Music
You came back, and you brought floods
Wearing a necklace made of hearts that you dragged through the mud
And I guess I wasn't quite sure what to say to you...
But then I saw mine, almost reached out to grab it
Said, "Darling, you're the only one on earth to have it"
But now I'm not so sure that that was true, after the hell you put him through
But there was no short pain this time
Just the ghost of your presence compressing my chest like a mine
An unshakable absence like most of my insides crawled out through my mouth and went west but that's fine
We cast our hearts in plaster
We imagined our bodies were fashioned from stone
But they chipped at the brick and the mortar
We found out that we're only layers of skin hiding bone
And our bones are like chains old and rusted in the rain
They're gonna snap when the weight shifts

My name's Brandon. I struggle through every day with a broken heart. I feel like I'm years behind where I should be. I'm 12 years old inside. I love spring and fall. I got my ears pierced in November. My friends are my family. I'm a photographer. If I couldn't go to shows anymore, I'd die (music is my life). I'm as close with my second cousin-once-removed as I am with my first cousins. People often mistake my brothers and I for each other.

A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say. "May new sufferings torment your soul." - Soren Kierkegaard
