j. i know you don't read this - i probably would not write this if you did - but i need to say it nonetheless: i will not be the recipient of your anger.

the folds of my brain are not deep enough for hurtful words to lodge themselves in. and my skin too soft to let anything stick for more than a few seconds. i want you to be happy, happier than you are.

----
quote of the day (sponsored by the poetic genious of ember swift):

I want to re-design this gloomy room in you with style
you said that I am like a splinter of sunshine spinning off still lake waters
like a slice of light getting under one's skin
well there is light to be found in all things ruined and shattered
here is your nagging reminder singing through the air
that sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest room we find ourselves in

(did i ever make you listen to that song? splinter? if not, then you must : http://www.emberswift.com/albums/mp3s/splinter.mp3)

(it's truly ember-esque, you have to get used to the vocals, but i think it is beautiful work.)

(i think finals and the christmas frenzy got the best of j. i know she does not mean most of what she writes.)
