I'm gonna share this with my English teacher

so soft it hurts

[dictatorialromance]

"Kiss her slowly like she's something breakable."

[manytoonepoet13]

They say falling in love is an unconscious occurrence, as matters of the heart usually are. Yet I refuse to believe these emotions were simply unconscious, as though done on a whim one day just because — no. I fell in love with you because my soul saw something in you before my eyes could even register the shape of your name, and my mind decided that it was something worth knowing better before my heart could even register what I was feeling. And my entire being continued to choose your arms as my home, my heaven on earth. All of those were conscious decisions done out of my own will because I saw the reason why I should pursue you, why I should love you. And while yes, love is wild and untamed... choosing who your forever love will be is a controlled and conscious decision Perhaps that is why people may date numerous people in their lifetime, yet only ever yearn for and stay with "the one", also known as your spouse. You love them, yes, but you didn't choose them. Now, one wouldn't really consider that as love, would they?

A sign to love with the mind, for emotions truly came from there, after all.

MELANCHOLY'S THRALL prompt by @definegodliness.

[dandelion-blues]

Eternity

My last words,

The salt of my tears intermingled with the dust of the cosmos on my tongue.

My last breath,

Entwined with your blood, sweat, and grime.

My last heartbeat,

Ripped out, taken in your weary hands.

Our last life,

Our love forever in the eternity of our final rest.

in all timelines in all possibilities only you can show me this

[woundsoflove]

You are just the one for me.

[poppiesandpromises]

Somewhere in a noose

Or perhaps a guillotine

Hope lays, bleeding out

[theglowsociety]

She blooms in her own season,

unfolding petals that once hid in shadows.

No rush, no shame—just growth,

steady and certain, like the sun rising.

Each step forward whispers,

“You are exactly where you need to be.”

The past is not a weight,

but a teacher,

and she carries its lessons lightly.

She is not late,

she is arriving.

Not broken,

but building.

And as she becomes

the woman she was always meant to be,

she smiles—not with regret,

but with knowing.

feel too pathetic to tell anyone about it you are all I want to talk about these days, don't care about christmas or new year’s eve,

by laurenmaerie, ‘you are kind of everything right now’

[ohowboring]

I said I'd burn the world down for you..

but sorry, that’s not what I meant.

Sure, I’d catch a grenade for you or take a bullet for you, but would I ever really get the chance to do that?

What I mean to say is I would plan to go to the gym with you, stay up till the sun rises talking about every thought that we come across, then decide maybe we can go another day. I would stay as still as I can for a couple minutes before getting up from bed to let you sleep longer, because I know how long it takes for you to fall asleep. I would read every text as to what made you excited or what ticked you off throughout your day. I would put on my shoes as fast as I could to get your groceries with you or go to the bank. I would stop walking and wait for you as you stoop to tie your shoes. I would watch your favorite show and read your favorite book, so I could understand your references and why you’d want that tattoo. I would wake up the moment I hear you stir in the middle of the night and stay with you till you fall asleep. I would send you posts on social media that I think would make you laugh or tempt you to spend money on. I would let you fall apart, if you’d let me piece you back together. I would give you the bigger half of my favorite snack, a chocolate chip cookie to be exact. I would play your favorite songs just to see your face light up and wonder if I did it on purpose. I would fold your laundry with you, and wash the dishes after you cook.

I can’t burn the world down twice, nor can I catch a grenade more than once. God knows how many bullets my body could take.

But for you,

Every day I would do the ordinary, the plain, and the mundane. Always.

(the greatest gift I could give to you is my time, which I am so limited of, but would offer to you again and again and again.)

[fallencalliope]

Insatiable hunger hits hard,

As you possess my flesh,

Wanting you taste my innocence,

Commit unimaginable sins behind these closed doors,

Enclosed in this sweet ecstasy,

Succumbing to your every need,

Getting high from the addiction,

Of feeling your every desire,

Taking me to the brink of coming undone under your touch...

You have all the freedom, but only in my arms

[rain-rainynights]

fading is the easy thing to do. but to persist in spite of the temptation to disappear makes you stronger than you will ever allow yourself to realize

[yourfavoriteabomination]

I met a boy the other day

A fallen angel or perhaps a incubus

With a tough exterior hiding a rich chocolate smile.

How badly I want to know you, dear heart,

How I ache for our souls to touch,

The allure of sweet delicious harmonies.

You are more than a gift to unwrap for you are priceless.

I give you everything I am

For perhaps a drop of affection.

How much of yourself you give to everyone else?

How much is left of yourself?

How much is left to even be given?

Is there even a desire to give a single sliver

Of your shattered little ace of heart?
