[loucifersbitch]

Pulse

Do you know what it was like to hold you in my arms for the first time?

The bullet had torn through your flesh

And while you bled out in the street

Your blood covering my hair, face, neck, shirt

I yelled your name, my voice cracking and desperate

Do you remember?

You were so pale, your life draining from your eyes

You looked at me and asked if I was hurt

Yes, physically I was fine

But that was the day my heart learned what it meant to beat for another

A hug is nothing compared to holding your wounded body

Wanting only to tuck you behind my ribs

Next to my heart, entwined with my soul

Where you'll be safe

Where my heart can continue to beat

If yours will do the same

Buddie poetry event

Day 4 - fire

baptized - an original poem by me

@poemsbybuddie

Full poem and ID under the cut

Id:

Ten gifs with various scenes from different episodes. All gifs are slightly tinged red and the poem is written on them in a white relatively big but thin font on a red background to make it more visible. The opacity of the fond is lowered half way so it isn't too dominant. for the most gifs the font is in the middle of the picture

Image 1: Two gifs combined side by side. The first is of Buck holding the picture of Daniel in s4 ep4 . The first verse of the poem is written in the middle, it reads:

Baptized in fire

from the beginning

the right gif is from s4 ep 5 of a young adult Buck standing in front of his parents looking kind of sad. The second verse of the poem is written on its middle and reads:

That glimmer smoldering 

in my bones 

too weak to sustain

the flame

Image 2: Three images from s 4 ep 5 of the various postcards that Buck sent Maddie when he was travelling through the country. The third verse is written over its middle and reads:

It's been running

underneath my skin

eating trough me like

lava; spurring me on

to find its place to

grow 

Image 3: Three gifs one after the other. The first is of Abby leaving where she walks into the airport and Buck looks after her. The second is from s4 ep 4 and shows Buck's mother when she asked at the dinner scene "Evan, I don't know what you expected us to do" .The third gif shows Buck sitting on stairs in his loft with Taylor standing in front of him. It's the scene where he broke up with her. Centered over the gif the fourth verse is written and reads:

That smoldering that slowly 

burned me, eating away 

feasting on my 

heart and hands

which I used, to 

give give give 

in the hopes 

to pass on a spark

Image 4: A gif of the scene from s4 ep 5 where Buck is trying to rescue the factory worker from the fire. He's trying to pull on the rope and screams. The fifth verse is written over its center:

That flare that erupted 

one too many times

finally turned to

raging fire

carving itself into me 

a swath of destruction

cutting off the way

before me and setting

aflame everything I touch

That wasn't what I wanted

Image 5 is from the same scene. Buck is shown from the profile. He's hanging on the rope and has sunk to his knees. The 6th verse reads:

I'm down on my knees

my skin, brittle like embers

my bones, black like coals 

heart burning and burning and burning

Image 6: The gif shows Eddie in three different scenes, one after the other. The first is from s4 ep 5 when Buck arrives back at the firehouse and Eddie greats him and Buck says, "I had to do it" and Eddie answers, "I know you did".

The second scene is from s5 ep 4 where Buck and Eddie are talking on Buck's balcony about Chim and Maddie.

The third pic is from s6 ep 12 where Buck and Eddie talk in Eddie's kitchen and Eddie is looking quite fondly at Buck. Each part of the seventh verse appears one after the other matched with the change of the gifs. It reads:

And then

You

You

You welcome it

Image 7: The gif shows the scene from s3 ep 3 where Eddie has his hand on Buck's shoulder and is about to tell him that there is no one is the world he trusts more with his son than Buck. The 8th verse reads:

Feet covered in soot

Flames licking your skin

Eyes gleaming 

demanding,

'don't look away'

Image 8: Three scenes showing Buck one after the other. The first is from the same scene as the previous scene where Buck meets Eddie's eyes. The second scene is from the kitchen talk from s6 ep 12 and Buck is looking up at Eddie. The third part shows Buck looking at Eddie at the end of the scene from S4 ep 14 when Eddie tells Buck that he's Christopher's legal guardian.

