[amorexmachina]

Hearts don't realize they've been lied to. They still love anyway. Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away. People fall so in love with their pain, they can't leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves. The world is full of monsters with friendly faces. You were unsure which pain is worse - the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will. Maybe loneliness is an acquired taste, or maybe it's like plunging your hand in ice water - it hurts like hell in the beginning, and then you go numb. How empty is the world. What a powerful word, future. Of all the abstractions we can articulate to ourselves, of all the concepts we have that other animals do not, how extraordinary the ability to consider a time that's never been experienced. I consider how you don't get to choose whom you're attracted to, you only get to wonder about it, retrospectively. Once someone's hurt you, it's harder to relax around them, harder to think of them as safe to love. But it doesn't stop you from wanting them. Sometimes I actually think it makes the wanting worse. I think that god has a sick sense of humor and when I die, I expect to find him laughing. Kiss me in the dark and let the music play. It's a question of lust. It's a question of trust.
