The Place You Used To Live













There's still a door here shaped like you. Boarded up, covered in chains and nails. Paper stuffed in the locks.

The First Sign Is Taking Strange Pictures

I have pretended to go mad in order to tell you the things I need to. I call it art. Because art is the word we give to our feelings made public. And art doesn't worry anyone.

The Glitter Phoenix

The Needle And Ink

Look at you, like a new tattoo. Because I might not always have you but I'll have the feeling of you for the rest of my life.
