⚠️ Trigger Warning: the following writing entry contains allusions to and mentions of su!c!de, so please proceed accordingly. i am so sorry if you can relate, and i want you to know that you are loved, and that you are so, so strong ❤️‍🩹
preface: this one's for those with broken hearts. as we've so hauntingly come to learn, love truly does kill.
When you left–when my lifeline was cut–my heart stopped beating. The stars fell from the sky, and the sun died. The darkness consumed everything, and it felt as if it’d be like that forevermore.
I planned to end my life, which meant simply stopping my heart, for my being was no more, and I was nothing more than a walking corpse. I planned to swallow the little purple pills, and fall into an eternal sleep. You can never say I didn't fight to be alive again, because you don't know what it’s like–what it’s like to be given wings, and the ability to soar, only to plummet to Earth when you’re at your highest. I searched for the lights in the mist, but there were none. So then, I wrote my letters. I immortalized my last bits of hope and sunshine, if any, and gave those who claimed to love me something to remember me by. But Death is funny, you see, and doesn’t like to be chased. It prefers to do the chasing, like a shadow that looms, but doesn’t allow itself to be captured. So in one moment I was looking into the eyes of Death, and in the next, I was watching the sun set on a lake. Death departed, and with it, the everlasting darkness that you brought to my life. My letters were burned, and the pills forgotten. Light had been renewed.Â
I thought that loving you was like chasing fireflies–beautiful but fleeting–and I was right. Fireflies glow, and they stop, leaving darkness in their wake. But, as I've so hauntingly come to learn, the sun will rise again. So now, I do not address letters to my loved ones, or those that I planned to leave. Instead, I hope that one day you’ll be the one writing, addressing letters to my scars, and to the burns from the fires that had adorned my life. Address them to the holes in my butterfly wings, that took away my ability to fly. Address them to the boy whose heart you shattered, leaving him with no other option but to write letters.

letters out this friday, 12/27/24
the much sadder, and darker, sister entry to love is lethal, comes out this friday, 12/27/24, on my tumblr page. it's titled letters, and it would mean the world to me if you gave it a read. (side note: as much as i love the support, i would just like to give a trigger warning for allusions to and mentions of su!c!de in this entry. i am so, so deeply sorry if you can relate to it ❤️‍🩹.)

love is lethal
preface: this one's for all my hopeless romantics who had to learn about love the hard way. i know i did ❤️‍🩹
I knew things wouldn’t be the same when I went to sleep that night. Summer started like it does in the movies, with cool nights filled with the distant hum of cicadas, warm days, and a school boy crush to lose my mind over. But after that night, when you were finally more than just a cute boy in the hallway, I knew I had something to lose. Perhaps that’s why it’s all so bittersweet, because having you meant there was a chance to lose you. As weeks passed, loving you felt like sitting between comfort and chaos. As months passed, and I was convinced that you were the boy of my dreams, I knew to love would be to lose my mind. As the spark of June slowly faded, and the gloom of July rolled over the hills, the sun began to set on the love you let die. I knew that once you slipped through my fingers, I’d curse you for the longest time. When you were finally gone, there was no breath left in my lungs, and each day waking up felt like waiting to die. When there were no tears left to cry, I was in fact dead. Or, for lack of a better phrase, I was dead with a beating heart. The walking corpse that I became is proof that love is not golden, as they say, or something that heals. Love is a beautifully petaled rose, with thorns that draw blood. Love is vicious and deceitful. Love is lethal.
