a year ago i first felt this longing in my soul.

a longing for someone i can’t have.

for a life that is not mine to live.

here i am, same spot. same bench.

longing and loving and yearning for something that will never be mine.

did i think it would be different?

did i believe i wouldn’t be stuck in this same cycle of waiting for him to return to me, only to feel joy for a few short moments befor...

Hold me like porcelain,

To tight and I might break.

This soul do not shake,

And not let it wane.

Treasure me like a diamond,

To tight and you might bleed.

You head did finally heed,

Till the very last second.

…

I love you baby💚...

Because she licked a strangers shoes.

Collin was his name, he dropped the charges.

Dad was terrifed and hid all the shoes in the house.

Elephants ran through the living room

I tried to stop her but she licked an elephants toes.

Jello, my mom said they tasted like.

Kenny the elephant ran and trampled our couch.

Living room, destroyed.

I’M UPSIDE DOWN

What now

What am i seeing ?

Do i see the sun or the moon ?

It feels like i’m unable to compare them

Do i see love or pain ?

Maybe i should be more careful looking

Where is my sight ?

I need it back

Love made me blind

Yet i’m still running after it

What do i want ?

I’m unable to answer this question

What do I want ?

I haven’t ask myself this question for a while

What do i want ?

"We used to share," Cyrus shrugs. "But then one day she let me have the bed all to myself. Ever since then, she’s been sleeping on the floor."

"Why does she sleep on the floor?" Ade asks sitting on the bed beside Anastasia.

"She says it’s good for her back," Cyrus shrugs again.

Ade frowns slightly and Anastasia gives Ade a questioning look.

Ana shifts around on the bed. The ma...

I never wanted to be loved again

All i wanted was to be picked

i wanted attention

i wanted to be seen

but never to be loved again

That doesn’t mean that i didn’t love you

i loved with every breath that i took

with every sight that my eyes witnessed

I loved you

but the love the love that you gave was unexplainable

you loved me so deeply

you loved me so hard

you loved me so intense

Unloveable Things

I am not the kind of girl

you bring home to your mother.

I’m the kind you drag into your bed

to forget someone else—

and then can’t forget.

I am sharp edges wrapped in velvet.

I am the echo of every woman

who never got a soft ending.

I love him like a drowning thing

loves the hand that pulls it under.

I begged for his breath

even while I held mine,

waiting to be left again.

Because that’s what t...

_God is dead._

I learned that when I staggered into Owen’s car that night. He and Lousie were in the front, laughing at something as _Iron Maiden_ played loud on the speakers. Bea’s skull slammed against mine, her waves of black hair obscuring my vision. “_Harriet_!” She screamed over the music.

“What?” I screamed back, as Corbin jumped into the back of the car beside me, an open bottle sloshing...

“You’ve got a streak of makeup down your cheek.”

“Yeah. I know. It’s supposed to be that way.”

“What?! To make you look like you’re crying?”

“Yup. See the teardrop at the end of the streak?”

“Oh yeah. I didn’t see it before. Kinda sad. Don’tcha think?”

“Yeah. But I was painted this way.”

“I s’pose. Still, you gotta bring sunshine don’tcha?”

“You’d think. But with so many people an...
