Akin to a rat that does not understand that the cheese perched atop a mousetrap is its kryptonite and not its salvation, I return to this subreddit in search of that which will only serve to smite me in the end: meaningful connections. I fear my own emotions and revealing said emotions to others, yet I am physically incapable of acting as an emotional void. With me, it's all or nothing.
I promise I don't look like a rat though. I'd like to think I'm more like a cat, both in mannerisms and personality. Goth-coded, hates busy places and prefers to be left alone, but will grace lucky humans with my presence when I want attention. This is one of those instances.
I'm not looking for forever. Forever is scary and I am still just a weary woman trying to make it through today, never mind forever. But allow me to fall for you this summer and this summer alone, and maybe it'll be the perfect distraction from all the heat. And then it'll all dissipate, just like a heat-induced illusion.
It's one of those nights where I probably won't be getting shut-eye until 4am, so. Keep me company, why don't you?
