absolution shabby

Listens: billie holiday

the moon is new, but love is old

flashbacks that maybe never have even happened. only in someone so erratic, which is everybody. right.

m: why do you. why do you. why do you write.
f: because it's cheaper than developing film.

and then there's this, new to the table.

b: what happens now? nothing keeps you up all night?
m: i'd rather be this awkward and uncomfortable my whole life and still wheeze from something than. this listless nothing feeling
m: it's different, things matter, but
m: i know nothing someone says is going to kill me, or so i believe
m: and as healthy as that might be, i miss.
b: it sounds like you're saying you miss being delusional
b: and i feel the same way
m: (twinge) thanks for putting it in proper perspective
b: if you are saying that

b: i think you draw people who care like a fucking black hole
m: what?
m: i'm confused and tired sorry
b: sorry, i mean. um, pardon the swearing.
m: oh, i don't care about that. (laughs at the notion of minding) i just don't understand
b: you said it's hard to find people who care, right? but i think you attract those kinds of people.
m: anyway. and. i thought
m: no, actually not. i draw cold people
m: which frightens me, i think it must mean
m: deep down i'm cold too
m: and that. is what i am most afraid of actually.
...
m: but...it's amplified because my language is fucked up
m: and i think people take that to mean
b: yeah.
m: i'm distancing myself
m: which. is painful and funny because. i'm not.
b: i think i took it that way too.
m: quite. the opposite. unfiltered.
m: yeah. it's an issue
b: but this is really cool, talking to you. i wanted to for a long time.
b: and you're making sense and everything.

m: the sore spot in my life. "speak clearly."
m: tearing up
m: oh well. shrug. too tired to let it hurt too much right now

m: i'd make a bad housewife. my dorm is a mess.
b: good
m: i will borrow someone's vacuum cleaner tomorrow
b: no, don't
m: well...you don't have to live with the crumbs :/
b: :) just fooling

/

b: i was wondering if you actually know what the hell you're talking about
...
b: just in general
...
m: i need more coffee just keep talking i'll be back in a sec
b: because it seems like it means something but i don't know what...ok

/

b: i guess i'm like that sort of, i don't want to know any girl completely.

b: how disturbing it would be to know someone completely
