saying that the heart is like _______ is the greatest compliment of all, because a heart separated from the things it loves (even the shapeless, every day looking things, hearts like boiled beans, can be hopeful and uncompromising in how beautiful, how beatific, how everything) is not a heart

this reminded me of lindsay's post. you two are so amazing. or or or a heart like a wooden stake.

i'm so lame.

[ofbirdsandwires]

yep, I shamelessly stole the idea.
I wanted to see what other people came up with.

You're so cool
You're so cool
You're so cool

what's that from?
i think that if i were god, i might be sad, too. i might try to be happy over all the wonderful things i created, but it'd be a long and lonely business presiding over an endless universe for an infinite amount of time.
it's a sad business even believing in a god, i guess.
boy. wears me out thinking about it.

the heart like a snuffed candle
the heart like a prickly end of a velcro strip missing it's softer side
the heart like a broken record
the heart like a muddy footprint in white snow
the heart like a rotting chrysanthemum
the heart like an unanswered phone call
the heart like a letter to home

[oh_marvelous]

at least, that is my heart right now. yours are beautiful. you and lindsay have a way with thinking that i just can't comprehend.

Your heart is such a beautiful thing. "the heart like a prickly end of a velcro strip missing it's softer side"

the heart like the breath before the prayer
the heart like the Mississippi river
the heart like the city, it sings
the heart like knowing a name before you hear it
the heart like letting go of ocean love affairs
the heart like "I love you. Thousands and thousands of miles and I love you"

the heart like letting go of ocean love affairs

did you see that in my userinfo? it was an interest of mine because tyler asked me to marry him at a beach right on the atlantic. that just ruined me, in such a good and bad way. it makes me love you a lot.

the heart like freshly ground coffee, freshly brewed coffee, fresh coffee stains on a white cup
the heart like the handwriting you've been waiting for
the heart like I’m sorry, I just can’t
the heart like glass between your teeth
the heart like a library
the heart like ,” she said
the heart like a rubber stamp
the heart like the lightning, the thunder and the storm
the heart like spoiled milk, like spilt milk
the heart like I know you from somewhere
the heart like light through water, refracting and coming up as something we don't know and yet know completely

[ofbirdsandwires]

the heart like always, all the time, even when we’re sleeping
the heart like the cold side of the pillow
the heart like a broken radio, a busted lip, a chipped tooth
the heart like a Siren and a siren
the heart like a stone set for sinking

the heart like building hotels on Park Lane property in Monopoly

I love that.

[ofbirdsandwires]

the heart like a bottle of perfume
the heart like “you were sick, but now you’re well again, and there’s work to do”
the heart like a deadline
the heart like a drum roll
the heart like a line drawn, a line cast, reeling and reeling
the heart like I swear I’m gonna quit this time
the heart like a promise
the heart like talk shows on mute
the heart like a business card
the heart like quote, unquote

[ofbirdsandwires]

the heart like a holy thing
the heart like walking home drunk in uncomfortable shoes
the heart like a ten car pile-up
the heart like a weapon
the heart like a victim
the heart like the rain we missed out on when we stayed indoors, bemoaning the desert of he said she said
the heart like a door that swings shut
the heart like a list that goes nowhere
the heart like an island, which is also like a continent, which is also like a lie
