Mama gave me music lessons,

now I play the saddest songs

[purplepirate123]

& my biggest fear

Is hurting people

So I hurt myself instead.

Now and again, I’ll catch myself amid my paranoia, peering around a door or corner multiple times to ensure absence. And I think of Elisa Lam. And I think of women. I also think- I cannot believe how easy it's become to turn women into ghosts- and women’s experiences into ghost stories.

even as you cry over pictures I place arm around you, when you deliver flowers to the dirt I stand beside you. even from beyond the grave your sweet,sweet kiss is all I dream of,my love

'The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.' is such a good line youd think its from one of those 75k fics with all lowercase titles but its not its from The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire (1924, Arthur Conan Doyle) in the middle of a scene where sherlock holmes and dr watson are unironically debating the existence of vampires

I beg for a compliment

It's not pretty

And I know it

But the way you talk about me

Is so addicting

[athousandbyeol]
