Habit, actually

Category: Idea ore | 7 Comments

I would have said..
I could get really used to you
…except I find I already have.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Habits are like huge foam pillows
Comforting, cuddly, warm
Suffocating and restrictive as well
And yeah, they aren’t easy to break. All they do is bounce right back on you.
Your only hope is to tear through even if some of the residue sticks to [...]

Forgiveness, actually

Category: Idea ore, Reflections | 6 Comments

Yes, there’s more.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Do banished memories go to hell? I hope not, ‘cos I’ll only end up meeting them there again. Besides they deserve better, so much better than the  darkness in my mind.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
A friend who hurts you

….is the one that deserves forgiveness the least.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
If intimacy is what [...]

Closure, actually

The only part that hurts is the realisation that they once used to.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
When you cannot remember what you were thinking [...]

Then when we find it,
we run away to practise living without it.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Do you ever have a moment when you realise that someone genuinely cares for you
And you wonder, [...]

Pain, actually

Category: Reflections | 6 Comments

Some people make you come to life
It’s like they make you feel so much more
And they do it by hurting you
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Masochism isn’t that abnormal after all
Everyone picks their scabs and healing bruises when they are kids
Some people just carry that behaviour into their emotions as well
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
And then we discover gangrene and surgery
So we cut out [...]
