a comic about cuddles
My lover had a lover
oh it wasn’t fun
but I loved him like no other
oh it wasn’t fun
wasted time is pure golden
in the red eye of the beholder
Take my hand because I can’t see
all the things I let you do to me
counting tears as they fall up
I’m upside down, and totally fucked
I won’t dare let you let me down
for you made me a fool, a goddamn clown
Please tell me i'm not as forgettable as your silence is making me feel.

These I have loved
A great tall girl, full of blue
Inviting lips, sweet to the eye but never tasted
Glasses that were black but now are pink
A voice of the ocean, Like waves hitting the breakwater
Of hair so perfect, Aphrodite should blush
A figure akin to the sun setting on the horizon
A connection so deep, the ocean has nothing on it
The future that lights up my nighttime
A conversation of Apple's and taste
Two people so together- hot and cold water
The sound of soothing poetry
A great tall girl
Yes,
These I have loved
It's silence I crave, it's why I swim
The weight of water
Over me
Around me-
The safe silence of submergence.
At the waters edge I may be ugly,
But underwater, we are made equal And
When I speak strokes
I Am Beautiful.
-Adaptation of my favourite book, the weight of water by Sarah Crossan
They say a picture of you is worth a Thousand words,
But looking at you my memory is Somewhat blurred
Watched my efforts end in vain like blood
Thought my memories of you would stick like glue
Scrolling through my gallery
Pictures of you once took they toll
But now my heart feels nothing
In the midst of our forgotten dialogues
I shed no tears for what remains
I'm always one to remember the good Times
Yet with you I remember nothing
They always teach of true love
Never of true heartbreak
So, like they say in the scriptures
Blessed are those,
who have never met you they shall never know the meaning of true heartbreak

She asked me to tell you... She wanted you to know... that if love were enough... that if love were enough, that she'd still be here with you.
