She was silent when she should have spoken; she spoke when she should have been silent. Either way, guilt is her most loyal companion. And regret, too—not so much for her acts as for her failure to act.
— Elif Shafak, "There Are Rivers in the Sky: A Novel" (Knopf, August 20, 2024)

139 - if only She could breathe more hate
And again she reports in rasps Wrought a cigarette in hand.
Though, she’s only five years The younger, though, the miasma has taken Her hand And prior her sickly kiss upon My brow.
She called it her covenant - “Revenge,” For all she’d ever known was at Death’s doorstep, Save me, And the air we shared.
Air and regurgitated by the: Buses, the bludgeons, the birds, And the bias, People of only, and people, That hurt.
The ash then falls from her fingers, And soon I know I’d say
“Goodbye.”
- H.H.

The saddest goodbye is when you still want to hold on, but you need to let go.

He was seized by a yearning to go back to Moonwell, where at least there was company, however reluctant.

🎉If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog.
Tbh, I’m not ready yet to disclose information about myself so randomly online. In March 2022, my Instagram account got hacked when the hacker used an account which he stole from one of my friends. 2 years before that, I’m surprised I kept an intentional hacker at bay when he was impersonating Alexander Armstrong.

I think about this dynamic every moment of every day.
And the variation
“Your not my dad”
“I know”
“I was doing just FINE on my own/I can take care of myself”
“I know you were/can. But you shouldn’t have to, and I’ll help if you want me to”

The Reluctant
Still doesn’t feel right this time My birth seemed to me like a crime. Sleep feels wrong and wake feels decayed My only dream, a death for which I've prayed. Hands outstretched, I reach for the sun Burning fingers never felt so fun. Minutes tick, life's ran and it's gone Now I'm dead, but I don’t feel wrong.
And this is Genesis.
Warm enclosure, too warm Dark tunnel, try to forewarn Light ahead, do I dare? Open air, do I care? Don't make me live this life, It's all more than I can bear.
And this is Exodus.
Smoking cigarette, sting my soaked eyes The earth shudders, with each part that dies I can't believe, I can still feel bad Another life, I keep growing mad But now I’m dying and now I'm dead This cynicism, my only friend In an endless sea, I’m just a star I took a trip, this soul's gone far
And this is Thanatos.
Cold enclosure, too cold Light tunnel, watch life unfold Dark tunnel, what's there? Two eyes, and a piercing stare Blinded in heart, now life's anew I can't know myself So I'll settle for you.
And this is Terminus.
- Hathaway Hayes (1998)

Those involved had to travel to Hong Kong because Adli Halabi, aware that he was under suspicion for being instrumental in circulating the Westpac letters, was reluctant to enter Australia.
