you'd make a nighttime of the day so it'd suit the mood of your song

Monday, July 14

Maybe it's because I'm used to being broken and seeing broken things that I never complain when the ice machine is on the fritz or the air conditioner isn't quite cold enough. Maybe it's because I love the numbness that I find it easy to shut my eyes for three second intervals while I drive, a little dare for myself. I've been internally screaming for months and before I reached the boiling point, I let my car drift across lanes, regaining control just before disaster struck. The roads are silent and lonely at two in the morning, perfect for escapism. I want it to stay this fuzzy time forever, always have the perfect wind of a summer night to spill my secrets into.

Ps. Sorry I've been gone; it's been rough goings.

  3. internally screaming.... I do know a lot about that... and those moment when you close the eyes while driving... I feel less guilty of doing so too.. hope you're doing fine... take a break, breathe... don't worry about us... we'll be here when you get back.. hugs!
