libya in lowercase - volume two, day one

tuesday. may 11, 2010.


-

there is nothing
more confusing 
or frustrating 
or mind-spinning
than saying goodbye,
except saying goodbye
in the middle 
of hartsfield airport's
security check.

where we were.

and when they entered,
they saw the message
on the walls

"we were here,
and now we're gone
now you are here
and we're alone

just know that we 
waited for you 
while we could,
when we were here. "

she grew up good, she grew up slow.♥.

((couldn't wait to get going, but wasn't quite ready to leave. ))

just something beautiful for you, to pass the time.

much love, much love.

love feels like

it's like
tripping,
falling,
slipping,
sliding,
wildly,
headfirst,
into you. 

mama say

string along tales of a 
revolution born of 
spit and blood

canada, mama say
one day we go

she told me not to 
leave the house that night
not to leave 
into a darkness
full of screams and 
blackness and 
blood. 

should have listened.
