I think I'm coherent now.
This treatment, yet again, is the most draining thing I’ve ever felt. Worse then surgery, worse then being on a pick line and having an NG tube. I’ve finally gotten up to answering texts and checking facebook. I wish I had brought my computer with me. I can’t stand the constant backspacing I have to do because of unfamiliar keys. I’m very, tired. I can’t think of...

And I’m scared, I’m so fucking...
The Sky Painter
There’s someone who paints the sky, with their eyes, each day, every way. They’re alone now, today, every day, some ways. They had a wife/husband and friends/children but now they’re all gone (you lived too long, just one more song). The red paint arrives in the morning or early evening (suppliers work strange hours). They always have a surplus of blue, white and grey (massive...
