leaving a dream.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in darkness, so simple a phrase like ’ maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” Neil Gaiman

Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I'm afraid they're going to leave.

Everyone wants to be somebody.

We all have our own dreams.

But is your dream practical enough for the real world?

Crocodile Lies

itchycosmicpocket:

by Marcus Flutie

I confess, yes, our Fall was all my fault
If you kissed my eyes, your lips would taste salt
But you think my regret is a lie, and the tears I cry
Are the crocodile kind.

The sweat on your upper lip starts to boil
White hot with anger, still convinced I’m your foil
You keep fighting me, though my eyes are free
From crocodile lies.

You, yes, you linger inside my heart
The same you who stopped us before we could start
I didn’t want to leave, but you began to believe
Your own crocodile lies.

The only person stopping you is yourself
You won’t accept that I want no one else,
So until you do, I’ll let someone else have you

Every day, I live a lie
But not the crocodile kind.

For all the Jessica Darling/Marcus Flutie fans out there. And also to those who wish Marcus Flutie existed, in flesh and in blood. ^__^

“did you know that the average american spends six months of his or her life waiting for the red lights to turn green? six months wasted, waiting for permission to move on…” Marcus Flutie (Sloppy Firsts - Megan McCafferty) (via happykiddo)

“Girls are like apples. The best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they’re afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren’t as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there’s something wrong with them when in reality, they’re amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top.” Pete Wentz (via norais: bedspreadbandit: 1991) (via fuckyeahpetewentz)
