Why are you leaving again?
You've already left me several times,
What is it that I'm not giving to you?
I gave you my whole heart,
Four years worth;
And now,
You stand there telling me we are through.
Maybe it's not me after all,
Maybe it's you who is blinded by your
insecurities,
Why can you only see darkness where
there is light?
We have something precious;
More precious than you'll find elsewhere.
You always leave me shipwrecked,
My heart sinks to the bottom of the ocean,
And my head feels like the hull of a ship,
Falling to pieces;
Slowly drowning in the violent waves
Of a neverending storm,
Stranded;
I have been shipwrecked,
By your heart

A Mirror Moment
A Mirror Moment I don’t go to the mirror looking for anything. I’m just passing through the bathroom, moving slowly, heavily, the way people move underwater. But something pulls my gaze — not curiosity, not vanity, just a faint instinct, like checking a pulse.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
