L. V., Maybe Some People Are Meant To Be Sad For A Lifetime

There was a boy whose name changes every day.
What never changes every day is that he’s always sad.

- film still from A Very Long Engagement (2004)
- "He likes visiting cemeteries.
The prologue is set at a funeral and the following chapters
are about him dealing with loss." -L. V.

I think I wanted him to have a happy ending but I never wrote it.
Maybe I’ll finish his story one day.

L. V., maybe some people are meant to be sad for a lifetime

I want your rage—hand me your hurricanes.

Because
it’s the only way
I know how to get
closer to you. Because
it takes me by the hand
and we take a stroll from
out of my mind. Because I
fear forgetting because the
people I love are dropping
dead like summer flies or
something poetic like
that, and I am a moth;
the flame leads me
back home. Dear
poet, why do
you write?

- L. V.

L. V., i found this poem in the background of your favourite painting