The lines of the 9th verse appear and disappear with each scene and read:

And I don't

I can't

I won't

Image 9: Two gifs combined side by side. The first shows Eddie in s4 ep 5 Where he takes hold of the rope Buck is using to try to save the worker in the factory. The 10th verse on it reads:

You reach out and take that

glimmer, that flame, that fire 

and you make it your own

The right gif shows Buck and Eddie from s6 ep 12 again how they look at each other during the kitchen talk. The 11th verse reads:

Now we're both burning

But

I'm not hurting

anymore

Image 10: A gif of three scenes one after the other. First scene shows Buck and Eddie in s2 ep 4 walking next to each other , smiling and bumping their shoulders. Second scene is rom s3 ep 9 and shows Buck, Chris and Eddie on Buck's couch cheering after playing a video game. Last scene is from s6 ep 13 from the poker night and shows Buck turned around to Eddie who looks at him and grins at him very fondly and happy. The lines of the 12th verse appear and disappear with each scene and read:

I was baptized in fire

but you

You

You've become the flame

@poemsbybuddie

day one: home

what makes a house a home?

it’s a question i ask for years. a question i let rot in the pit of my stomach, 

a grave i try to crawl into, 

some secret i think i can discover, if only i run far enough.

in a youth spent as a shadow, only ever being seen in shades of blood and bruises,

i try to find it in her hair. in the curve of her shoulder, where she will hold me when i cry, 

when there is no wound to bandage or bone to sling, 

just broken hearts to mend, the caverns of a kitchen table watching me every day. 

as a boy steeped in loneliness, i search for it. 

that otherwise unnameable thing. 

the mountain that postcards cannot cross. 

a person who does not get left. 

i make my own assertions. 

home cannot have legs. (a home should never walk away)

a home will never smile (i’d do anything to keep it there)

home should be easy, like it is to be left. home should not be lonely, like i’ve been all these years. home is no empty apartment, waiting for a plane that will never return, home should not be a secret, a grave that isn’t my own, home cannot be mine, 

i know this, 

like i know my blood, like i know my sweat, like i know my shame,

home cannot be mine, 

when i have always been know to tear at the seams. 

(i know, mom, i never make it easy. i told him to listen when i say: i never make it easy)

in some fever dreams, home is a grave, nestled next to him, the brother that never was, the person i could never save, the home that lived and died with my bones, with the cries i brought into this world, with the brother i tore away.

some nights, leg aching, litchenberg scars scrawled along my skin,

home is an old friend i hope will still come for me. home is a scar in my skin i wish never healed. home is the secrets i’ll keep till i’m at your door, again.

home is an early grave. some earthen, spring thing, begging for my touch, home is scraped knees for a smile, home is in hiding, home is in running, home is cold, impersonal, untouchable, home cannot exist, but then, i remind myself, neither could you.

maybe it is this:

home cannot have legs. but mine will carry you. home comes with scars, though i wish yours faded and mine stayed bruised. home will never smile, but i watch as your own comes easily and i think: 

none of what i thought was true.

home can be a rush, a reminder to swim, home can take a bullet wound and come out the other side prepared for something new,

in you i’ve found a cavern my heart has been running to, 

knees knocking, shoulders bumping, home is a magnet pulling me to you,

but still, some things stay true.

if home is an early grave then love is too. you’ve damned me to be pulled, to run, ever-constant, into the sun, straight towards you, and the wounds i’ll sustain will carry me through, 

i know, you never asked for this, for me to bleed for you,

but i’ll do it gladly: 

because i know. 

i will never be home to you.

[frontmansdefender]

please please please please never assume an artist’s work is about something and then shove your theory in their face in hope that they would validate your “headcanon”. there’s a fine line between interpreting an artist’s art, which is fine (it is, after all, what art is about), and making your own assumption that said art might be about something that goes with your narrative or that something must be on the artist’s mind when they made this. it’s rude at best and extremely insensitive / disrespectful at worst. especially when you never know if the art is something that’s personal to the artist, (and so by making your own assumptions that their art is about something you want it to be about, you’re invalidating their feelings / experiences / anything they might’ve held in their heart creating the art; you’re turning their emotions / experiences / possibly trauma into something that’s about you, whether or not it’s your intention).

this goes for every other artist out there. if you appreciate their work or respect them as an artist, don’t do this. even if you’re just “joking”. because trust me, your joke isn’t worth the risk of unknowingly undermining someone’s feelings / experiences / pain in the process.

please respect artists and their art and try to be more considerate.

