How do I say, I'm standing guard over your solitude in Dutch?

About Me





I know You’re momma didn’t raise no sissy, so it's best if I believe that You’ve bounced back and been born again, but in the bottom left corner of dreams in the dark spot where it gets windy and hollow I can still see you flailing, full torque and tender, heart pounding from being pulled under, feet bleeding from bracing for endings, tongue dying to curse Forever because promises murder us backwards when people like me don’t keep them.

Me and My Sweet &hearts

My Interests

music, train rides
bandits movies, tea, kissing, things in real time, driving, violin, hands, people that make me laugh, people that make me cry, people that most people question, thing without an answer, "it's not ok to kill a robot" late night calls, sexy sexy eyes, punk rock girls that can't handle hugs, naps, travel liner notes, patches, being alone
