Sign me up!

"I'll just pray, until I run out of words,
then I'll howl."

I'd like to sign up!

I light a match.
Still the heart won't burn.

I'd like to sign up!

But don't tell me about freedom.
Just let me see his face.

Yes, please!

When I call his name,
my voice is swallowed up by the roar of machines.

Me, as always.

I know we can't give each other any more
or any less than what we have.

So I sit here,
gnawed down by the teeth
of my nightmares.

finch is so here for this.

I turn everything into a question
because it keeps the curious at bay.

Me please!

I perform my desperate acts only in my thoughts.

Can I get a second prompt?

Of course!

A man needs ammunition,
because a bullet at the right time
accomplishes the ultimate divorce
and simplifies business.

Hi -

Thank you for the new prompt, but I'm finding the implied violence triggery. Would it be possible to have a different second prompt?

Thanks (and I don't mean to be such a special snowflake).

Eep! Of course you can have a different prompt! I'm very sorry that it's triggering for you. DD: Hopefully this one will be easier for you.

You, me, these withered flowers,
so many hearts tied in a knot,
given and taken away.

Thank you!

Sometimes it's really hard to anticipate what will trigger. This new one is lovely! Thank you again.

It's been a while, but I think I'm ready to play again...

now it's too late,
now love's a letter stamped "return to sender,"
stamped "surrender" on delivery.

I'd certainly like to give it a go.

I tasted blood,
as morning arrived, wearing its disguise of sunlight.

I'd like to give it a go again.
Signing up under this name: wishfulclicking.

We part with a brief kiss like two strangers
who miss the act of pressing one mouth
against another, yet resist, resist.
