• fluxandflow commented on the post, bury 7 months, 1 week ago

    I bury my head in the pillowcase and inhale the comforting scent of my own bed.
    The sun is peeking through my curtains and the space heater woke me up a little early, but I don’t really mind.
    This is the first […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, dominant 7 months, 1 week ago

    The only difference between you and I
    Is that we have different dominant sides
    You care more than I ever could
    And all I’ll ever do is wish I could

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, scene 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    It’s just a fucking scene
    In the movie that is my life
    One scene
    That’s it
    So why is it so hard
    For me to let it go
    To get to the next one
    To stop

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, signs 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    I told him I was looking for the service road to the falls, and asked if there were signs or trail markers I could follow to help me there.
    He said, “Son, out here there are no signs. Nothing points you in the […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, breath 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    You told me to take a deep breath
    I told you it wouldn’t help
    I never use my brain
    Things get tough and I have no solutions
    Only ways to let the sadness swallow me whole
    But you have cracked open my […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, affairs 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    You and I
    We
    Are a series of affairs
    We will never stay until the morning
    We will never make each other breakfast
    Or fall desperately into each other
    No house
    No kids
    Just time filled with physical […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, despite 8 months ago

    Despite the fact that you claim to care about me
    You still hold back all your smallest secrets
    And dodge all of my warm gestures
    Without a single consideration
    How am I supposed to believe you
    And how am I […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, porter 9 months ago

    The trail is steep
    Footing is not easy on loose rocks
    And I have no porter
    To guide me to the top
    To carry my things
    To support me
    So I will keep on climbing
    Further and further
    But where the hell is the summit

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, banks 9 months, 1 week ago

    Standing along the banks of the river, it wasn’t enough for me.
    I needed the salty ocean air, the wind in my face, the feeling of irresponsibility and a carefree life.
    I wanted to get away so badly, and all it […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, concept 9 months, 1 week ago

    I’ve thought of a million concepts. A million reasons why. Hundreds of ideas. But none of them explain why I can’t stop thinking about you even when you’re 3,000 miles away.

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, holder 10 months ago

    I heard the ding as my phone lit up in the cup holder. I reached around the arm rest to pick it up from the place it had grown so accustomed to. You were offering me a home, but I couldn’t impose.

    Every time I drive by your house I feel like an agent on patrol.

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, stretcher 10 months ago

    30 compressions
    1 breath
    I tried
    They carried him out
    On a stretcher
    And they flicked on their sirens
    And drove away
    Hope was useless
    I knew he was gone

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, sonar 10 months, 1 week ago

    If the minute hand was a sonar scan
    searching for a moment
    when I wasn’t thinking of you,
    it would turn up with nothing.
    Because your eyes are at ten and two,
    and I’m staring at you
    like a kid stuck in […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, turbine 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    The turbines powered up and my grip on the arm rests tightened. What was I doing? Where was I going? Suddenly I wanted off this plane so badly that I had to clench every muscle in my body not to hop out of my seat […]

  • One strap on her overalls dangled, unhooked, just the way she liked it. She jumped from bar to bar on the playground, her pigtails bouncing along beside her like two clouds on either side of the sun. She was […]

  • We’re like children that act recklessly in class and don’t care if they’ll get detention. We danced around the halls of our childhood and brushed our fingertips along the walls of our dreams. I’ll never forget the […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, modem 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    The modem clicked as I tried to connect to the Internet. I didn’t had patience for its little hitches right now, I needed to talk to you. You’re 500 miles away and I’m sitting here with my existence relying on a […]

  • My eyes gazed down the railroad tracks, following them off into the distance until they disappeared. There was a strange sense of fear about standing where something that could kill me would soon pass through. It […]

  • fluxandflow commented on the post, chills 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    Your singing echoes across the room and chills run down the back of my spine. I try my hardest to hide a shiver. Even if I did, you’d still see the goosebumps and raised hair on my arms. You’re keen on the little things.
