feel this; never have i ever explained the perfect circles of skin, talking to the rise of this memory. and they had the center of interest, i flooded my face slowly. i thought i felt your scars.
those fingers untouched, and arms i tasted, your eyes i thought i could see through, and tell myself that i don't need the feelings, you and me, we are just starting. she is on me, she does not bother with me. but oh, but oh, does she love, does she have, so much? on her back is the word, she holds so far front of her.
i am high, and whenever i am i know what my body is trying to tell me. my lip is the only thing i feel, i want you, god, may 30. i want to straddle you, i want to be high and i want to fucking do it. i will MELT into you. i am so fucking ready for it.
this climax. god SUMMER, i'm here, SO here, now. SO here now.
WHAT, CAN, I, DO? i'm disconnecting. i'm there. i feel everything in that touch. i feel anything, in the words. |

imagine if i was a dude hittin' cats from the back with no strings attached, yea, picture that
i hear her footsteps.
7:52AM back to reality of head spins and candied pills. i think i like it, this new hold i got. we glow. and i have been doing a little more each hour.
phone's ringing, again. the ink all over my neck.
moral of the story: no one ever gave a shit about this. so i refuse. i just have so many webs. spinning 'round, got you. |

today i was asked if one of my options was lost, i really worked today to clear the walls rightly, justly. if i'm going to do this i won't do it half assed. i won't have a chance to revert.
but anyway, i was asked if one of my options was gone, i made a phone call and she didn't pick up. she called back five minutes later, and like usual we had a sexually charged, tense conversation. i asked her one of those questions. the same kind she asked me i can't remember when, and when i told her the answer her eyes widened with curiosity and surprise.
i know what clicked in her mind that day. and though she couldn't see my face, she knew what clicked in mine too.
i got nervous.
(i don't know what it is, really)
-- and i can have conversations over and over at five in the morning every night about how sad i might be... but am i really sinking? or watching another part of me sink?
i'm turning my head on this. sorry. |

i just want to rant a little bit.
i put up with so much shit and i am always the fucking bad guy.
even though: - i'm always backed into corners where it's either a. i get to be with her but i have rules and i have to be considerate about *That Other Person* OR b. i'm ruining the moment and i need to "get over it." - i'm blind sighted with most decisions made behind my back - i am never really the one to make any true decision - it always has to be the most convenient thing for her - i can't ever make rules - half the time i am not treated like a girlfriend *correction, LOVER - words, words, fucking words, all fucking day but rarely any action... any proof - "vent to me" and as soon as i do i get a nasty bark back - she tells me she loves me but is completely dating someone else - i force myself to forget about everything up there that makes me angry just to have a half hour with her so that i won't have regrets about it.
great. and this all, this whole fucking list, started with me being resentful about not being able to have A KISS. honestly, i would give up having fucking sex for a kiss. a goddamned kiss. and now i'm crying.

[Nov. 24th, 2008 and 06:49 am] |
you were my disguise. really, what it is, somewhere in me i have cravings for stability. nature always evens itself out eventually, the nature of this huge mistake i've made evening itself out.
karmically, i know exactly what this means. it's a kind of red and black, a magma type feeling. i would let it seep on out, scorching my muscles and blistering my skin, callusing my character.
i wonder if she noticed it. i'm afraid you didn't understand but you always try to emotionally kill the air.
and then it's like a set path, really. i'm going to get uglier as the days go on and that's all. sure, i have hope, and sure i am probably just fucking stupid.
my mother told me, on the phone, to just drop it and move on, but be "professional." and all i really got out of that was that i am embarrassed to try and explain us (us? what are we?) to even her. my own mother.
and when you come by i'm not there. you were next to my bed in a chair, and wanted to leave a mark on my walls (frankly i just wanted you to leave). so i'll know you were there, trying to catch my soul, extract my thoughts from my body, something you could never fish out of me (how ironic that is). and then you realized my window sill, and put everything else in the trash.
amanda casale, official idiot of the year. olympiad of naivety. a dimwitted blockhead. blind, and fooled.

and all of those, which didn't stop, turned out to haunt my worst nightmares and attempt to take over in the guise of comfort. all of those which stopped with me, i could have kept going.
and that scares me, it's not really that i could have it's that i probably needed to.
and that which is my heart, i could have been seeing such different away messages such different concerns, and my life will swirl around these.
even still, i feel my arm around a waist, walking fast down court street with a tearful girl. and now look at me, i feel like i don't know what i want. (they say we just know what we are supposed to want.)

