Infected Fleshbag

In addition: (I wrote something for you. "You show me yours, I'll show you mine...")

"Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything --
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming.

Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso...

To...break down, and cease all feeling;
Burn now, what once was breathing --
Reach out, and you may take my heart away.

Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy --
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully,
Now watch as it destroys me.

Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo...

To...break down, and cease all feeling;
Burn now, what once was breathing --
Reach out, and you may take my heart away.

Break down, and cease all feeling;
Burn now, what once was breathing --
Reach out, and you may take my heart away.

I left it all behind, and never said goodbye.
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye.
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye...
I left it all to die.

I saw its birth, I watched it grow,
I felt it change me.
I took the life, I ate it slow...
Now it consumes me.

I...break down, and cease all feeling;
Burn now, what once was breathing --
Reach out, and you may take my heart away.
Break down, and cease all feeling;
Burn now, what once was breathing --
Reach out, and you may take my heart away...

...Heart away."

I'm sick. It's no fun. I take far too many pills -- one hospital-medicine at nine, another hospital-medicine half an hour later, aspirin throughout the day, another hospital-medicine at four, and a little pink pill to help me sleep. I feel doped up a lot. It sort of makes me giggle. I hate pain, you see. I hate internal pain. Inflicted on the skin? Not a problem. But I get a little psychotic-paranoid if something's wrong with me on the inside. I've had to see a doctor twice in the last three weeks. Woopty-doo.

Here's the thing: I worry every day that I won't be well again.

Here's the thing: I really miss you.

Here's the thing: I'm waiting for you to show up and sweep me away. Honestly.

I wish I had something interesting and silly and thought-provoking to say, but I don't. I wish I'd find something cathartic to study, but I can't. I wish I had a pair of arms that would hold me -- even if I raged and sobbed and laughed all at the same time. But I'm not sure I do.

Here's the thing: I am at my rope's end.

Here's the thing: I can't get enough of you telling me.

Thirteen hours, thirteen apostles.. and all I thought about was the crucifix..

Maybe it was the blood, falling for you.

Just remember that the mind is a muscle. When someone tells you to relax every muscle in your body, your mind is a muscle that needs to be relaxed. I think that this is one of those moments you need to take so that you don't get a cramp of the head. Let your mind go on hiatus for a while. You may find that it's nice to blend in with the sheep for a few hours or even days.
