Can you believe what I tell you?

Or is your trust already lost?

Now I can explain what happened,

Fearing the answer you may give

Erase who you thought I was

She doesn’t even exist

Something you never would have thought

I used you for my own pleasure

Our connection was never real

Nothing can repair that pain...

Grace stared at her hands. They were shaking again. Even when it came to family she couldn’t keep her composure. A deep breath filled her lungs in an attempt to calm herself. After making the decision to tell her grandparents today, Grace’s thoughts wouldn’t stop racing. What would they say to her? Surely, they would be angry as they were both raised strictly catholic. Would they try to forbid her...

I’ve never seen why

It takes so long to get close.

Just show me your all

So that I can decide if

You are in my life to stay....

I don‘t love you. The words ring in my head like an echo. I‘ve been telling myself that for months. My heart is pounding in my chest and my breath is flat and hectic as I rush to meet you. I don’t love you, I think, as I fix my hair so you won‘t see it messy. Though I doubt you would care. Then, there you are, your blue eyes piercing me and making my racing heart stand still for a second. I don‘t ...

I squeeze my fists and clench my jaw, as Luca watches me with a blank stare. I never could tell what was going on in that head. Maybe that’s what made me so interested in him. “We really need to talk this out”, I whisper, taking a step towards him. No reaction. I roll my eyes in frustration. “I just need to know why”, I say, suprised at the quivering of my own voice. Finally, he sighs, “I don’t th...

The room was dimly lit. You could see dust settling in the beams of light streaming through the cracks of the curtains. They fell onto varied piles of books resting next to the bed maade of weathered wood. It was full of mismatched blankets and pillows, all of which were colorfully patterned. Though the rest of the room wasn’t as colorful, it looked every bit as chaotic. It seemed as though the r...

I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.

I’ve always simply wanted to be a good human being.

But how can you fulfill a wish like that with a history of scars?

So instead of healing, I’ve spent my life on the run bleeding.

My flaws don’t define me, but they disrupt my relationships.

I could never figure out how to be whole, how to be normal.

But how could I be whole when ...

If somebody asked me

My greatest fear

Id talk about life

Without you here

You see life would seem dull

If you went away

Id be bored forever

Living day after day

Without all my joy

Without all my soul

Id be wasted forever

And Id never be whole

If I never knew you

Which, thank god, I do

Id never feel fulfilled

I wouldn't know who

Could in fact convince me

That soulmates exist

Who'd accept me always...
