huge racking sobs tore through her tiny body,
it hurt so fucking much just to hear her
but despite what she must've felt,
she didn't blame him because
she knew he was hurting too.
why, why is it so hard?
for anybody really.
for her, for them,
for us?
i give up
indulge me while i spill random thoughts off the top of my head
shaking, and yes, reality was a complete blur
maybe it was what i thought it was,
but i'm going to stop thinking.
it scares me too much, replaying the moments
it was love, in the end wasn't it now?
everything hurts, like it did just a few days ago.
like a sunburn, i wince at the mere touch
it's raw and painful,
it must be for you too i suppose
but i'm talking about something else here
everything, everything.
"you know i only deleted one right? i couldn't do any more than that"
but then
they're all gone now, and you say you did that some time back
that hurts
but i hurt you too and this would be a pinprick really,
compared to what i've put you through
and then
there's
everything, everything else
the profile, the words left unchanged
the status maybe?
but i'm not in it for that
i should stop being so skin deep and superficial
am i just being superficial?
it hurts, it all hurts
but shh, i can't say anything. i won't.
trapped in that minute,
frozen.
this, this can't be
happening
ice. shatter. scream. blade.
i could just, just reach out a little
fear. cold, painful fear.
i cried out;
"My God my God, why hath thou forsaken me?"
i knew the answer,
i think
safe. safe.safe.
but
i couldn't get what was happening.
couldn't get out of it.
i could hold him, hold him tight
and drive that blade into my wrist
so that, so that i just might
bleed upon him
but i didn't, i couldn't
i believed and i trusted.
today,
a part of me died
and a part of me,
was taken away.
but maybe, just maybe
i gave it away myself.
that scares me most.i've got filming tomorrow and i'm like not freaking sleeping yet.
i really ought to go off, really.
night world, sorry you don't understand a word i've written.

can you hear me scream? i can't, i can't anymore
what will it take, my darling?
will it take just this, my sweet?
weren't we more than this, than that?
will it take, just this to change your mind?
maybe i'll push you so far, you'll just have to hate me
you once said i'd never get rid of you, even if i tried
i'm not doing this to you, you know
you still need to think straight, my darling
your head's far from clear, my sweet
we'll wait it out, my darling
so that you'll know what you want,
for real
i need you, just as much as you need me.
no,
differently i think.
i don't just need somebody to hold me,
i want it to be you, who's holding me.
only you make me feel safe in your arms
i'm screaming it out so loud,
i can't hear myself anymore.
iwantyouiwantyouiwantyou
do you,
want
me?

too alarming now to talk it out,
take your pictures down and shake it out.
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence and race it around.
well, what can i say?
i tried, i did.
i'm not starting to shop around,
in fact, as much as i don't want to,
i'm still freaking hanging on and waiting.
but oh,
i know i shouldn't
after all,
you made it so very clear
i'll return your deposit though
since you've said your piece
and even though i know it's crazy hard for you,
it's the same for me.
i'd probably take off your ring too,
like wearing it on the opposite finger isn't enough!
but for this while, until i can,
i'll keep it on
because i do love you, you know.
i'll wait it out,
and i'll try to last.
but oh anyways,
she likes you, i can tell.
we always seem to notice who's eyeing the person we're in love with.
but anyway,
i'm sure she hates me and if you've told her,
she probably hates me more.
if we make it through,
and you end up dating her while we settle for being friends,
i'll tell you i told you so
for now,
i'll try to pull through this, just like you will have to.
it's harsh and painful,
but it's better than going on.
and you know, you did say that we should move on.
oh but i love you

