This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

I feel like I go nowhere but I’m traveling thousands of kilometers an hour.
I feel like I’m going but if I think of how the spin works I don’t know if I’m coming or going.
It’s a lot to take in
Not in vain.
What happened again?
There’s a fight and the night is moving around me I’m not moving but I’m moving but I don’t feel like I’m moving
Do you see or hear or feel me?
A twinge who knows.
It’s too early in the morning.
Or late in the morning.
Don’t know why they’re fighting, I’m sure it feels important to them.
I hope it’s better sooner than later.
Even the air is perfectly contained in it
This bubble in space.
With a rock inside.
Suspended in place by what and why?
But we aren’t suspended we’re moving but are we moving or flying or falling?
If we are moving where to and why if we are flying the same but where from and if we are falling,
Where is the bottom?
But there are still people awake they seem like they enjoy their conversation they walk by
It just doesn’t seem to end that’s all when I press farther than farther there is a boundary but it doesn’t seem
Solid
Like the boundary between air and water.
I simply don’t possess the means to breach it that’s okay I suppose I don’t need to go much further after all the holes
Simply jumping within them can have no bliss because I can’t imagine
What’s on the other side of this so I wonder
But it’s very far away do you feel it pull you when you look it’s way
We haven’t traveled that far it’s under foot or above head my hearing
In this spot goes dead does it hear
Does it think?
As it consumes
Where do they go are they positive or negative?
So many questions but it doesn’t reply and when I look up
My eye is drawn back to the one I often missed
He was gone in winter and in summer I missed him.
From the rings of Saturn.
On a rock too warm and too cold at the same time.

If I could say anything to you now,
It would be that I love you.
And I’m sorry.
I didn’t ever do anything or say anything with the intent of hurting you or harming you I
Am sorry.
I wish I could explain everything
Or start over
Or know when or if… If it even started.
Or…
I at least know you have someone to hold on to should your nights grow long
Or the hours start aching past.
And most of all I just want you to feel loved because of all the people who love you.
I’m just one more.
I’m sorry I can’t promise I won’t be drunk or desperate again
I’m sorry I can’t promise the silence won’t get to me again.
I’m sorry because I know you were fine before I showed up.
And while I miss you every day,
If I stop being selfish for five seconds I’m just happy you’re alive and healthy and
Regardless of my own pain or missing someone I’ve never met or falling in love with just your voice and the soul portrayed by it
I wish I’d been satisfied with that.

Did you do it on purpose?
From this day on did you
Nudge and notice
Because you’re suddenly very loud
When I tripped on the thought
You kept me alive for a year.
Congratulations you kept me alive for a year I muttered.
I’m sorry it’s bitter,
These words are supposed to be scary like you’re telling you hate when I use this song to tear myself apart
Still,
Something.
It’s something.
Jupiter sets with the moon.
Does Saturn?
It’s your fault
Something about pickles and cowboy hats made me think
やっぱり。

It just happens.
I could ask how many second chances he wants but he doesn’t know I give them to him and he probably wishes
I’d stop.
After all I don’t give people second chances because they deserve them
I give people second chances because I’m not good enough to find anyone else.
I take what I get and his unfortunate fate is he’s all I have.
Sadly.
I don’t want to infringe upon things I’m not welcome
I don’t like being present where I’m not wanted.
I don’t like being where I know people don’t want me being.
And I’m only holding so tightly to him because I have nothing else.
I gave him my heart and he pushed it away but he stayed
He’s the only one right now who has stayed who I don’t feel like
By moving here I infringe upon her space
Or her space
Or her space
I failed to express
How profoundly impacted by rejection I am
I always realise when they won’t come looking for me
And the friends I have have better friends than me.
I miss having someone close to me.

日本語聞こえるかな
来るって来るって。
だって…
アハ
あたしはいつも使ってたけど、私で良いのかな?
だって僕から私に変わると
ばれちゃう。
秘密なんだから
私と彼
光と闇
でも違うね
彼はいつも戦いそうになっちゃうから。

I don’t think anyone can quite put into words
The feeling.
One year ago today my world stopped
Just for an instant like a punch in the gut
Like the sudden breaking of a car
Like the moment you’re in an airplane and it
Suddenly drops half a kilometre.
I don’t remember the moment just before
I remember the moment after
I hope you’re okay
Because he isn’t.
Sometimes I’m so mad at you
You’re like the big brother I never had you’re like
You always knew how to join up with the others and put into words how I felt
Even when I was trying to grow out
Still I thought of you with so much affection sometimes I
Think of Mike and your kids and your wife and I think
How could you?
But I know you feel guilt
It was the first thing I noticed when your name wouldn’t leave me alone.
Sometimes I yell at you
I didn’t give you permission to be gone how could you
I’m sorry part of me will always be the child who needed your music as the world fell around me I will return to
But I don’t want you to be gone can it be over now?
Can you come back? Could it be a joke?
I’d laugh you know. I would cry and scream and laugh.
I would call you a fucking liar but I would be so relieved.
I miss you.
They miss you too
I wish I could tell them I see you everywhere
Occasionally complete strangers they mimic what you’ve just said
A smile
Or a wink.
Like they know something I’m missing
I wish I was missing it.
I wish the joke was you’re still here somewhere
Somewhere out there.
How was Vega?
Do the stars shine so bright from there, can you see our sun,
I miss you.
I wish we could have met I’m sorry I get so angry you’re not here
I know you didn’t want to hurt anyone
I know where you were I keep going there.
One second
How could you
And hurt and anger and resentment towards the end
I miss you
And pull on a string that’s been cut there’s no one on the other side we were connected
No one will ever be able to tell me different
You keep visiting me, but I never remember.
Yearning for and loving and
The hole that’s left when
One light goes out in the world
I wish you’d stayed Chester.
I wish you had stayed with me.
I’ll always be selfishly
Wishing you were here with me
Earth is so beautiful
But so big and empty
I didn’t know how much I needed you until you were taken away from me and them and everyone
By the demons.
I know they’re hard to beat, I know they’re mean I know they hurt you I know they tear you apart from the inside and you long for someone who can keep them away or learn their signs and
Notice.
You tried so hard and I don’t blame you I will never blame you for being in that place I know where it is what it’s like how it feels that moment it smirks and says
Just do it.
No one will care.
I miss you.
And I care.
And I’m so sorry they took you to a place where you couldn’t see yourself as
The wonderful, talented, passionate, beautiful, bright
And one of a kind
Star that should have never gone out in the sky.
But I know it’s hard to see your own brightness,
From where the light it created.
I miss you.
I didn’t have to help you leave behind reasons to be missed,
You did that all on your own.
