Have you ever wondered what its like to look in the mirror and not hate what you see? To remember scribbling the countless "Caiti was here"s in blood on your bedroom wall? My hinges arent working quite as well as they used to, but my dusty memories are still locked up safe in my mind, because sooner or later your secrets are all you have.

You are the beautiful virus that eats away at my heart. I am the ash on the floor of a building you burnt down in a fit of rage long ago. Its too late to offer your rusty apologies now, youve burnt all your bridges as well. What will you do when you have no one to turn to? When feral dogs have torn apart your sanity? As the sparkling silver rips open your soul in wine dark red, will you scream my name until you die?

That is one rad ramble, I must say.
Keep 'em up... unless you become an insomniac in doing so, I wouldn't want that.

Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea
