last seen > 02:17am: possibility crushed to ant <3
the defeated sigh of asking
so asker waits to be asked
out of bounds or no contest
possibility crushed to ant
fear of failure a certainty
scarred memory
typing... 03:44am: rum n ginger beer taste good :/
or damned probability
tentatively sip sorrows
cold side of bed never warm
warm side of heart strange
famished instead haunted
now harrowed turns harrowing
delivered <<< 04:08am: u still up? wyd rn (double text) :/
tired cliches or touching tributes
write rewrite the script
of human misfits all
reaching reaching reaching
for invisible trust
connect or concede ground