there will come a time where pictures you've kept locked in your treasure box will crumble between your fingers when you take them out.
memories will fade and get blurry, as will those remaining pictures which havn't yet disintergrated.
you will shake uncontrollably, whether from parkinson's diesease or being overwhelmed with emotion, as you run your fingers across familiar young smiling faces
and you will cry when it hits you like a punch in the stomach,
that you're so far away from the people you love so much.
"some parents hold their children too tight, the child can hardly breathe"
-quoted from skins
well that applies with us too i suppose, friends, girlfriends or boyfriends.
when we hold on too tight, when we try too hard to want to be close,
it just seems to repel us.
there will come a time in our lives, when we would give the world to be young again.
to go through the pain, and the sorrow but knowing we'd get to experience the joy as well.
when that time comes,
we will feel that all the pain and the sorrow and the hurt will be worth it,
cos Lord knows, you ain't felt pain til you've been through childbirth
and you don't know what hurt and sorrow is until your baby looks you in the eye and tells you she hates you.
we will come to that point in our lives where we will feel, and probably rightly so, that the suspension from school, the picking on from annoying teachers and the world-changing break up is so much more bearable compared to what we've had to go through since then.
we will come to that point in our lives, where we will realize how important those memories are, because they're all that's left of those wonderful times and even they, are growing dim.
we will reach that fragile stage, where our children wave goodbye as they pull out of the driveway in their cars filled with their children; our grandchildren
and our tea grows cold, by the time we've settled down to drink it.
and when that time comes, when that point in our lives arrive,
we can only wish so desperately to be back in the most horrible situation we were in as a child or as a teenager,
because it seems infinitely better,
and it probably is, mind you
we will try to grip onto what's left of what we can remember,
photos we randomly snapped one after the other in the dressing room,
at the mrt station and especially, most especially, in the toilet.
we will imagine the drunk (and the notso-drunk) girl kisses,
we will try and try to relive the moment but fail to do anything more than bring it to memory.
of course, this is all easy to say when you're imagining yourself looking back on now.
oh but of course! it doesn't look so bad when you think about what you would have already been through in fifty years time.
but once you've come back from the future,
honey, we're still here in the ohsorightnow.
and honestly, it sucks like a fucking bitch
it's not that it can't be handled or dealt with, or anything of the sort.
there're friends, wonderful darlings who i swear i could never ever live without,
much less imagine life without
all the same,
in this time, place, situation.
in this now
it's painful, having to live with my mistake and (coincidentally)
everytime i feel i might just stop punishing myself,
you take that away
and you, you make me hate myself all over again.
i talked it over with two, three people who listened and gave advice worth listening to.
talked it over and thought.
because you know, i havn't been able to fucking sleep properly
because you know, i'm paying for my mistake
maybe you don't know that, come to think of it
at first, i thought that we'd just take some time off completely,
from one another
then after that i thought,
i loved you too much to be with you because of the possibility of hurting you again.
and i stuck with that
until this afternoon
she said, that as fluffy and fantastical as these kind of things get, she believed she could see us together
"there's always that give it a shot thing"
you used to tell me that too, do you remember?
it's amazing how confusing your signals get
"you should tell him"
well i told you, ruins the moment but hell, i did it
perhaps to have the only truth i might not have heard otherwise
you're right, you're so right.
darling you didn't deserve what i did to you
and i'll never be able to tell you how sorry i am.
but you know,
against all advice,
i have begged, crawled, grovelled.
i made a mistake and i'm sorry.
it's not that i'm forgiving myself a lot easier than the people around me can forgive me.
rather,
i have tried.
i decided that i had to, because i was truly sorry,
and you really did and still do, mean that much.
you told me to wait, so i waited.
told me to hold on, i did.
wait indefinitely.
but you see,
this isn't waiting indefinitely.
you strung me along,
to tell me through a blog post that you can never and will never trust me again.
for the two weeks,
you were freezingly cold to me on the phone
but you kiss me when we meet and you hug me and hold me tight.
you tell me that you still love me and you don't want to lose me,
but when you look away and talk to me,
the hate and spite seeps through your words and you,
become someone other than the person who kissed me not more than a few minutes ago.
when i hated myself too much to feel i deserved a birthday celebration,
you told me otherwise
said i was being silly.
but then, when i start trying to get past my mistake,
when i decided i might just stop hating myself,
your bring it all up again, throw it all in my face
"remember what you did? you hurt me"
is what your every single word seems to scream at me.
and only after what charlene said, and what vicky said do i realize;
yes, you didn't deserve what i did to you.
i'm am so, ever so sorry.
but i don't deserve what you've done to me either.
because, i am still human.
so fallen, and having made the mistake of my life, feeling like i shouldnt really live anymore.
and i can hate myself and punish myself,
and come round to forgiving myself and moving on from my mistake.
but i don't deserve the emotional, psychological rollar coaster ride you've taken me on.
i still hate myself for what i did to you?
and you might hold this over me for as long as you will,
and i'd probably let you.
but what you've done now,
just.
oh so suddenly
nothing sparked it
and we've struggled through this fortnight,
though it's felt like two decades
and suddenly, you pull the brakes on the rollar coaster,
just as we're on the upward slope
oh almost there
but you wouldn't be you if you didn't, my darling.
like i said, you will always be special,
so fucking special
and one of a kind.
no one could make me happy like you did, and no one could make me cry like you have either.
maybe you'll say the same for me.
and even though it won't mean anything to you,
i'm sorry, truly i am.
i'd give the world to have you not feel so much hurt
because even though my actions contradicted every single i love you that i have ever said,
and even though i shattered those two years and all the most beautiful moments we've ever shared,
i love you.
with all my heart
and i know nothing i ever do will ever make up for that,
nothing i do will ever make you trust me again.
you bet your life on that already.
so even though it wasn't on my list of possible paths to take,
now we will have to move on, let go of each other.
now, we take our last bows and say goodnight and goodbye
all i wanna do is find a way back into lovei think we have to find our way out firstthere will come a point in time, where we will sit on the swing on the patio,
and as it creaks, we will wonder what we could've have been and where we would be now.
there will come that breaking moment in our life, when we will look at those old photographs which we've hidden from ourselves, placed together with those random letters we thought were lost over the years of moving and shifting.
and when that moment comes, we will cry.
and run our shaky fingers over the words written in an old lover's hand, on a page yellowed with age and stained with years of heartache.
we will trace the photograph of the familiar smile which brought such weakness to our knees,
and butterflies to our tummies.
but we will smile, at the memory and the whiff of youth it brings.

