Where?

Where?

where does a thought go when it’s forgotten?

I can't 🖤

“My art teacher used to say “don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for a finished product” and I never listened. So I painted with my black paint a little too soon, a little too much, a little too dark, a little too passionate, a little too addicted to the night, I always enjoyed the starry sky. My art teacher used to say “kiet, i know that you love her, i see it, you two are my favorite couple” and I never listened. So I broke her heart at night as she gripped her chest while I did, as she hid her heart while I bit, as she held her tongue while I kissed, as she ran from me, while I chased. I always enjoyed the lustful parts, but I miss the gentle parts more. My art teacher used to say “black is dominance, black is overwhelming, and black is torture, but black must be controlled” but I never listened. Because it never made much sense, I didn’t make much sense of anything except for her. I tried to make sense out of a human being, my human being. A lover, my lover, and you know what the truth is all about? People don’t make sense. Love has no sense of direction. People are chaotic. Love is chaos. People are nature’s kiss. Love, the lips. People are timeless. Love is timed. She was natural. I was the fucking disaster. There is a quote out there that goes, and you’ll know why people are named after storms, why hurricanes are named after girls and you know what? She wasn’t any of those things, I was. I was the earthquake that shook her buildings down and they crashed into her heart; that explains the cracks. I was the wildfire that burnt through her magical forest and the rabbit lost more time; that explains Alice in wonderland. I was the calm eye of the storm that had one sweet angle and 20 more reasons to fuck her over; my insides said I love you, but my outsides said I hate you that explains the obsession, this hopeless romantic poetry bullshit. I was a flood, and her eyes the land, her eyes the gates, her eyes the drowned city. I was the big bang, and her soul the many universes within universes, the many stars followed by comet showers, the wishing stars that never came true, the first time the moon met the sun, love at first sight, forever separated, the moon crashing into the sun, night and day never being one until dawn came and twilight clouds rained her name and my name was shot across the eons of lightyears and no one hears me scream in space except for her and she does care, but these type of blackholes suck up everything! They destroy everything, a still painting dripping with black paint and I wanted to love her and all of this time I thought that she was the black paint, but it was me, who was the paint. And I took all of her light, a black hole in space kissing the suns of my theory one last time, into the darkness they went and back to the darkness that they came from. And my art teacher used to say “don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for a finished product” I finally listened. So I let go of her a few days ago. I told myself that I needed to stop. Stop talking to her like she was the sunset we all adored and how her eyes meant the world, and if it meant that she’d wink butterflies into the pit of my stomach, I’d die as a self-imploding star. So I stopped myself from being more black paint, I crossed out her face with my own fingers and kissed her one last time. My art teacher used to say “because this black paint is undoing, you cannot paint over it with white, the black is so dense, it’s raw, it’s real it stops all hints of color under it over and over it. because this is art and art is life, art is poetry and art is love, because art is everything and anything” So I became the nights she had to sleep alone, so I became the nights I cried to sleep, so I became free from her love and I finally understood my art teacher, I finally understood my ex. “black paint is the purest color and lightest of color if used correctly with the right amount of care and tender.” add a little black with white and you’ll have grey. add a little black with red and you’ll have my bleeding heart. add a little black with blue and you’ll have her bruised lips. add a little black with yellow and you’ll have her eye colors. add a little black to my soul, and you’ll have lust. add a little black to my heart, and you’ll have her. And I could swear I heard my art teacher say “you’ll let go of her one day when you’re ready, you’ll add red over all of your paintings because they’ll remind you of her lips, it’ll be your favorite color, you’ll add blue over your roses because red has too much passion, it’s on fire and sometimes we have to appreciate the beauty of weirdness, poetry and art is weird, the best kind, you’ll add pale yellow for her skin tone and you’ll add dark, dark brown near lonely tree trunks because it’ll remind you of her eyes that cried every night because you didn’t know how to love, young kids finding slipped pants and unhooked bras more satisfying than adding black paint to solidify a relationship that could’ve been, and you’ll add your last drop, the finishing touch, you’ll be the black paint, and she’ll be the finished product.” and I finally listened. I finally listened to my art teacher. So I let you go, baby. The world is your canvas and I was the black paint. His lips your new black paint, and you, his unfinished product.”

— My art teacher used to say don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for it to be over, she was right. // k.c.

Just Simon and Baz being their most vulnerable selves.💞

Happy New Year! It’s gotten a little quiet around here and I’m so sorry for disappearing in the middle of the carry on countdown without a word. We got some scary family news last month and I had to head back to my hometown a little earlier than originally planned - but things have gotten a little less serious so I’ll be able to go back to my place this friday (and hopefully get back to drawing again!). I’m sorry to all of you who have sent me a message and are still waiting for a reply - I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! Til then I hope you’ve had lovely holidays and a good start into the new year! Have this rusty sketch of the boys as a little thank you for sticking with me, lots of love to all of you and see you soon ❤

🤣🤣🤣👐👐👐
