I’ve been writing new storylines again. Starring the form of a friend. Set in a city-scape with someone who can take a stand. I’ve been writing new storylines again. Starring the form of an alternate friend and set in a city-scape with someone who can take a stand, meet reasonable demands. I’ve been practicing scenarios where I’m in control of where my feet go, how hard my heart will follow. There are scenes with bold colors and sharp lines. All I need is the right kind of time to pour unnecessary bottles down the drain. To say the words that I’ve been reciting. I wanna change everything thing in this place. Ill start with how I write my A’s.
I’ve been practicing everything that you had been despising and wearing thin my welcome. They’ll all say it isn’t fair the way that she just disappeared and refuses to come to the house on the street where we grew up. And the room where I clearly fell in love now I’ve got stacks of cards that I’ll never send. A slew of words I’m pretty sure I think I meant. Reminders in every space I swear I’m changing how I write my A’s. If it takes four days to make it through one page then I will wait. But if, in the end you still don’t understand then I’m done trying to explain.