Girl Next Door
Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
She's the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She's a cheerleader
I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutaunt
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her
She's the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She'sa cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Oh and I'm just the girl next door
I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
She's the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She's a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America and...
she's Miss America
I'm just the girl next door...
oooh! quite quite crazy about this song. so pathetic without being whiny and oh so
funny
almost
to a certain extent
just when i think i deserve to smile again, you tell me that i don't.
perhaps it's come to a point where it's too much about you now,
and i have to take myself out of everything.
or of course, keep hating myself and punishing myself so that you'll see how sorry i am.
thought you loved me
i still do, is that wrong?
how can everything be so wonderfully brilliant and with a flip of a page,
it isn't.
or maybe it wasn't ever brilliant, and i was just imagining it.
that's it, it must be it.
because you couldn't have been the person who kissed me and told me to wait.
could you?

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one;
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one,with nothing to give you
but oh...I love you
oh, where do i begin? to tell the story of how great a love can be.
the great love story that is older than the sea.
where do i start?
with his first hello, he brought a meaning to this empty world of mine, oh yes he really did.
and there'd never be another love, another time.
because, he came into my life and made the living fine.
he did, and still does, fill my heart
let's run away together

we need to come to some sort of agreement,
we need to figure something out, so we can move on together
be it whether or not we decide to
move on together
or move on and off and away
i hate what you're going through,
and i'm so so so sorry
i was clearing my email, rubbish accumulated over time,
and i saw two comments he left, one after the other,
on the 16th of june.
comments that at that point in time, probably brought a smile,
and a just that slight tinge of exasperation that he were so worried about me,
which at the same time of course, made me smile again.
less than a year on however,
and with this completely new situation i've found myself in,
i look at those two comments,
comprising of only a few words,
and yet so full of the love i thought i didn't quite have when i was with him.
i read old emails, filled with words that seem to only be describing this whole situation we're in right now.
filled with all the words i want to say, but can't get out.
perhaps it took me this huge mistake to realize,
how much you loved me
and how much i love you.
unrealistic expectations,
and probably, without me even realizing it.
there was a big bang, and we all got knocked down
but then,
everything seems to have fallen in place along with it
both rings clink on my finger,
this painful reminder that we aren't what we used to be,
and we won't be for a long time
i get that, i understand
i know
and i'm prepared
for the over suspicion, the mistrust
the works
perhaps i have to stop punishing myself
but i don't believe i deserve that just yet,
not until
we need time, space
i'd say a huge shot of vodka too
except i had a whole glass that one time and it didn't help me to think any clearer
we have to each think about what's best for ourselves
i need you,
but i know right now you don't need me
you can't because it's too painful and i know that
so more than anything,
you need time
and i'll admit, i hate that
i'm right here

i should go jogging.
but i'm not
and i'm fucking tired and my feet hurt.
i need more fabric for my skirt
i shopped today and i'm actually very happy
i'm having gastric right now and it hurts like a bitch
i bought these cute sandals
and
andandand
i want you
anywayi've tidied up my multiply site
(i didnt know we could pick out layouts!oh too cool!)
SO
you guys should go check it out.
it just takes a couple of clicks,
1) click on the world tab
2) scroll down
3) scroll PAST the archives and click on picture perfect
4) there isn't a step four because
TAAA DAAA you're there(:
it's got pictures, music, EVERYTHING
videos, stupid ones like vicky looking homeless and ann looking,
well ann na-ish in a box
on top of all that,
my oh so beautiful multiply site is linked to this blog
so you can read my blog posts from there
for people like VICKY
who never fail to emphasize how she hates the font size on my blog,
it would suit fine because the font there is bigger, blablabla all that jazz
i really love it, i think it's sooo me
and it'll be weird okay, reading this post FROM that site.
this entry should be disregarded!
mmhmm
even though i loooove this blog,
it would just make more sense to, you know,
just link the other since it's got everything else up there.
but see, this blog, you know,
being linked to that one and all, obviously has to be kept open.
so i blog using blogger,
and then the post comes out in two seperate
(AND BOTH SO VERY BEAUTIFUL)
web pages
oh joy!
PLUS
that one displays the title of my posts
and you know,
i always have SUCH nice titles which no one ever gets to see.
SO
enjoy the multiply site.
i'll be on tv acting as an ah lian!
the wonderfullness of it all
oh yes, what a bit of news and ohso all over the place!

