i thought i wanted us to give magic to the world. now, all i want is my partner back.
it's a psychic wound you can't conceal
closing, opening, never heals
it's a cosmic cheque you never cashed
curse the universe for what you lack
someday i'm gonna be somebody people want
it was the raging storm
of a foreign war
and a face i'd seen before
there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. it's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...
“I AM YOUR KING!”
“you were always my king. you used to know that once.”
they tell me, “grief is just love letting go”
they say it like milk has been spilled on the floor
when you love the doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves. you don't expect a sunset to admire you back.
“you betrayed my trust, you betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that i ever stood for, you let me down!”
“then why are you helping me?”
“why? do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?”
she's solid. she’s a fixed point, and if she’s there, i know exactly where i stand, exactly what i’m doing, relative to her.
“i wish you wouldn't look at me like that.”
“like what?”
“i don't know,” i hesitated. “like you could love me.”
all i am is somehow because of you, and believe me when i say i cannot bear that.
love comes and goes,
but the big black dog, he trails along
am i the only one who knows him?
should i run a million miles away from every memory of you?
“i was gonna be with you forever.”
“i know.”
“rest of my life.”
he loved the sun so much he was willing to die just to be able to touch her, only momentarily. i think that’s what you are for me.
“i'm so sick of losing.”
“you didn't lose. you saved the town.”
“i don't mean the war. i'll lose any war you like. i'm sick of losing people.”
when the scale tipped,
when you inherited a fight that you were born to lose
it’s not your fault, no it’s not your fault
i put this heavy heart in you
human. you are human. along with all the failures and terrible mistakes that come with being human.
you two are connected by a pure coincidence,
bound to him by blood
but baby, it's all relative
someday i'm gonna be somebody people want
lancaster- orion, listen to me, please don’t do this-
did the real me corrupt the fantasy?
did i spoil the view?
to be trans is to be your own pallbearer,
to carry the weight of a dead person around with you
you're not alone,
the world is small,
and i am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
