"And when their sorrowful day had come, They were taken from the Tower by the archers And led straight to the place of sacrifice. Thereupon, Rochford, as the most suitable one To comfort his friends in God, While embracing them, came to exhort them Together, and then each one individually, To endure this parting with constancy And to accept this punishment willingly, So as to gain the gift of God's great blessing. [...] Rochford wanted to offer himself first, As if carrying the sign of victory* Against death, for you would not believe The great power with which he scorned it And the manner in which he conducted himself." The story of the death of Anne Boleyn : a poem by Lancelot de Carle, JoAnn DellaNeva (Translator, Editor, Writer of added commentary) *"Traditionally, the sign of victory against death (and sin) is the cross of Christ. Carle is depicting the scene of this execution (or 'sacrifice', as he [describes]) as a reminiscence of Christ's crucifixion.

You kicked out the stage lights, but you're still performing.

[fideidefenswhore]

but if i'm all dressed up, they might as well be looking at us.

'come here,' i whispered in your ear in your dream as you passed out...oh lord i think about jumping, off of very tall somethings, just to see you come running, and say the one thing i've been wanting, but no—

i sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick / my face was gray, but you you wouldn’t admit that we were sick.

(and i wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people-pleaser—)

no one wanted to play with me as a little kid; 

so i've been scheming like a criminal ever since 

(to make them love me, and make it seem effortless) 

this is the first time i've felt the need to confess —