so close, yet out of reach
SO
i went back to school today, in my newly designed top!(:
got everyone to try the birthday cake that daddy bought for me,
yes i know, ohsosinful but gorgeous isn't it?
i've registered for English privately, but i really don't know what i'm going to do about art.
fucking shit
okay, enough
so thought about it and stuff
it's tough on you, i know
we're both trying to move on, and there's no easier way.
i'm sorry i messed us up.
do you know how much it guts me,
everytime i see stuff that states so clearly your already decided stand
on one hand, i'm trying so hard to do things so that you won't worry,
so that you don't have a reason to doubt me.
and yet, i need to start somewhere, but you're not giving me even that teaspoon of trust.
i'm trying, trying so hard to, and it's so difficult when i don't even have a single stepping stone.
on top of that, i see things like your status, displayed for the world.
it hurts.
but then, you'd say i deserve it and i guess i do, to a certain extent.
they say, give you time
you say, not right now
and i, i don't know what to do.
i need to move on from my mistake as much as you do, you know
i know i was the one who blew this whole thing up,
i was the one who caused this.
and now, the aftermath, you're in it too, and you need to know that.
every little bit hurts,
but i can't say anything because nothing would hurt as much as i've already hurt you, right?
as much as i am wrong, it hurts.
as much as i hurt, i know you've been hurt more
and as much as i have hurt you, i know i love you.
i'm living around you, and i know that
i thought for a moment, it was worth it.
but,
as much as i've wronged you, i'd like a chance.
a chance to, just get somewhere you know?
and it's difficult, so fucking difficult.
once again, it's my fault
because i wasn't letting you get on with life i suppose
so i'm doing that,
but there's wrong in that too
i can't seem to do anything right, can i?
and you, you.
friend.
i confided in you.
i don't know what to say, anymore.
while i'm trying to figure this out, on my own i might add
because everyone knows, you have to sort things out yourself,
you make it worse
every single bit of it
i don't need you to pretty it up, and i know how your take on human life
involves no one getting a second chance
but you know, i went to you for help,
and you told me one thing, the right thing, yes
but you turn around and say something else to him.
i can't believe you.
and just thinking about you makes me want to cry
because you've always been around,
and you've always always been there
and even though i'm guessing your intentions were purely good,
helpful even,
it hurts thinking about what you said.
you know, maybe there's truth in it.
maybe.
i don't think there is,
especially what you last said.
For you to say that to him,
it guts me even more than this.
you were never involved, you were a friend i told.
i hope you don't think you're in-between.
because if there were sides, you're on neither
you're helping him out, i get it.
man to man, someone who's been through this shit before.
you look back, after what you've been through,
and you think "this is what i should've done."
and you pass along that information.
you're forgetting something,
i'm not her.
i am not like her.
and him?
he's stronger than we all would've guessed, and i'm happy about that.
so he's not like you back then either.
different people, similar situation yes.
we're both your friends,
you advised both of us similarly.
and then,(oh yes around my birthday too!)
you said stuff, gave him ideas and suggestions that were purely,
unjust, unfair and bias.
you yourself said that i should take into consideration how your answers and advice to me would be bias.
i did, and i was still willing to listen.
because he deserved that much.
in whatever way possible, i wanted him to stop feeling the hurt.
a part of me wants him back you know, so fucking much.
actually, all of me does.
but there's a part of me that doesn't want that because,
i don't want him to have to go through what you went through.
and when we're both, both
at our weakest
how could you?
how could ever say something like that?
i can't look at you the same way, ever again.
thanks, thanks a lot.
he told me that, you didn't stab me in the back.
i get that, you know
i mean, you were just trying to help out a friend.
it's the way you said it.
if you said it completely differently,
ie; "well, in my opinion..."
it wouldn't have been half as bad.
my close friends are mad at me for what i did.
ann could jolly well have said the same thing
EXCEPT
if she felt what you did,
she could fucking look me in the eye and say,
"i don't think you deserve it,him anymore"
difference.
you're still my friend at the end of the day.
you didn't do it for anyone.
maybe him, but it wasn't like evil or something.
it'll blow over, and i'll breathe, or try to at least.
meanwhile, i've got music making me feel like i'm in disneyland ringing in my ear while i wait for my mom to pick up the phone.
excuse me, i need to go jump of a building now.

