Thank you so much to the deviants that donated to me! Check out some of their awesome work here:

cracks break your back. i am the girl with the false hair walking barefoot down a nameless avenue, counting my steps and the cracks in the cement. and darling, i can see you in all these things.

it's because i know you, you see. i know where you're from and how you walk and the way your cerulean eyes shine like the sun when you're happy. i've memorized the things you always say and whispered them into my pillow as i slept at night. i know your favorite color is yellow and your favorite time of year is winter because it gives you a chance to run and throw yourself into the snow as if you were a little kid again.

Just wanting to die

They say move on, that there's more out there

They don't know the love we shared
To start anew would mean forgetting you

As you moved on, I stood still
Wanting and waiting with all my will
Another girl won't fill my heart
The way you did from the very start

Screaming thunder and hurling lightning
Have you forgotten I do not fear
Such loud noises?
Threatening and belittling me

You think your wings around me
Are there for protection
Have you forgotten, child
That I have wings of my own?
Our home has become a cage
You think you have the only key?
That I cannot so easily fly
Fly away free on the open wind?
My choices are my own
I stay of my own accord
Do not
500 500 minutes ago, you broke my heart.
500 hours ago, you promised that we would never be apart.
500 days ago, I wondered if it was me you were dreaming of.
500 weeks ago, I fell in love.
500 months ago, I was without any hope.

It may take me 500 years to learn how to cope.
