The Rush of the Fall
Posted on April 20, 2011 at 10:22pm 5 Comments 0 Favorites
I'm standing at the precipice of inevitable heartache.
I can't stop myself from taking the plunge, even with the knowledge that this will leave me shattered.
Our heartaches create us.
We love and we live and we hurt and we're burned and we learn and we go on to love again.
I am who I am for the people I've loved, whether they've loved me back or not.
Bring on the rush of the fall, my landing will not be soft but the landing is not why we jump.
Exhibits A, B and C

Exhibit A:
Here is the man who loved the idea of me
The man who didn't realize I have flaws
The one that forgot my humanity

When I think about you, all I can think about is how I shouldn't feel this strong about you. When I'm wrapped up in your arms, all I can think about is how I never want to leave. You've got me heart and soul, begging on my knees; but you don't need me like I need you.You've weaved a spell over me, you've got me hooked and I'm finding it hard to let go. If you don't want me baby, please release me. If you can't love me back, undo this voodoo.
Leave Me in the Dark

Why'd you have to tell me?
I didn't want to know, you could have left me in ignorant bliss and I would have been fine.
Instead, I have to nod and smile and pretend I'm alright; when inside, I'm screaming.
And tonight, when I'm lying in bed I'll play it in my head over and over again.
Yeah, I'll probably cry and wail about it.
So next time could you keep it to yourself and just leave me in the dark?

Gay, Taken, Uninterested

All the good men are gay or taken or uninterested.
With any luck, they classify as all three.
I'm young and I'm losing hope that I'll find what I'm looking for.
The man I want, the one I'm searching for is a mythological creature.
I'm convinced he doesn't exist.
If he does, then he's probably gay or taken or uninterested, with my luck he's all three.

Profile Information
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- About Me:
- My name's Rachel W.
I go to school full-time and work part-time, majoring in English Lit.
Reading and Writing are my bag, working on my writing and expanding the list of books I've read.
Extreme music lover, I don't spend much time in silence, constantly searching to add to my library.
I've got theatre in my soul, and will forever consider myself an actor though I don't perform as much as I'd like.
I don't believe in excluding something when you've never experienced it, I'm out to experience everything, I'll try anything once just to say I did.
From "Ceremony" by Leslie Marmon Silko
"I will tell you something about stories,
[he said]
They aren't just entertainment.
Don't be fooled.
They are all we have, you see,
all we have to fight off illness and death.
You don't have anything
if you don't have the stories.
Their evil is mighty
but it can't stand up to our stories.
So they try to destroy the stories
let the stories be confused or forgotten.
They would like that
They would be happy
Because we would be defenseless then.
He rubbed his belly.
I keep them here
[he said]
Here, put your hand on it
See, it is moving.
There is life here
for the people."

JMac said… - You grew up in WA too AND lived in Texas for a while. What a crazy coincidence! I'm living in TX right now, close to the border. Yep, hate it, but unfortunately stuck here for a couple years. I'm visiting my folks next week, they live by Mount Rainier, so I'm REALLY looking forward to the rain, trees, and some laid back non country folk. :) Real music -hello. Which btw I LOVE your music also. Man, great taste and such variety. I like your greenefairy title, I'm a huge fan of Amy Brown.
I'm so looking forward to reading more of your work and getting to know you better! So glad you're here. :) ~Jodi
