Favorite Quote:
“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. ” – Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated


The rain strikes the thin roof

Like the shattering of glass on the weary tile floor

Since then, no time and all time has trickled painlessly between us

And that look of numbing confusion you shot me years ago

What other empty poison could have been repeated?

There's not much left to ignore now

It is all pretend, I tell myself

It is all pretend until it is not
