walk alone in the woods or lie in the meadows, all is well.

How tragic that your love breaks me into pieces, but still, it grows every day.

you said you were cold so I gave you my coat.

you said you were cold so i gave you my sweater.

you said you were cold so i gave you my shirt.

you said you were cold so i gave you my skin.

you said you were cold so i let you light me on fire.

At least you were finally warm.

i wish i was the kind of pretty

that made people do a double take when they saw me

i wish i was the kind of pretty

that boys would feel was so out of their league

that they’d tell their friends they were in love with

i wish i was the kind of pretty

where people would stop me in the halls

to ask if i was single

to ask for my number

i wish i was the kind of pretty

that someone would prom pose to

i wish i was his kind of pretty

-k.c.

You recommend me a song I'm not gonna listen to that, Not cause know I won't like it But cause I know I will.

And that's last thing I need rn, Another song that reminds me of you. Like there aren't 500 of them already, Or maybe the same number as I've ever listened to.

This line about how even the other gay people you find annoying or sell outs or who live their life in the exact opposite way you do are still part of the tribe was written in 1977 but should be plastered on the internet today

#words words words #it's from the faggots and their friends between revolutions #i don't agree with all the passages but i get where he was coming from

SMALL DOG SYNDROME

small dog you’re so funny when you snap small dog you’re so funny when you shake small dog you’re so bad when you bark small dog you never learned the rules

small dog lays flat on the floor and sighs and whines while it waits for you to come back from wherever you go all day small dog doesn’t know if you’re coming home small dog hides under the bed to puke does it quiet eats its shame before you ever smell it small dog’s bark is worse than its bite small dog you are so funny when you bite small dog it’s so funny when you’re mad so by all means pick it up throw it around lock it in a cage while you laugh small dog you are so funny when you cry

small dog can’t remember being a wolf can’t remember being big howling in harpstring harmony like a plucked and quivering note in a catacomb sleeping in a warm pile of bodies in a dry place that smells like family the taste of fresh hot blood and wet bone iron fire honey salt

small dog run free beneath the moon in your dreams

small dog is so happy you’re home!! small dog loves you!!!

life is too short

to live in your head

that’s something i tend to forget

but then you meet people

who make you recall

how it felt to have it all

and you rely less on the fantasies

and you enjoy your real life

you learn to live much more

in the present

and the false realities

become much less relevant