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly play’d in tune. As fair are thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my Dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Happy 911 day

Today I offer you this gif edit set with my original poem "your name on my tongue"

I wrote this poem after watching 6x10

I hope you like it.

Full poem and image description under the cut

Your name on my tongue

like burning embers

choking my lung

I tie your heartbeat to mine

come hide in my soul

Let my body be your shrine

I press my breath into your veins

hold on, my love

give me more than remains

I don't care about your destiny

I won't back down

when god asks for my testimony

The reign of this pain

My blood on your lips

I won't let it be in vain

I'll make the stars align

I shift the universe

But I won't cut this line

I won't let you die that young

I will fight the gods

with your name on my tongue

[Image description:

A set of 3 gifs, 1 picture and 3 gifs again. Each one has one verse of the poem written on its middle in a white cursive font which opacity has been lowered to blend into the gifs. The gifs are each made of two scenes merged into each other and partially overlayed.

Gif 1: two scenes from s6 ep 10. On the left there is Eddie shouting "Buck" when he spots him hanging from the ladder. It merges into Eddie on the right who arrives on top of the ladder shouting , "Buck".

Gif 2: on the left Eddie can be seen clipping the safety rope into Buck's harness before he goes up the ladder in s6 ep 10. The gif on the right shows Eddie from s4 ep 14 when he tells Buck that he made him Christopher's legal guardian. Specifically the moment he says "by you"

Gif 3: both scenes are from s6 ep 11.on the left Eddie is shown doing CPR on Buck while he's being wheeled into the hospital. It merges into the right where the camera swings from the ECMO machine over its tubes to where they're connected to Buck to where he is shown lying unconscious in the hospital bed.

Picture: A black picture with the fourth verse of the poem written on it's middle.

Gif 4: On the left there is the scene of Buck standing with a shocked expression and blood all over his face from the shooting scene from s4 ep 13. On the right a distressed Eddie from s6 ep 11 is shown how he looks after Buck who's been taken into the hospital after they've given him over. There is a tear on his right cheek.

Gif 5: the first gif is mainly on the left and overlaying the other gif partially on the right. The scene is from s4 ep 05 where Buck is alone in the fire trying to safe the person trapped there. It shows Eddie grabbing the rope Buck uses and his Eddie looks then down at Buck. On the right Eddie is shown how he tries to pull Buck up on the rope in s6 ep 10 on top of the ladder.

Gif 6: the left gif is from s4 ep 14 from the "legal guardian" scene and shows Buck looking up at Eddie in surprise when he says "Because, Evan". On the left bottom corner which shows a part of Buck's chest there is a block font in white reading "Evan". Its opacity is lowered to blend in well.

The gif on the right shows the scene from s6 ep 11 where Buck's limp body hangs from the ladder and there is rain and the light is changing into red, probably from the lights of the firetrucks. It's the moment when Eddie shouts "Buck" for the last time before he starts lowering him. In the right upper corner there is "Buuuuuck" written in the same font as "Evan" in the bottom left corner.

Roses and Thorns (a Cinderella Boy/Stargoth poem)

inspired by eps. 53 and 54, from Buddy's pov

you are soft and free as the petals of a rose

I am rigid and harsh like the thorns

we should never fit together

we both know it so very well

but somehow I can't keep myself from falling

like a moth to a flame I keep getting closer

though I know that, like Icarus, I will only get burned

we're on two sides of a war

another doomed tragedy to add to the list

another Romeo in love with his Juliet

I've said and done too many awful things to you

so how could you look at me that way?

as though you haven't been pierced by my thorns for the hundredth time

don't hold me like you love me

my heart can't take it, so please, don't keep reaching for me

this is a fairytale but there's no happy ending

I'll only hurt you in the end, why do you try?

don't you see I'm a villain?

it's the role I always play

you should know this by now... it's the only way I know

we both have our roles

and there's never a tale where my story ends happily

you always get your reward in the end

your prince and your palace

but what do I get?

nothing but punishment and pain

the pain I deserve for the person I am

but you want to save me from fate?

you want to rewrite my story, change the way it ends... why?

it should be impossible

you shouldn't even try

don't you realize I'm a hopeless case?

yet somehow I'm beginning to believe

that somehow you might be the one who can save me

after all, if anyone could save a thorn from it's harsh fate, it would be a rose

It takes a long time to make love with someone who hates themselves.
