Unfinished Lyric

an infp and a Romantic who has never had cause to be a romantic

[a-j-s-the-only]

We talked about our favorite memories of you

the house seemed quieter

[ghostedinnerthoughts]

am i selfish to be depressed

or selfless to hide it

selfish to cut

or selfless to cover up

selfish to suicide

or selfless to not waste

selfish to compare

or selfless to empathize

selfish to reject the gift

or selfless to accept it

selfish to take it out on them

or selfless to hold some in

selfish to cry

or selfless to be human

selfish to not eat

or selfless to leave more for others

selfish to be myself

or selfless to be a role model

selfish to live

or selfless to wanna die

[x-disruptxr]

i’m better off as a concept

[chaoticscribblesandthelike]

I got so lost in the spiral of my own mind's shadows that I forgot I own the key that can set me loose

if only I can find the damn thing

[boringasspotato]

The only thing that rivals my love for unhinged women is my love for women who had no hinges to begin with

[chaoticscribblesandthelike]

I think I get about 90% more bisexual every time I see Jodie Comer's sadistic little smirk in the back of my mind

[apocryphics]

but! we! cannot! simply! sit! and! stare! at! our! wounds! forever!

wake up

choose violence

go back to bed

[bunshr00m]

with how people talk about nex benedict you'd think they poured literal acid on innocent girls who were just a little bit mean

they were being constantly harassed and scrutinized for just being themselves, so they retaliated with a splash of bottled water. WATER. i wouldn't have blamed them one bit if they DID slap a bitch but no it was literally?? water???

what happened to the idea that bullied kids should defend themselves? i swear loads of people agreed on how unfair it is that victims get blamed for retaliating and yet when this happens suddenly its "they started it 🤷‍♀️" are you a shell of a human with no sympathy or are you just a petty kid who thinks they understand more than they do? probably a mixed bag, knowing the internet

also its pretty obvious that someone being attacked is probably gonna throw the attacker as a defense move because that gets them further away and they don't want to get beaten up anymore like??

tldr: if you're blaming nex's death on THEM because they messed with their BULLIES in a way that was basically harmless (and then fought off actual assault) you're a pos

rest in peace nex, you did NOT deserve that

I don’t have a death wish for him, no. everyone dies eventually, so wishing’s a bit redundant. I hope he dies sooner than he would if nature had its course, though, if that matters at all

incase you haven’t thought about the fig tree analogy today

I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story.From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.

i want my life to be a series of commas and never ever ever find the period

[chaoticscribblesandthelike]

with you in my periphery, I wonder how long it will take my face to melt off like an unspooling cardigan

[bebejqkowopqpqbs]

Reminder that nothing bad needs to happen for you to walk away .

You don’t need to wait for toxic behaviour to decide this is not your person. Sometimes, there are genuinely good people out there that are simply too different from us for it to ever work out. And that’s okay. Just because two people are good individually doesn’t mean they’ll be good together.Pizza is good. Ice cream is good. But you wouldn’t eat pizza flavoured ice cream

coffee kisses

I.

languid & loving:

slow mornings together

stretching out like the rest of our lives,

endlessly vast before us.

nothing but warmth surrounding,

pulling me deeper into,

into,

into…

every moment further entangling us,

close to the point of no return.

history can’t help but repeat itself,

past lives of us in every moment,

we’ve been through this before,

this kind of falling.

II.

fruit-seeking fingers,

berry juice on your lips,

tempting and tantalizing,

almost as much as you.

lattes and cappuccinos:

marking the moments of us,

caramel and vanilla,

syrupy sweet.

i tug on your head to bring it to mine,

hoping for one last lingering taste of coffee on your lips,

the most intoxicating pairing.

my love

and his coffee-sweet kiss
