STORY STARTER
Submitted by Alana Topakian
All she ever wanted was that side-splitting, life-changing, end-of-the-world type of love. Yet, as she sat alone on her bathroom floor, she realised her world was ending, just not in the way she’d hoped.
the romance i want
I wanted beauty
and romantic gestures
I wanted warm hands and times where you would look into my eyes and see me
my soul
I wanted romance comparable to the greats
Romeo and Juliet
Helen and Paris
I wanted love that would kill me if i didn’t get more
I wanted it to be
exhilarating
breath taking
heart stopping
And I guess I got it
But laying in a pool of my own blood
staring into your warm eyes
pain wracking every inch of my body
and your hands still pressing into the knife
I don’t know if this is what I meant
