the handsome stranger's flattery hits the mark. meredith flushes under his attention, a flush of pink peaking out from beneath her make-up, sweet and rosy and she takes a step closer, a moth to his dark flame.

❛ ⠀and you are impossible to forget.⠀ ❜ which means he is no one important. but she lets that go just as easily as she did her preferred taste. ❛ ⠀meredith carter, and yes, guilty as charged, i'm from america.⠀ ❜

" i wasn't planning to bring any charges, " he says, the amusement not fading from his eyes. but he does note the last name... somewhere in the back of his mind, there are warning bells. another reminder that he wasn't here to cause any trouble... but he'd never been one to listen to warnings...

" i suppose america's loss is our gain, " he says, before taking another sip of his drink. " ross poldark. " @storytelers

temptation incarnate. those were the only words her brain could scrape together under his gaze to describe ross poldark. that, and tall, dark and handsome. two tired clichés she'd always considered herself well above. she liked pretty, elfin types right out of fashion magazines, with wispy blonde hair. ross's hair was pitch black. and messy! not artfully tousled, but like he hadn't bothered to brush his hair before coming here and her fingers itched to comb it. to be sure, she wanted to mess up those curls herself, but, the desire to put him together was just a midge stronger.

ross was not her type. not by a long shot! so why, oh why, oh why was she following him into the maze? / @cptnpoldark

[cptnpoldark]

he notices the flicker of interest in her eyes - how could he not? but he stops himself from holding her gaze for long. so far tonight, he has behaved himself. he's even managed to keep the distaste he feels for the company off his face. more or less. it's the least he can do - for verity. but that doesn't make the new suit any less uncomfortable or his uncle's friends any less insufferable... and it certainly doesn't make an attractive woman's attention any less tempting...

grabbing a drink off the tray of a passing waiter, he hesitates a moment. he knows what he ought to do with himself. find verity. be a good plus one. just get through this... but then the woman's eyes meet his once more, and his feet make a decision before his mind can object.

" i don't think we've met. not properly, anyway, " he says, the ghost of a smile on his lips letting her know that her staring hasn't gone unnoticed. " i'm sure i would remember that... "

me: *barely writes on the blogs i’m active on* also me: what if i wrote ross again...

shut up

don’t be sad for me

all them demons helped me see shit differently

guess it fuckin’ just clicked one night

you know you sound so dumb

maybe you should just shut up

how you been using your time?

i never miss

34+35

you might think that i’m crazy

so what are you doing tonight?

i don’t wanna keep you up

show me you can keep it up

i’ve been drinking coffee and i’ve been eating healthy

can you stay up all night and fuck me till the daylight

baby you might need a seatbelt when i ride it

even though i’m a wifey, you can hit it like a side chick

i know all your favourite spots

we’ll start at midnight and go till tbe sunrise

you’re such a dream come true

motive

tell me why i get this feeling that you really wanna make me yours

tell me why i get this feeling that you really wanna turn me on

i admit, it’s exciting

tell me what’s your motive?

i could call bullshit all from a mile away

say what you mean cause you just might get it

tell me everything that’s on your mind

i don’t trust phonies

had to put a wall up

no need to sugarcoat a lie

just like magic

i just wanna have a good day

i’ll take my pen and write some love letters to heaven

i’m so magnetic

i get what i want cause i attract it

i’m trying to disconnect

i don’t wanna waste your time on some dumb shit

you can miss me with that shit

we’re gonna be making some new habits

off the table

will i ever love the same way again?

will i ever love somebody the way i did you?

never thought you’d be so damn hard to replace

i swear i don’t mean to be this way

am i too cold? am i not nice?

am i too cold?

am i not nice?

do i sit this one out?

i might not be quite yet healed or ready

i just wanna know if love is completely off the table

will you be there?

can i still love you?

i’ll wait for you even though it always feels like i’ll be number two to someone you can’t hold anymore

i’m ready to give you what i couldn’t before

let me help you get through it

i can love you harder than i did before

i was toxic to someone else

i don’t think love is completely off the table

gotta get outta my head

can you prove it to me?

