The love you gave never lasted forever .
You don’t need to be clever to realise your behaviour was out of line .
The way you made me tremor at your sight . The way you shout and make me shiver just like the way our love withered .
I waited for the knight in shining armour like a tale that ends with a love to savour .
A happy ever after , I can hear your laughter .
A fairytale was never meant ...
I dream about what it’d be like
To be the girl in my books
To be the girl that the boys fall in love with
The ones they kiss in the rain
The ones that joke with
The ones they give cute gestures
I want their love monologues
I want their silly banter
I want their friendship
I don’t want boys who text me all day long
I don’t want boys who deny they’re love for me
I don’t want boys who don’t ca...
It’s electrifying
And invigorating
And terrifying.
It starts with nights spent staring at the stars
And sharing parts of ourselves we thought would always just be ours.
Slowly, so slowly, it builds
Something too big for words
Then suddenly its everything, all at once you know. You’re sure.
You’re tumbling, falling so fast that nothing matters except this
Feeling. This
Hand in yours,
Keeping ...
I sit idle, in despair
On my fallen, broken chair
It’s quiet enough for the mind
For the mind to wonder if it’s kind
I’ve waited patient for something
For the door to ring
For the house to be cleaned
To convince myself, I wasn’t mean
The door has rung
I nearly broke a lung,
Working to get up
God I looked dumb
At the door was my Mom
She made me feel calm
My depression met a four-leaf clover
A...
I’m not okay.
Something inside me broke.
I have no patience,
No empathy,
No honesty.
I am a lying excuse for a person,
Just lying lying lying.
I’m not okay,
I hate me.
I hate the thoughts that tell me
I hate me.
I’m scared of my own mind.
I’m scared of the ideas,
The plans,
The futures - or lack of -
That my head creates.
I’m scared of the violence,
The chaos,
The waves of pain and fear
That colli...
if i look at old photos for too long
i start to feel sick
a nauseating, earth shattering
sickness
in those moments
before the flash
time seems to stretch out
forever
everybody holding poses
sucking in stomachs
knees creaking from the weight of
crouching
then suddenly it’s over
and they’ll forget all about it.
until one day
many, many years later
a sad girl who sits
alone
rotting away in her ...
Just like a year ago it’s cold outside. The snow is falling softly, kids laugh and run through the snow covered streets.
I walk down the side walk, dodging three kids who scurry past me.
As their laughter echos through the world, I see Davian, his smile that was so small but made a huge difference in my life. I see his black eyes that I always knew were hiding a secret, I just never knew what ...
first a look my way
then a glance towards you
an upwards curve at the corner of my lip
then not being able to get you off my mind
staring into each other’s eyes
stealing glances
looking then looking away when the other one sees
feeling butterflies when I hear your name
the butterflies fluttering more when you say my name
blushing when we have our minute conversations
letting my mind daydream about...
“The rules are pretty simple,” seventeen year old Gavin said, pushing his glasses up self consciously. He’d never played with the cool kids before, and had a creeping feeling they were using him.
“No cross hops in this section-“ Gavin motioned with his controller. “No jumps diagonal. And you can only hit triple rolls and flood attacks on the… the left strike. Jumping back and swooping low, you pu...
