How To Fade Away
amusealex:
- The absence of romantic love becomes easier to swallow when one is full on emptiness. All it takes is a ticking routine, of steady gulping and gorging at the edge of the void.
- Steer clear of all personal interaction, people will try to trick you into staying.
- Switch off your phone, it is impregnated with words and harmful emotions.
- Exsanguinate your words until the vacuum pulls your skin together like a deflated balloon. Words can’t exist where there is no space, and so emotion cannot arise.
- Do not make eye contact ever, because if someone sees into you, the lack lessens.
- Never ever inhale- this is critical. Air may impart perfumes of desires that were once ripe and in full bloom.
- Avoid touch at al costs, your skin can and will betray your desire to wither.
- Become muted, hard and impenetrable, and then go and lie on a beach. Should you ever get picked up, roar into that ear and pray you aren’t taken home to be displayed as an ornament to what once was. The only thing that can thwart your desire to disappear from here is to be captured forever as witness to what you may have been.
- Turn off the sun.
