Oliver is out of his room for once. I don’t know how to deal with this.

He’s sitting in my lap, a movie playing in front of us as we eat out of a shared bowl of popcorn. This whole setting feels relatively normal. I know it won’t last, though, nothing’s normal about living with your fiancé in a cabin deep in the woods, leaving that same house only twice every month for grocery shop...

Everything comes so easily for you. Your home hums with peace, as though the world itself bends to your comfort. Laughter bursts from you, unguarded and easy, spilling through the gap in your teeth as if you’ve never had to hide it. Your nights are safe, your stomach always full. You’ve never felt that sudden, icy stab of fear for something as small as a spilled drink or a careless word. You’ve ne...

I hate the way they walk

The way they talk

The way they dress

I must confess

It gives me a migraine

Every time it rains

Like the lightning in a storm

They’re something you can’t ignore

My silent rage

As they walk across the stage

Always excelling

In both math and spelling

It doesn’t matter what it is

They’re always better, they never miss

Always jump back up again

Always on top, until the en...

I’m killing Eliza

Because everyone loves her

I’m killing Eliza

Because you would dream of her

I’m killing Eliza

Because her voice is sweeter than song

I’m killing Eliza

Because she can do no wrong

I’m killing Eliza

Because she’s who no soul can blame

I’m killing Eliza

Because her and I could never be the same

I’m killing Eliza

Because her hair glows brighter than fire

I’m killing Eliza

Be...

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 ...
