First love
I'm no different really, I was young
and in love once, nothing special. It's that same, simple story as old as time;
boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy asks girl out, girl says yes, boy and girl
go out, make a grand old time of it, boy finds out girl is actually a planet
eating leviathan from outer space, girl destroys boys world, boy dies...boy is
reborn, boy questions what was so great about girl anyway, boy finds new girl,
new girls, new boys, perhaps, but always comes back to that old monster of a
girl when alone...always...

Don't
you hate it when you fall in love with a girl and you go through a series of
misadventures, not explicitly trying to get her, but just be around her, but
then her boyfriend, jealous at the bond that you two share, rounds up a mob to
chase you out of town and you hide in a building and the girl finds you and asks
you to hold her, but you can't because you've got scissors for hands because Vincent
Price made you out of an old sewing machine but died before he could replace
your scissors with hands....
Of
relationships
Those
hollowed cheeks, those shadow strewn eyes, those cracked lips with their desiccated
smile...I think she meant to do me harm, for what I did to that girl, the
nymph, what was her name? What was her name? Anyway, I believe she meant to
punish me for my transgression. I was afraid, at first, that voice leading me
to the pool, but such wonder she has shown me. I never knew just how beguiling
sallow skin could be, how intoxicating the taste of rotting teeth could be, how
ravishing the hungry can look. Truly, I could die happy here.
Do you
remember
We met
years ago, so many years ago now. You probably don't remember, why would you?
It was a small, insignificant event, and I am a small, insignificant person,
but that's where we first met, in that hall, all those years ago. We talked
then, briefly, about our hopes, our dreams. Childishly, we talked about where
we'd be in five years, ten years, the careers we'd have, the lives we'd be
living. I lied though, a bad sign. I didn't say anything about you being there,
here, though that would've been my dream. Though that is my dream.