Ainsley honey: for walking that ohsolong ten minute walk from the club to pick me up,
and then looking after my handbag for me(: haha
most of all, for offering to spend with me what was planned to be an all-to-myself birthday
though i don't see how that would've been possible considering your night out. haha.
but thank you all the same(:
everyone else:
for birthday wishes and regards.
thank you(:
i've had three birthday cakes, a brownie cake and a birthday sundae
made my wishes, and i'm guessing that everyone probably knows what that wish is.
and of course, how it's not ever going to come true.
but a girl can wish, and hope can't she?
my birthday was a mass of tears, surprise and fun
as much as i enjoyed myself, loving every other minute of it, i couldn't help thinking of the horrible reality of it.
i'm sixteen, made the biggest mistake of my life and because of that well, i needn't say more do i?
but it's painful, how i could be held and hugged but at the end of the day,
the decision, the "only thing that can be done now" still remains the same.
you'll never forget, i won't ever forget. and that's what's painful.
you can try, yes.
you asked me to wait, and that's all i'm doing now.
feeling this need to tell you my coming and going, my whereabouts at any given moment
i fully understand your suspicions, the endless questions that keep echoing in your head and i'm living with it.
then for you to say that you know how you'll never be happy with me
it's quite a different story altogether
painful reality check when i've thought that even if it takes forever, i'm still waiting.
the truth of the matter is, and you should say it too,
that we won't be together again.
i hate thinking that, i didn't want to.
you asked me to wait, so i waited
but at the end of the day, you still feel that what i've done comes between us.
and that the only way is for you to forget it, and in doing that, you have to get over me.
you're not wrong for thinking that, and you might get over me
but i don't think you'll ever forget.
so if you're asking me to wait for you to forget, and get over me and fall in love with me all over again,
you might as well just.
i can't say it,
you know i can't and i don't want to.
pathetic isn't it?
after all this ranting and raving that i can't even say what's staring us both in the face
i want to wait,
i want to wait for you.
but you'll never forget, and if you even want to try,
we have to, you have to,
let go and move on.
i can't go back to where i used to be
let go and move on,
we tell each other that
say we shouldn't talk to each other so much,
let the other get on with life
yet as far as i can tell,
both of us can't really do that can we?
we know what we have to do and yet,
we don't want to.
i don't want to let you go, can you let go of me?
i wrote "i [heart] you" in the sand, it didn't blow away.
it's still there, would you like to take my hand, we can walk down that road again.
go back to the beach again, to that same special place and look for those words.
cos even after the sea water's washed over it, somehow i think the sand's been stained with those words i wrote.
those words i wrote, for you

i could feel you right there,
so close, inside methey say the problem with giving your heart to someone is that,
you never do get your heart back.
a part of you will always be left with that other person;
a mark, a scar, whatever you choose to name it.
evidence of a hadbeens and usedtobes
when you say "oh that'll never happen"
you can't really say that and mean it, because you never know.
"we'll never not be friends"
well you don't know that now do you?
"i'll never leave you,"
well, we can't say that either now can we?
i took great care to make sure that when i said something like that,
it had depth in it.
of course, just one of my statements has backfired and proved me wrong
but believe me,
everything else hasn't
like when i said,
"i'll never love another like i loved you"
i know that for sure, because you were so special to me.
"there'll never be anyone like you"
that much is true too because you can find your mr perfect and know that you've lost him,
or you're losing him
"it won't happen again"
how can i promise you it won't?
a one time mistake was all it was and i've been burnt enough to know.
i won't ever ever let it happen again,
and we are all capable of controlling these things.
like when i said
"i'll never go clubbing again without you"
i havn't, unless it's a non-alcholic party and you know about it
just give me one more try for the sake of our love,
just give me one more chance, cos i can't give you up.
can't have one more day without you in my life
i can never find another boy like youplease?

and there is no question about, being happy anymore
it's all over nowold films speak volumes and at oh such just-right times
"she's pregnant," you told me
i didn't have the heart to remind you that i had been there watching the scene unfold
i heard her quiet voice, heard it build into hysteria as she asked what you both were to do now.
felt your frustration as you forgot that i was there
i walked away, crying
"she's pregnant," you told me, and you turned to leave
"it's alright" i was saying through my tears,
"we'll pull through, it'll be okay"
you shot me a confused look, before saying
"what? i don't want to stay with you. i love her, i'm not staying.
on top of that, she's pregnant."
for a full moment, i guess
as consciousness seeped into my dreams, i grasped the feelings you felt that night when i told you.
oh the hurt and the heartbreak,
but even more to a certain extent!
as far as i can feel in what is nothing more than my dream of course
because,
because you didn't want to be with me anymore
and you left
but oh, it just can't possibly be

