Aly the Great

A disaster wrapped in good intentions wrapped in snark. Alyx Bouchard: 20-something; sailor's mouth; strong distaste for sunlight; people connoisseur. Bartender by night, asleep by day. Beneath all the eyeliner lies a tender soul... Probably. No one's ever been there. Things that might get you there include blueberries, crime novels, long walks in the moonlight, broken toys, a good stiff drink with something extra, kittens, a decent taste in music.

His hands have a habit of finding my hip bones, trailing his river like fingers along my stone smooth skin, his lips do not move, his mouth tells me stories. Mine spend their time tracing the length and breadth of his back in kisses* We travel through lands that never existed before we touched them At temperatures far exceeding in Fahrenheit If only we could understand how lust and geography make such divinely sinful bedmates. ____________________ * One hundred and sixteen

You didn’t show up. I kept waiting.

I Had a Dream About You (Richard Siken)

[wordsthat-speak]

You tried to change didn’t you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do, love split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.

For Women Who Are Difficult to Love by Warsan Shire (via wordsthat-speak)

Of all the people you have kissed she was your favourite because she didn’t flinch when you curled your hand around her neck and tightened. She said “I break the law because I’ve never broken a heart and I want to know what it feels like to be the brick not the window pane”. When she’s drunk she’ll dress up for you, all straps & lace & stockings. When she’s high she’ll dress down for you, all skin, skin, skin.

Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me

You like him because he’s a lost boy. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen before. But do you know what happens to girls who love lost boys? They become lost themselves. Without fail.
