@##§¤^\~.¨ i used to be a goth, in my youth, doing ¨.~\^¤§##@
§¤^\~..¨¨¨ crimes mostly from or in my beloved and ¨¨¨..~\^¤§
§¤¤¤^~~¨¨¨ trusted car, and sometimes my mothers ¨¨¨~~^¤¤¤§
#§§¤¤^\~.¨ barn. we lived just outside town, a ¨.~\^¤¤§§#
#@#§¤^\~.¨ grove at the end of a dirt road, and ¨.~\^¤§#@#
##@#¤^\~.¨ the barn was placed so you could just ¨.~\^¤#@##
§¤¤\\.¨¨¨¨ make out the surrounding fields through ¨¨¨¨.\\¤¤§
@#§§¤^\~.¨ the trees. ¨.~\^¤§§#@
@§¤^\~~~.¨ ¨.~~~\^¤§@
##§^^\.¨¨¨ my car was black and loud, both the ¨¨¨.\^^§##
#¤\.¨¨¨¨¨¨ engine and the way the parts didn't ¨¨¨¨¨¨.\¤#
§¤\.¨¨¨¨¨¨ really stick together. i took my ¨¨¨¨¨¨.\¤§
#@#§¤^\~.¨ crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the ¨.~\^¤§#@#
#@#§¤^\~.¨ eternal dark that seemed to surround ¨.~\^¤§#@#
##§§¤^\~.¨ us. she seemed to cast this veil over ¨.~\^¤§§##
##@§¤^\~.¨ everything. her black skirt reached to ¨.~\^¤§@##
##@#¤^\~.¨ her knees but then somehow also back ¨.~\^¤#@##
§^~~..¨¨¨¨ around, enveloping all my memories of ¨¨¨¨..~~^§
@##§¤^\~.¨ our time together. ¨.~\^¤§##@
#@#§¤^\~.¨ ¨.~\^¤§#@#
##§§¤^\~.¨ there was blood everywhere. sometimes ¨.~\^¤§§##
@#¤^^^\~.¨ the blood was her red lipstick or her ¨.~\^^^¤#@
#§^^\\\~.¨ checkered shirt. she was on television. ¨.~\\\^^§#
§^~~¨¨¨¨¨¨ we did crime, and we made weird ¨¨¨¨¨¨~~^§
#¤\.¨¨¨¨¨¨ structures in the barn, tall pillars of ¨¨¨¨¨¨.\¤#
#@#§¤^\~.¨ dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires ¨.~\^¤§#@#
§¤\.¨¨¨¨¨¨ and fairy lights. we would sleep there ¨¨¨¨¨¨.\¤§
§¤¤¤¤^\~.¨ and drink there and she would go in the ¨.~\^¤¤¤¤§
#@#§¤^\~.¨ television. ¨.~\^¤§#@#
#@#§¤^\~.¨ ¨.~\^¤§#@#
#@#§¤^\~.¨ and then the sun came out, and she went ¨.~\^¤§#@#
§¤¤¤^~¨¨¨¨ away. everything changed... i yearned, ¨¨¨¨~^¤¤¤§
#¤¤\~~~¨¨¨ and the world became dull around me. ¨¨¨~~~\¤¤#
§§§§¤^\~.¨ ¨.~\^¤§§§§
#¤\.¨¨¨¨¨¨ i stopped doing crime, except when ¨¨¨¨¨¨.\¤#