this pang of realization,
this sudden crazy feeling which i'll just admit,
isn't really that sudden,
of missing you
and i'm just missing you like ohsofucking much,
missing you like utterly crazy
and in this moment of weakness,
i want you to know i love you
i love you so so much
and i don't want to be without you,
ever

jude and i;
i look shitty but he looks better in this picture. he's fourteen
meet louisa, quiet and shy for like the first ten minutes of meeting her
she's 16
pictures, as promised.
she took my testimonials down
perhaps it started getting too painful for her
i can't blame anyone but myself,
and no one believes me anymore
another 2.5km today and yes, it felt good.
nice, refreshing and my body's aching like crazy
enough small talk, i need to get a life,
i'm fucking loserish now
i miss my cousins):
even though we only knew each other for two days
they bought us famous amos and chocolates,
Louisa said she chose em herself!
i know, she's a darling(:

and those time are
slippin out of reach
and those times are
blurry i can't see
and i miss them,
but they ain't coming back to me
oh joy,
my life couldn't get any better
i'm gonna go running later,
it's been a great outlet
i did 2.5km last night and already my legs are aching
bet you never woulda thought charis went running
haha
anyway,
today was great, before the news hit me
spent lunch with my cousins from malaysia, my dad's side.
had dinner with them last night too
i know i know, i don't really talk about my cousins.
haha
but i've got lots of them all over the place to be honest
as usual, the parents remember the times we ran around half naked with each other in the courtyard(they've got pictures and videos!)
but on the other hand,
both of us don't remember that
it's quite cute,
we're the same age, Louisa and i
and Jude and Janice are the same age
hung out at tm while our mothers caught up on the years they lost
took neoprints
jude's glasses got crushed, like ohmygawd
today was pretty much it.
my sister's broken out in like crazy rashes and i have to take her to the doctors
i havn't got my sweet sixteen party planned out so i might just do whatever it was i was planning on doing by myself
i'm getting pissed off and restless now,
i'm done crying
everything's so painful that it's numb, so numb
you'll never let me forget. you'll never ever let me forget.
you'll always make me pay for it, and maybe i deserve that
those moments, barely under my fingertips

the person who filled out this questionaire before me did a bad job

baby you're all that i want,
when you're lying here in my arms
i'm finding it hard to believe
we're in heaven
love is all that i need
and i found it there in your heart
it isn't hard to see
we're in heaven

i need you like water,
like breath,
like rain
i need you like mercy from heaven's gates
there's a freedom in your arms
that carries me through
i need you
cause i feel so safe with you
that you could say that, mean it with all your heart
and in the end
i changed that
no sorrys will ever in a million years express how sorry i really am
in the end,
you gave me the safety i craved
and i took yours away
you'll always throw it back at me,
every chance you get
and i need to let you do that because i deserve it
Yet at the very same time,
i need to let go
i know i was wrong,
i'm sorry
and i need to stop hating myself
i need to acknowledge the folly of it all and leave it behind
you might think that it's a million times harder for you than it is for me
well it's not
it's painful for you
and as much as i dont want to admit it,
it's just as bad for me
because i've just hated myself so much for what i've done.
okay,
so now we all know don't we?
i hurt the four people that's made the biggest impact on my life
define love;
"do you love me?"
and how can i tell you that now,
after all that i've done
there's nothing i can tell you,
i cannot make you believe
like i can't make alastair believe
i love you,
both of you,
each in different ways,
but with all my heart
and without a single doubt
don't you see how much you mean to me?
why does everything i do,
at least right now,
just seem to contradict that?
won't you believe me?
won't you believe me?
i'm desperate for answers now
i'm searching, clawing at each possibility of an answer
for anything, and for everything
for my actions
and my reactions
"will you be with me?" i had asked
because with my world crashing around me and the debris catching my hair
i just needed someone
i know i do
i asked, i asked you but you said that as much as you'd be here for me,
you had to let go of me
as much wrong as i've done,
i'll admit now
how much i need someone to just
just be with me right now,
on my climb back up,
journey of self discovery,
as well as this new world i seem to be stepping into with the new school and whatnot
i really do need someone
except,
i pushed away,
the one person who loved me so much,
and who i loved
more than anything or anyone else in the world
undeserved as it is,
i need someone to just,
be with me as i try
as i try again
"yes, but there're parts where i can't"
and i know that.
but somehow it's not quite enough
because if it were you,
you'd tell me
"i've never not been with you have i?"
and i'd know
that the world is just,
the right way up, round like i once knew it to be
and the moon
isn't square
right now,
i've disappointed so many people
and i've got to, just got to
tell you, show you,
just how much i love you
tell you how sorry i am for everything that's happened
ask you, beg you,
to just
believe me
and well,
for now,
i have to bear with the silence which rings in my ears
watch the silent films which keep playing over and over and fucking over again in my head
replay my mistake and ask why i did what i did
how i could do it
no, i won't get over it just yet
and i don't expect you to so soon either
somehow i get a feeling,
that it's gonna be a long while for the both of us
how can i tell you how sorry i am?
how can i make you believe how much i love you
for now,
i suppose i have to content myself with telling you i love you
and either hearing a stony silence or hear you chuckle softly to yourself in disbelief
i'll have to content myself with texting you i love you
and hope you believe my words
even when you don't reply me
after all,
i deserve it
and it's not surprising, it can't be
after all i've done to you
i've got echoes in my head
i've been crying again
i'm going to stop cutting myself
even if it takes me seeking for professional help
because
it's just really terribly stupid if i grow up to be a mother
who cuts herself
will you be with me?
and it's strange how you would be the one who says i make you feel safe
but i think
that unknown to the both of us,
it was really quite the opppsite
i didn't know then, how much i needed you
how much i loved you
you, the one man who loved me enough to stay
because the last man who told me he'd always love me left,
walked right out the door
and my tears, my pleads,
wouldn't bring him back
yes, you were different
you are different
and you still mean the world to me
do you believe that?
do you,
believe me?
that safety and security i knew i'd always find right there in your arms
i don't deserve that anymore do i,
my darling?
will you ever forgive me?
will i ever forgive myself? can i?
will you be with me?
because i feel safest with you