it’s gonna be hard to let somebody else in

six thirty

i know i’m on some bullshit

i know i be driving you crazy

you can only stay mad for a minute so come here and give me some kisses

you know i’m very impatient

so don’t keep me waiting

i just wonder if you’re going to stay

one day i’ll lose it and go crazy

i know this shit’s kind of heavy

i just want to tell you directly

let me know if you’re ready

are you down?

what’s up?

you aint scared to show me your ugly and maybe that’s just how it’s suppose to be

what are you gonna do when i’m bored and wanna play video games at 2 a.m.?

when i’m old and stuck, will you still have a crush?

am i enough to keep your love?

safety net

you know you’re really something

you’re making me forget my past

i came to peace with my path

i never thought i’d feel like that again

i’ve never been this scared before

is this real this time or is this in my head?

it’s time for you to play your part now

you’re mine

it must’ve been something that you said

my hair

i’m gonna give you some instructions

touch it softly the way you do my mind

run your hands through my hair, cause that’s why it’s there

don’t you be scared

it’s been long overdue

i usually don’t let people touch it, but tonight you get a free pass

this ain’t usually me

nasty

lately i just wanna keep it real

no more playing it safe

i just wanna make time for you

this pussy designed for you

i would sign on the line for you

tonight, i wanna get nasty

what are you waiting for?

dont wanna wait on it

i’ma give it to you like you never had it

it’s gonna be hard to break the habit

you’re like a whole constellation

promise i’m still gonna love you in the a.m.

take what’s on your mind and make it real life

been so well-behaved but you make me weak

my body’s gotta say something to you

west side

i don’t wanna think too much

just let me be in your life

i’ll bring the light back

i’m gonna make you want more

there shouldn’t be no hold up

there’s more love if you follow emotions

i don’t want it if it ain’t your touch

it’s better every time

we’ve got all that we need right here

just let me in your life like that

let me be your wife

love language

i know you’re probably thinking ‘what’s the use’

it’s the little things that you do that make me wanna give it all to you

you soothe me

it’s been a minute since i’ve had something so sweet

if you’re gonna be speaking my love language you can talk your shit all night

you’re the medication when i’m feeling anxious

teach me how to love you

why do i double back and ask the same thing twice?

i’m not what you had before

i ain’t tryin to sign no lease, i’m just gonna make you my home

positions

heaven sent you to me

i’m just hoping i don’t repeat history

i’m tryin’ to meet your mama on a sunday and make a lot of love on a monday

i’m trying to meet your mama

there’s nothing i wouldn’t do

you’re too good to be true

i get tired of running but fuck it now i’m running with you

this is some shit i usually don’t do but for you i kinda want to

obvious

i love the taste of you in the morning

i love the thought of us

nothing else is more important

i’m praying we don’t fuck this up

others i’ve had tried to impress me before

i knew you were the real thing when you walked through that door

i didn’t think i would have to spell it out

all my love is free

got me right where you want me

could i be more obvious?

hard to think when i’m under you

i’ll tell you all my dirty truths

just promise you’ll be back soon

i love the thought of you never leaving

never thought i’d believe in love again

p.o.v.

you know me better than i do

i wanna love me the way you love me

i’d love to see me with your point of view

nobody’s ever loved me like you do

can’t see to keep anything from you

i’m getting used to receiving

still not getting good at not leaving

i love you even though i’m scared

i couldn’t believe it or see it for myself

if my eyes deceive me i won’t let them stray too far

[cptnpoldark]

𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑡: 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒

The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album evermore. May contain mature subject matter.

WILLOW

I’m rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife

If it was an open-shut case I never would have known from the look on your face 

Lost in your current like a priceless wine 

The more that you say, the less I know 

Wherever you stray, I follow 

I’m begging for you to take my hand 

I’m begging for you

I can feel you sneakin’ in 

There was one prize I’d cheat to win 

They count me out time and time again 

Anywhere else is hollow

That’s my man 

I come back stronger than a ‘90s trend 

Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark 

I’ll meet you after dark 

Show me the places where the others gave you scars 

This is an open-shut case 

I should'a known from the look on your face 

Hey, that’s my man 

Yeah, that’s my man

CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS

You booked the night train for a reason

Your heart was glass, I dropped it 

You told your family for a reason 

You dropped my hand while dancing, left me out there standing 

Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldn’t give a reason 

This dorm was once a madhouse

Well, it’s made for me 

Soon they’ll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through 

I never was ready so I watch you go 

She would’ve made such a lovely bride, what a shame she’s fucked in the head

Sometimes you just don’t know the answer til someone’s on their knees and asks you 

You won’t remember all my champagne problems

GOLD RUSH

I don’t like a gold rush

I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch 

Everybody wants you 

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you 

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? 

