i want to be your man
i want to be your woman
i just want to be yours
to the moon to these pages,
i’ll hum your name in reply
to your silly questions
i made the stars for you,
but they don’t shine bright without you
beneath them and in my arms
this shop is so lonely without you
i stumble upon your old books,
i never knew you loved me
until it was too late

Storms We Cannot Weather
A Good Omens found poem, Crowley POV
(notes at the end)
(cited version here)
I used to sit all alone in the dark
You fall….and...
There was no reason. No explanation
I prayed that God would be forgiving
But...
Do you remember that day when we met?
Right from the start
I can’t quite explain...
But the grace of your eyes can see good in me
Suddenly...my life doesn’t seem such a waste
Why aren’t you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
So I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask.
Neither should you.
And then...I fell in love with you...
You say that love is not that easy
Following their rules
Following the path of least resistance
Bound by suffocating secrets
“This is Heaven, what I truly want”
But they don’t understand who you are
“How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?”
I believe there’s a way you can love me
Listen….we won’t tell anyone
They won’t get to us
You might think I’m incapable of loving a soul like yours
Still I say there’s a way for us
My darling, my sweetheart
You’ve been so lonely in the name of being holy
It’s not that the darkness can’t touch our lives
Yet there’s still this appeal
The hopes of one day…
I don’t quite know how to say how I feel…
All the times I could have…
Oh I just want to….
I have loved you for a thousand years
I will love you until my dying day
You’re still my favourite
And I’m willing to break myself
Asking if you love me
Darling, don’t be afraid
We’ve nothing to prove
We don’t need anything, or anyone
Is it possible to say….baby, let’s run away
We can escape….away from all of this
It’s different this time
Just you and I
Just our hands clasped so tight
Just kiss like real people do
‘Til all that remains is the arms of an angel
But love comes slow….and it goes so fast.
Is my timing that flawed?
Who are you to tell me who to be?
I don’t want your gold.
If you don’t know that by now then you don’t know me that well.
You played the martyr for so long that you can’t do anything wrong
Some things never do change
That’s the lesson that you teach me
In some sad way I already knew
I tried to give reasons...a thousand good reasons
And in the end we’ll fall apart
I’ve done everything I know to try to make you mine
I know that I shouldn’t even try
It’s a waste of time
You say you’re leaving?
You’re already gone
You’ve gone too far
You broke my heart
You forgave
And I won’t forget
There are storms we cannot weather.
And I think I’m going to miss you for a long, long time.
Notes:
This is a hyperfixation my brain had while listening to music while driving.
I kept getting stuck on “this line is so Crowley-coded, but the song as a whole doesn’t fit so I can’t put in on my Good Omens playlist”, and then my autism gave me this idea.
These lines are all direct quotes from songs from my road trip playlist.
I spent hours getting the full lyrics to all the songs I'd saved while driving, and uploading them into qualitative analysis software so that I could pull quotes and organise by theme. I did a whole masters level dissertation based around found poetry, so it was kinda fun to do this again.
Formatted the best I could within the limits of what Tumblr will let me do.

I need an edit of the Infeffable Husbands with the new song from Mika Apocalypse Calypso.
To all the good people who can do that, please feed me!
Just look at the lyrics:
"Tant que l'on s'enlace on existe,
On se rend immortels devant l'apocalypse.
En faisant l'amour on résiste,
Regarde moi, prend moi la main"
"As long as we embrace eachother we exist,
We are immortal facing the apocalypse
Make love we resiste,
Look at me, take my hand"
PLEASE