Once you hit the ground,
the only way you got left is up
and so, it's a long climb
but there you have it
oh yes,
caused by my very own stupidity
and i deserve everything i've had to go through
but it'll never compare
anyway,
had lunch with veeektor today
and
yes, it was a great lunch
good food and the best heart to heart talk i've had in ages
i needed someone to talk to in length i guess
needed some substantial advice
even though the stuff he says clearly show his lack of faith in the human race
haha
and well yea
it meant a hell lot
SO
it's sunday morning, 2.40am
and i didnt get a call on friday
SO
i really don't know what it means
or if i'm starting school coming monday
SO
God, please help me because i'm starting to freak out here
BUT
i might have myself good news about my art(grin)
AND
about my sweet sixteen which i decided, only today to have again (double grin)
now, what i had planned to do on my sweet sixteen(when i decided i didnt deserve a party, which i still dont to be honest)
is for me to know and deeply consider if my party plan fails
(hint: i'll be alone!)
i'll contact you guys, someway somehow
anyway
church was great today
kinda felt like a spiritual version of my meeting with alastair on friday
wonderfulwonderfulwonderful
got pissed after church
and spilled a whole buncha stuff out to jo
which really helped to be honest
and now,
here i am
so many unsaid words
you might be dying to hear
but no,
not now
believe me darling, will you? oh please, believe me
here i am
once again
i call out to You
for i know that You hear
every cry
You are listening
no matter what state
my heart is in
You are faithful,
to answer
with love that is true
and a hope that is real
as i feel
Your touch
You bring a freedom
to all that's within
in the safety of this place
i'm longing to
pour out my heart
to say that I love You
pour out my heart
to say that i need You
pour out my heart
to say that i'm thankful
pour out my heart
to say that You're wonderful
i havn't said this for a while,
but you know,
God, You're wonderful(:
my appetite's gone beserk
i can't eat a lot, and i feel like throwing up when i taste oil or
erm
some kind of foods for that matter
like they stay on my lips, freeze
and i feel my body already rejecting it and the thought of consuming anything
suddenly seems disgusting
last night i had dinner though
and today, lunch
and after church
a whole bunch of oily stuff
so don't worry
i'm not gonna end up with anorexia or anything
never should've,
how could i and hurt you so?
i'm here, please hold me
i want you
i'm so sorry
will you?
ever
forgive
me?
pictureless post, you might notice
well the pretty picture's gone in my life too
suffer with me for a moment
though you won't feel half the pain,
but then, you didn't do what i did, did you?

It can happen to
Anyone of us, anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'Cause I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to
Anyone of us, say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take my heart will break
'Cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
he means nothing to me
I swear every word is true
don't wanna lose you
but we weren't just anyone though
feeble excuses,
and all i can say is how sorry i really really am

