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