there's something about this bed that makes my eyes water and my guts kind of shrink up. i SHOULD be tired right now, it's late and my bed time never really gets much later than 11.
hm.
what a sad machine.
lights - at midnight --- i don't know much about art shows, or museums, or artists in general, but i do know that when you want to have an exhibition, you're judged if you don't have a specific theme. so you can't just throw together your cumulative lifetime supply of whatever you've painted or shot or pasted together that once made you feel something or relay something. using your hands to maybe show someone, maybe having someone watch and exhibit themselves. and no one really understands that everyone has a theme inside, really. it goes deeper than the symbols on a canvas, i'm sorry.
(there's so much time) so i'm thinking. and i do have a theme. i have to. someone told me something yesterday, and it's been reverberating through my soul, beaming through my thoughts. whether that will continue and rattle my future or just take me under (take me under...) i don't care, but it sent me through all sorts of high. (i will wait for you) my theme... my controlling idea. it's always been this way. there's always been something wrong because it wasn't that way. and when it is, i'll sit there secretly knowing it. like a judge with a quizzical face making suggestions as to how "experienced" this artist is and parades around masquerading the knowledge that this artist isn't only an artist with a prejudice superego... i hate to say, that me at a desk frantically checking my phone and never turning my head you know, even when i could have exploded, it was there. and when i saw it, i knew. and i felt something i didn't even see or could ever understand.

this morning i woke up and knew. i felt it in the bones that arouse me, stimulate my mind and wake me. this morning, i saw things between my eyes and eyelids. i met people with different smiles, and people who know they've been confused and tired.
i call myself a social drunk. and i went to a party last night, it wasn't a frat party but i could tell you what kind of party it was, if you'd ask. and i knew who i was, standing there, smirking. not saying a word to anyone. listening to the music in my mind.
and all the souls i've touched since i've been here have been horribly inadequate and i've been distracted. so last night, drunkenly distracted, pulling around with the music and the fact that a love has my head. i reigned the party, and knew it. and paid no mind.
i have maps in my head sometimes, without lines or direction really. and when i have conversations i bring out the areas of it. i know which way is north and which way is south, i could point a finger and literally show you. but we tend to forget those. the same fingers i use to make circles of density for it, and the same fingers i use to explain the dark circles around my eyes finally evaporating into the dusk, into the dark gaseous atmosphere of red waves taking over this place. my fault.
the other night, i introduced myself as, "amanda casale: the best thing to ever happen to you." and of course, i wouldn't mean it, but when you come across like that, it's what comes to you and now i have more people and the integrity that can kill the strongest animals.
i walked to newton alone today. and i'm walking to brunch alone today.

| [ | heart |
| | copeland - should you return | ] | never feel good or bad only strange and unprepared
i think i set myself up for it, the dozens of nights twitching in chill and freedom watching the night roll into a hill. the dark trace of solitude, i swore the reasons i had, to pick and choose, and love, had nothing to do with it.
and for once they did not, yet kept my head above a water so deep. when in fact, i needed to drown to palm myself back to life. of course she wouldn't know that. or how that is. the funny things, that trains mean, the sound of the train as i am cross-legged in a friend's driveway. "that one."
and i can never break myself. when it happens, the shatter is heard but the time stops, and shakes the bones so hard, until a numbing cold takes over. i sat the same way in the shower, with the scorching water ripping apart my skin and screaming at me. just a few minutes ago. when we want to be happy we can't say much anymore.
so i'm here, now, waiting, like my whole life waiting. and she says, "but whatever," with a smile. and my future - the hope i had and the strength i forced through miles of running, sweat of force, lovely pain, sharp and consistent pangs of restless stabs - the light melted before the goosebumps on my arm, cleverly hidden.
of course i wouldn't look her in the eye. and tenses will change, and motives will reshape, the scars, there for the world to question. when does it get to the point where a lie takes a life? where a lie gets granted a heart, a brain, and the nerve. the lie grows arms and legs, and rushes through the ruck, plows into my life and takes my heart to run with it.
i carried my head up, my eyes soullessly following, and saw my face, eyes lifeless as ever, and a face just fit for the enthusiastic exhaustion taking place in just a few hours.
would anyone like to know the truth? or is that absolutely out of the question. i have had conversations blasting my mind out of its place, to confess to these new, alien strangers how my heart is not heard, and how my hands shake with indifference to a hill. I Can't Believe. but i can, of course. we always say it but we can always believe it.
and on that night, they took my clothes, left with them forever. and on that night i sat staring at the lights,
remember that one night, with my best friend by my side, as my pupils linked themselves with the fluorine, an axis about to break from an overload. i sat staring, enlightened. and this night, this recent night in the same situation, with my friends in the other room sleeping.
make it hurt, make this dim light burn out. give it one last kiss and let it weep alone.
i convince myself the road home is never long. someone remarkably close to me yet so drastically far, planted that seed into the folds years and years ago. so let, me, go home.
goodbye, finally (stupid and moving) amanda |

