Bio
31, I love pitbulls and kittens. Rats are another favorite. Bukowski and Baldwin...good or bad, i love people's teeth. Always loved taxidermy, long as they weren't hunted. I want a thousand books, a house in Istanbul and half a dozen stuffed cats (once they finally leave). Tattooed nearly ten years, and now, maybe, I don't like it... Trying to get the crazies out of my head. I feel somewhere in between a wreckless hobo and a vunerable little girl...and I want to be a writer someday.

A Useless Poem to an Old Lover

Rate: 3 Flag

Oh STC~

Like talking on the phone

with you

when you're talking--

i mean, drinking

'cos that's when you're talking.

I must admit,

You have been more than

a bit of a 

mystery 

to me.

You are 

(or I feel you become)

a complete stranger

to me--

in between visits.

However, there is something there...

and it keeps me coming back.

And although

I could name a million reasons

why I love you,

I cannot explain your appeal exactly.

 

He used to:

Terrify and excite me. 

He was from someplace else.

Your presence used to comfort and protect me--

from what, 

I don't know.

I was always instantly pleased

once around you.

I used to feel him

losing himself in me

and then, 

at different times,

I used to know

full-well

he had pulled out

and

he was drifting away.

STC,

I am not good at this relationship stuff--

haven't had a sucessful one yet...

but,

I promise,

I am giving you my all

and everyday I am loving you

my best.
