AND THE COYOTES HOWLED by Lev St Valentine

[alonolaart]

Inspired by Lev St. Valentine's "Miss you. Want to get noodles with you. Disregard this."

This poem has been bouncing around in my brain ever since I read it. Wish I could share a beer with you. Miss you. Table in the back.

Some life experiences that may apply to you, Lev St. Valentine

An anonymous request: "for when you love(d) someone, but you know they're better off without you"

“It ends or it doesn’t. That’s what you say. That’s how you get through it. The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn’t. If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. If they don’t come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself alone. Adapt. Adjust. It ends or it doesn’t. It ends or it doesn’t. We do not perish.”

Letters from Medea, Salma Deera (via) // Hope You're Well. Please Don't Read This., Lev St. Valentine (via) // It Ends or it Doesn’t, Caitlyn Siehl // Little Weirds, Jenny Slate //Sue Zhao // Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, Richard Siken // Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Jeanette Winterson (via) // Beginning with O; “Love Lines”, Olga Broumas (via) // Wax 'N' Wayne, Eileen Myles

“You hate Dazai-san right.”

“Don’t act like a detective! That bastard is just.. just very, y’know.. It’s not hate.”

Looks like some complicated feelings.
