And you say I abandoned the ship…

But I was going down with it
My white knuckle dying grip
Holding tight to your quiet resentment and
My friends said it isn’t right to be scared
Every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air

When you’re not sure if he wants to be there
So how much sad did you think I had,
Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I’d go?
Before I’d self-implode
Before I’d have to go be free

The Tortured Poets Department

In case you haven’t noticed, dear reader, I am a #Swiftie. I am anxiously awaiting April 19 because that is the release date of “The Tortured Poets Department.” I wanted to emulate Taylor’s Grammy Awards look, so Luna Chelsea’s Hollier dress fit the vibe. Hollier comes in other colors if you want more than white!

Livin’ in a big old city

Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Daylight to Midnight

I’ve known it from the very start
We’re a shot in the darkest dark
Oh no, oh no, I’m unarmed
The waiting is a sadness
Fading into madness
Oh no, oh no, it won’t stop

Fast forward to midnight.

I’m standin’ on the sidewalk alone
I wait for you to drive by
I’m tryna see the cards that you won’t show I’m about to fold unless you go
I would stay forever if you say don’t go

The Moment I Knew by Taylor Swift

Come in with the Rain

That moment you realize you are absolutely exhausted, yet you’re still desperately in love…

I could go back to every laugh
But I don’t wanna go there anymore
And I know all the steps up to your door
But I don’t wanna go there anymore

Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find

I’ll leave my window open
‘Cause I’m too tired at night to call your name
Just know I’m right here hoping
That you’ll come in with the rain

Me and Karma Vibe Like THAT…

I’ve been in SL for a little over 14 years. Damn. When I first started I was in my early 20’s and now I’m in my 30’s. Crazy. The lure of SL is still so appealing to me but for very different reasons now that I’m older. In the beginning, I toyed with modeling. I moved on to blogging, but my blogging was sporadic. It depended on my mood and what music I was listening to at the time, which was a LOT of Taylor Swift. Sorry, not sorry dear reader. My goal this year is to blog more often, return to the diary style (with music, duh), and find new designers and pose creators. After all, it’s why I’m still here.

Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade, but I’m still here
(I’m still, I’m still here)

‘Cause karma is the thunder
Rattling your ground
Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma’s gonna track you down
Step by step from town to town
Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Coming straight home to me

‘Cause karma is my boyfriend (karma is my boyfriend)
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (weekend)
Karma’s a relaxing thought
Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that

Karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god

Karma’s a relaxing thought
