but indeed there is relief, a calm and ease
in finally letting go
letting go of the things I hold dear
lovers, beliefs, hopes and dreams
is this some great realization?
or a lazy resignation?
but all will eventually be lost, wither and die
pointlessly pursuing what ends in emptiness
the more I age
the emptier I become, the more hollow
the more I live, the less meaning life offers
nothing fills me, everything exhausts me
nothing satisfies me, an unending yearning
there is no rest, only chaos and restlessness
so I give up this pointless fight,
better to be lost and relieved
.

7 days, I did not let the flowers die
then I talk about “giving up”, daft indeed.
the dichotomy of girlhood
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't comin' back

M.L.Rio, “If We Were Villains.”
i look at her waves
and that beautiful turquoise
watch her dance the way she loves
as she makes soothing noise
i stand on the sand
and let the water reach my toes
it makes me feel much better
reliefs me of my woes
but i never go in too deep
i'm afraid i won't come back out
what if my legs get caught in seaweed
and they'll pull me 'till i drown?
because in the end, she has no owner
she's certainly not mine
but she's so hipnotizingly beautiful
i'm willing to die being taken by the tide
this is lowkey me tho
