Mortal Imperishable

In the last hours, I've discovered that I am a Black Cat. I do not believe I deserve the gifts of people. Not the gifts that people give me. But the actual person, who is my gift. I do not believe in God (beyond philosophical ideals), and I do not believe in fate (in the form of the choreography of ones life). I do believe in the power of one's own faith in relevance to what happens to them (the same power invested in prayer), and lastnight I went to bed with the rhythm of "Maybe I won't wake up in the morning," drumming through my veins. And the next thing I remember is waking up. My mind is a desert, art is a hallucination that I bring into reality through my physical being, and then there is the one thing that is beautiful in my mind. The flower that stands out in a barren world, the one thing that survives the chaos, and the thing that I don't want to pluck, for fear of wilting away. I just hope she knows I WILL always love her. And I hope it's the same for her. I want to bury myself in the sand, and become a beautiful flower, and I want her to teach me how to see beyond the desert. I hope we live forever, while we watch the world die.
youre my only hope

cool. you have a way with words.

[zzz]

I don't know what to say to you to help you. It hurts not knowing what to do. I want you to be happy, so much. It's painful when you aren't laughing.


I love you so much...please just tell me what to do, and I'll do it. I don't know what else to say. I'm so sorry you feel this way.


I wish I was as good with words as you. Maybe then I could find the right ones.

Well, should I admit

That my promise is counterfeit

That I'm careless and childish

And that's all I can hope to be

And would you concede

That I think only of myself

I refuse everybody's help

Who has been reaching out for me


Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor

And the swing of a miner

You have cleared the rock away

Leaving gold there in its place

And it is more than anyone could claim

Oh, with the sense of a banker

And with the touch of a tailor

You saved this life for me

And you have sown it to beauty

And I am grateful now and I will always be

So would you sing with me

The song is all I know

Some truths are told now only in a melody

So I've been writing a new one

Yeah, I've been taking my time with it

It's gonna be so perfect

It's gonna hold all of us inside of it

You will see

If you just add your harmony

I think it would be complete

And be worthy of singing

Becomes a symphony

Yeah, you're the cool of the water

You're the start of the summer

Keep me still like a anchor

In a storm you're the cellar

When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather

When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember

With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar

When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter


You're a poet

And a saint

You are the only one I choose to imitate

Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera

It's this picture I have seen

We're on a sloping hill of green

And you are walking there beside me

I love you.
