The flickering fluorescence light of the monitors are the only source of light in this shut off room. A notebook full of scribbled words of ink lies to the side, reachable but not in the way. His thin fingers clicking away on the pale keys of his keyboard. His eyes hooded, eyebags deep.
“Honey,” I purr, “Have you found out all that you’ve needed to know? You’re investment in these other men are m...
Solar regarded himself as the greatest, most powerful star in the universe. The god thought this for the longest time, until the Overlord made more, and more, and more stars.
Solar saw this and began comparing himself to them. The stars, oblivious to this, continued on in their shine, finding more and more ways to combust and emit light and heat for the lesser creations of the Overlord. It made ...
Looking at all the other girls, my heart swells with jealousy
Their hair, their makeup, their clothes, their features, all the perfect consistency
They walk around, knowing their supremacy
I dont know how they do it, how could I ever live to their legacy?
I’ve always wanted to be that girl
The ones who can get any boys with their curls
They’re always so confident, like they can rule the entire ...
Of the people who have peace,
Under these cedars,
Amongst the leaves,
Names etched in stone,
Dates written in marble.
Of the people who carry the weight,
On those shoulders,
Amongst loved ones,
Names on their hearts,
Dates written on paper card.
Of those who live with a heavy heart,
Inside a strong chest,
Amongst a cold silence,
Names listed in their heads,
Love written on their soul.
…
Love y...
Those eyes that get to take you in,
To be in your presence a sin.
But banish these thoughts I must,
Assuming leads to mistrust.
Those hands that hold your hips,
That air that brushes your lips.
Overthinking my own jealous mind,
Leaving all logic behind.
That heart that gets to touch yours,
Those frozen souls you wish to thaw.
You are like fire in this cold life,
These wrong thoughts causing stri...
i thought i was over this
that i’d healed my heart
but i suppose i’ll never be
that’s the tragedy of this art
i watch how she charms you
just like all the others before
runs her hands through her curls
why i watch, i’m still not sure
she says something funny
you lower your head
hiding your smile
oh, it fills me with dread
she drinks from your cup
i think i’ve seen it all
her spit mingling with ...
Glistening blue eyes sparkle in the lamplight
Lipsticked lips red and bright
Blonde locks as smooth as silk
Can’t you stop making me feel like filth?
A shabby brown frock I wear
My makeup tenderly handled yet it still looks like I have no care
Face dotted with pimples and pores
I’m about as pretty as a wild boar
Shining silver and gold necklaces line your neck
Compared to that I look like a wr...
TW: ED and drug use
Ashley said she wants to rip all of her hair out
'Cause it will never be as soft as Emmeline's.
Ashy lungs, coughing her tongue up every midnight,
Like she could smoke away the bitter in her rind.
Ashley took down all the mirrors in her bedroom;
She couldn't bear to look the monster in the eye.
"Talia's so pretty — why can't I be her?"
Tally numbers from the scale until you d...
