paper boat

Photobucket


we sailed away on a paper boat on the quiet, grey sea away from all that can hurt.
we always found peace in a war zone, you and i, but now as we float along to our calm everything seems to crack before us in a way it never did before.
screams become mere hot breaths as the sea tries to swallow us. our paper boat starts to leak; so heavy, soggy. our snowy white saviour turns ghostly, ashen, and unfolds to the saturnine waves. breaths are weak, our bones brittle as we lay on the sinking paper. our hands interlock, each created for the other. we always pushed each other up to the surface so one of us could breathe, but we were both drowning now. our tresses flow in the water like we wish our existence did, harmoniously dancing with the sea. as we descend our lost eyes close and you whisper,
wir will nur schlafen, bitte lass uns schlafen
wir will nur schlafen, bitte lass uns schlafen
finally at peace, we fall asleep with the waves, our paper boat disintegrated and cold. 
schlafen, für immer schlafen in einer welt nicht für uns.


words by me.

the photos pretty much describe my day, but you're welcome ahah
about emma stone, yes she looked gorgeous and the dress is amazing, but I think that colour didn't fit her skin or her haircolor, I liked her better when she was brunette :)