Hello, darlin', nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as handsome as you used to be
How's your new love? Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know means so much to me
What's that, darlin? "How'm I doin'?"
Guess I'm doin' all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn
What I'm trying to say is "I love you and I miss you"
"And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong"
Look up, darlin', let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time
Thank you, darlin', may God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer to the thing you seek to find
Goodbye, darlin', gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true
And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin',
I'll be waiting for you
They all ask me how,
how could i?
i don't have an answer,
i just know,
that i hurt so deeply, one of the people i love most
The only man i've felt loved and cared about me,
the only man i've loved this much.
i'm sorry,
i'm so so sorry.
Yet i know that my sorrys will never, in a lifetime,
be enough.
never
as much as i know i don't deserve it,
i can't help wanting you,
to still want me back
goodbye darling,
gotta go now.
gotta try and find a way, to lose these memories
of a love, so warm and true
and if you should ever find it in your heart to
forgive me
come back darling, i'll be waiting for you

i would give the world,
to have us back the way we were
the world,
to take away all your tears and hurt
there can never be a reason for this kinda thing,
for someone so intolerable of these kind of spineless, reasonless decisions,
it's safe to say, that yes, i do quite hate myself
there's so much i could say,
in feeble attempts to excuse my sorry self
so many reasons i could almost make myself believe
but i won't do that, no i won't
because there isn't a point in doing that
why should i pretty up something that is so ugly,
i couldn't face it myself
why carry on a lie?
there's a million other ways i could've handled this
for one,
couldn't i have just feigned ignorance?
or maybe lie a little
i didn't though,
because i loved you enough to need you to know
i'm sorry i ruined everything,
i'm sorry i ruined us

you mean the world to me you know?
i'm staying right here,

Happy 21st Bella(:
omg. it's like such a big deal ya

"whatever, i don't really give a flying fuck"
haha. the best, without a doubt.
and shit man,
you guys gotta read her post on education.
check out:
take the time to read it, and don't make yourself sound dumbass and brainless by saying
"her post too long and cheem"
because you know,
ultimately,
you do look just a tad bit stupid
all's going quite well for me now i'd say
it's good, it's good
i got prayed for today
haha
wow
parsley, sage,
rosemary and rhyme
roses are red and the violets are mine
innocence runs like a child without shoes in the wild
Dawn wrote this,
it's absolutely beautiful and simple
i'm not quite sure what to blog about today
it was a very nice, relaxing day
fun and beautiful in it's own way
i'm having a fuckloada problems planning my sweet sixteen,

Friday, March 02, 2007
so i was flipping through friendster
you know, like i usually do
aaand well. i started thinking about times with the musical cast
and the time now
it is rather sad i suppose,
that we're not all as close as before
and that so many things have happened since
especially where the teachers come in you know,
we were really close
maybe i let them down in some way
maybe
maybe with these kinda things, productions,
you're supposed to love and hug and promise to keep close but in reality
one's supposed to forget anything ever existed
i'm a different girl from the one who did the musical
i have a feeling, the one who did the musical is the mysterious girl alastair fell in love with
a part of me which faded as i grew older,
a part of me which eroded with harsh comments and slight unfair treatment
of course, coupled with my love for body modification which grew with each piercing i got.
a part of me which is probably still inside, to be very honest
trusting, loving, caring, bulimic (i'm kidding! HAHA)
but no, really.
it's just you know,
as i spent more time with school, i changed to be someone who was more guarded
unwilling to ever be vulnerable again
i stopped being so trusting and though i do still care for many people,
there's something just a bit different
a big part of me has gone
"what the hell"
and that's my biggest change i guess
of course inside, i'm still pretty much the same
it's just the more "heck everything" i become,
the more i get pierced and tattooed
one thing i must make clear,
is that i absolutely love body modification
the me in the musical loved body mods too,
it's just that i would take special care to ensure that whatever tattoos or
piercings i got, it would be very well hidden to avoid getting into any trouble with the school.
in fact, i would even go to the extent of just not getting the piercing if it would be in too obvious a place
ie; my lip/eyebrow
but guess what now?
it's not just that the more you pierce the more you figure out ways to hide the piercings,
it's that
i couldn't really care anymore
i think that small part of me which died,
is rather a shame
but what's worse, i feel,
is the reason why i became the person i am today
without a doubt,
it's thankyouverymuch school
i think back you know,
to all the times we spent stealing mrs tan's shoes
to the hours i spent with clara singing and singing and singing
i think about the pressure that was put on me to be a role model
and i remember clearly,
how no matter how hard i tried,
it wasn't quite enough
i remember how painful it got,
and how i realized how one has to let go of these people you hold so close,
so dear to you
guess that's why it wasnt half as painful after ACSI's The Birds
of course, there are always those you keep close to,
like from The Father's Hand:
clara
let, steff and nat to a certain extent
and mrs tan
or from the birds:
ivan, asher
oh wells
i can't say i regret what i've become
i just feel,
you know parents talk about influences and how they make you who you are
yea well
guess what the school made me into
hell, i can't wait to get out.
hopefully sooner than expected
secondary school made me grow up,
it built up the walls around people like me
school gave me an honest preview of the hell hole the real world is
