Elephants

I'm sorry I've been such a downer lately :( Fun blogs soon! After Penang.

Elephants
If the elephants have past lives, yet are destined to always remember, it's no wonder how they scream. Like you and I, they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the plains, dirtying up their beds watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do? You are forcing me to remember and all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young and, tell me, how did you slip by? All my instincts have failed me for once, I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill, tearing it all apart, blood dripping from their lips, teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you will call when you know I need some peace of mind? If you had to take sides with the animals, won't you do it with one who is kind?

If the hawks in the tree need the dead, if you're living, you don't stand a chance, for a time, though you share the same bed. There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wound just in time or lie there as he feeds, watching yourself ripped to shreds, laughing as you bleed

So, for those of you falling in love: Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right; throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night

Elephants says:
haha yeah
it describes a real situation though. it's like
someone likes someone but they know they have to let the person go
and they can't
and the person keeps drawing them back
it's like no matter what they do they can't forget. sigh
it's so beautiful

it's like sometimes when i like someone
i really give them all my emotion? it's extreme
and then it's like

it's so hard to let go because
you get so used to thinking about the person all the time

This is the way I know you are always on my mind. Because even though today was full of chaos (misguided attempt at eating an apple to cure my sore throat; 4 bottles of Chinese herbal tea; pirated cable; good floorball; English) I can't help but mention you the first chance I get

Or maybe it's me being a teenager. Either way it's beautiful, I wish I could bottle it and sell it but it probably wouldn't do that well because nobody needs to buy a vial of an emotion they already have

Elephants says:
but sometimes it's easier to pretend to be happy
than explain to them why I'm sad

I'm going to depress you one by one