[Oct. 7th, 2008 and 03:18 am] |
look where i've put my arms now, how i've picketed them around, and delivered messages to colors and coats. the chill has gotten significantly worse, and the bus driver, what he has to say about that is, "i keep the heat off to keep the drunks clean." what is it about the heat that keeps us intoxicated?
but i'll make it a point to say there's a skyline so crisp, even while my eyes try to focus on the farthest thing it can see, and fail, and just a step out of this room to see the sun and feel the air i felt just a year ago, today. to remember this unlikely situation, i forced my pieces into a sandy reminder. i could only picture the face, laughing or furrowed in contempt, as usual. without the heat, and without the familiar comfort. i was coughing and watching.
i said a word and saw red. i taught myself how to show it. show the ends and the creations. i make it my best interest to quietly consume my new self, something these people would never understand. i made it my obligation to show without submerging capes and masks into fluorescent light. and as she waited in a small room, for something true and something heavenly, like a pang of freedom,
and maybe something that was not carrying the air that was not once in her lungs.
but of course, we all take these new things with a curiosity so broad and undeserving. if we could renew it again, i couldn't, just because subconsciously i would have the option of just fast forwarding my life, and the thrill of how a barely immaculate sphere brings us around to that darkness so fucking wild and late.
its richness still haunts me, as it filled my pockets and took over my joints. but it shut me up, and out. i might have done some things, and i might have not. i might have met someone accidentally at a scene and made way for its advantageous secrets. but a whole chunk of my life is missing, now.
when i was in tenth grade i took a history text book that wasn't signed to me, to borrow for an in-class assignment. and i ended up taking it home accidentally. and i wrote in the seams, what i felt and things i held. i filled the covers with me, my ambiguous thoughts cradled and sewn together like the very pages, but organized like my mind. touching different directions and times and thoughts.
i don't remember what i wrote about, but i have an idea it was the premonition to the rest of my life. because i put it back in the pile of textbooks. and never saw it again. i chew on the fact that it is somewhere, whether they understand it or not.
and that understanding will always give me shivers, that i have that, and can even share that with another person, share a love with another person, and a passion with another person.

i have pinpointed the love i saved and hid. it was a deadly sight. but with a smile - and "hello," ended it all. "hello," to a blaze out of control. i never felt so perfect.
of course i always thought of her.
i love you. i am and that is all. there is always a level. i love you.

sometimes people keep walking.
i remember how inexperience feels on the lips, and where was i, to every sense and touch. this mechanical ... smile? sometimes i believe that it wasn't there, and i made it up.
and i wish i knew how i dealt with it as i lay on it, bones nursed and old. instead i have hope for this new future, as questions arise and the answers could be canceled out forever.
but, i smiled, as deeply as i could smile, taking in how smooth my hands felt, how perfect it looked, out of the door and into my life.
if i could be as ecstatic as i was i could get it through me, and take it over me. and i will make every single truth in the world welded to my arms and legs, until i walk with an absolution so vast. AND THERE I WAS, the narrowness unfamiliar yet so intriguing, in each and every single page. but one particularly, without explanation, or reasonable cause, or anything pronounced, but Fate!

| | anna ternheim - lover's dream | ] | i remember the most i've cried in 24 hours before today. and the route swooped by my face, as i choked and killed in the passenger's seat. this route was the opener and, though i'd been down that road every single weekday during the school year, from there i clung to the vehicles bringing me there.
- my body has been going through several stages of removal at this moment. and as i wish it were a metaphysical removal, i choke up once again. my comfort, breached and excavated.
the concept of numbing oneself is something i've understood since then, sophomore year. things we cannot define, as youth embraces us, eventually capture us. and there i was feeling but not believing.
we all have those moments when our life is simply a dream, like everything we believe in can't even be a chip in this world. every rock you take off the mountain is still in the earth, somewhere...
at this point in my life - just now i see my hands playing the phone to not let it fly and break, writing a long message never to be sent, grazing the guitar strings for an answer, and sharing it with her answering machine.
 (my fingers...)
my face is then digging into them. here is to looking at everything objectively. to get away, to let myself go, watch, i shut off itunes. and in that instant that itunes vanished, appeared her face. not through my head, or memory, but a picture in my background. of her face on the fourth of july.
after the call, ed says, "a-bear, i'm gonna lay in your bed with you." as i'm fuming and frustrated, "that's your girlfriend? she's fucking hot. i bet you toss that shit around."
look at all that i've lost(?) in a few months. it will never be the same.

this boy said, "have you answered the question yet?"
and i was so intrigued. i was just sleeping thirty minutes before that moment. and i hadn't had a thing to eat all day, i barely said words at all.
i looked down at my hands like they would have answers, like they always have answers. and they looked back up at me with the same expression.
and he said, "it's okay you don't need to elaborate or really think about it."
(yes you do.)
after writing my answer he gave me a pamphlet and told me to meet tonight at 7:30, and discuss how people responded.
after this encounter, this intellectual mind-fuck of an encounter, i was so passionate about attending this meeting. starting off my weekend with that thought.
i took the pamphlet without even reading it.
and when i got back to my dorm after i opened my package and put down my tye-dyed shirt, i read it. and there it says, boldface and centered,
"intervarsity"
(never have i been so physically disgusted.) |
