The moment I flicked the switch her life faded away. In the final cold breeze, even the air stopped dead and stagnant and wretched. I was alone. I have never been so alone since her corpse stared blindly up at me. Through this I sallow, for when my time comes I will have no one left to pull the trigger, to tie the rope, to flick the switch and I will live in agony for my temporary eternity of uselessness.
The curtains were drawn to the window, as she exhaled one final time. The world is breathing, blood pulses in every tiny contour. Oh how I wish for every new face I pass each day in the street, from every beautiful stranger's voice, how I dream that one day one will reach outwards to me and say, “I’ll kill you when the time comes.”

I had a dream last night that we kissed for the first time. You dragged me by the tongue into the middle of a motorway, and as your hands clawed my face, mine clawed back, stretching towards your eyes as you chewed off and swallowed my tongue. You told me you loved me and stapled my mouth shut. How typical for the tallest mountain of pain to drain entirely into me before being hit by a truck three seconds later. Three seconds: the exact time it took you to wipe the blood off your lips and take six steps back. With a fourth there could have been a wave, and with two hundred-and-five more the blood would have filled my lungs, forced open my lips, torn off my face, and I could have screamed, "I love you." back.
I see you now walking down the hallway. I turn my head as you walk past. My lips quiver and open a hair's breadth, but then you staple them shut again, for now, and for all eternity. Fifteen weeks from now when I'm rotting in my grave, the air from my last breath will be begging to be set free.

It is snowing in my brain. Snow-blisters on the back of my eyes are obfuscating the dark thoughts you try to pry out. I am a sequestered mass of epitomised errors and wrongdoings.

Absconding Life recommends:
The Inalienable Dreamless
by Discordance Axis
An often overlooked grindcore classic. Unique riffs with a well-honed formula, rhythmic and oblique drumming, and some of my favourite high-pitched shrieking this side of the Earth's crust. Listen.

If you haven't heard of this classic, what are you doing here!? Although far from being my favourite (Hybrid Noisebloom was my first noise love), it is important to recognise its legacy and influence.

The Sound of The Spectacle
by The Saddest Landscape
This has little in common with the above (who actually played together and more), but there are many good reasons why this band's heart logo was tattooed over my wrist. Remember what you love and why.

Topographic Relief Vol 6
by Various Artists
Warped, woozy vaporwave that builds suspense and unease with long, gauzy sheets of sound. Psychedelic and hypnotic.