I can’t dare to dream about you anymore 

My mind turns your life into folklore 

I won’t call you out on your contrarian shit 

‘TIS THE DAMN SEASON

If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you

There’s an ache in you, put there by the ache in me 

But if it’s all the same to you it’s the same to me 

You could call me “babe” for the weekend 

We could call it even 

Remember how you watched me leave

You can run, but only so far 

And the road not taken looks real good now 

Hear me out, we could just ride around 

The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometown 

I won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay 

I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I’m fakin' 

The heart I know I’m breakin’ is my own

Even though I’m leavin’ and I’ll be yours for the weekend 

​'Tis the damn season

TOLERATE IT

I notice everything you do or don’t do

You’re so much older and wiser 

If it’s all in my head tell me now 

Tell me I’ve got it wrong somehow 

I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it 

I take your indiscretions all in good fun 

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life 

I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life 

You assume I’m fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?

Believe me, I could do it 

NO BODY, NO CRIME

He did it

Her husband’s actin’ different, and it smells like infidelity 

That ain’t my merlot on his mouth. That ain’t my jewelry on our joint account 

I think I’m gonna call him out 

No, there ain’t no doubt 

I think he did it, but I just can’t prove it 

No body, no crime

I ain’t lettin’ up until the day I die 

Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen 

I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene 

She was with me, dude 

They think she did it, but they just can’t prove it 

Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy 

I wasn’t lettin’ up until the day he died 

HAPPINESS

I see this for what it is

All the years I’ve given is just shit we’re dividin’ up 

I can’t face reinvention 

There’ll be happiness after you 

There was happiness because of you 

Haunted by the look in my eyes that would’ve loved you for a lifetime 

Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk? 

I hope she’ll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you 

No, I didn’t mean that 

Sorry, I can’t see facts through all of my fury

You haven’t met the new me yet 

There’ll be happiness after me

There was happiness because of me 

I can’t make it go away by making you a villain 

I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties 

No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you and you know you hurt him, too

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness 

After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that?

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness. You haven’t met the new me yet and I think she’ll give you that

DOROTHEA

Do you ever stop and think about me?

A tiny screen’s the only place I see you now

I got nothing but well-wishes for ya

This place is the same as it ever was but you don’t like it that way 

It’s never too late to come back to my side 

You'rе a queen sellin’ dreams, sellin’ makeup and magazines 

From you I’d buy anything 

But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? 

I guess I’ll never know 

If you’re ever tired of being known for who you know, you’ll always know me.

CONEY ISLAND

If I can’t relate to you anymore then who am I related to?

And if this is the long haul how’d we get here so soon? 

Did I close my fist around something delicate?

Did I shatter you? 

Sorry for not making you my centerfold 

What’s a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me?

Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care? 

We were like the mall before the internet 

Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?

Did I leave you hanging every single day? 

When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face 

IVY

Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand

I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living 

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but it’s been promised to another 

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 

I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed 

Your opal eyes are all I wish to see 

I’d live and die for moments that we stole 

What would he do if he found us out? 

Dare to sit and watch what we’ll become 

It’s a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it 

It’s the goddamn fight of my life and you started it

COWBOY LIKE ME

Dancin’ is a dangerous game

I’m never gonna love again 

I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve 

Takes one to know one 

Never wanted love, just a fancy car 

You’re a cowboy like me 

I’m telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear 

You’re a bandit like me 

Never thought I’d meet you here 

We could be the way forward and I know I’ll pay for it 

The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up

The old men that I’ve swindled really did believe I was the one 

Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon 

Forever is the sweetest con

LONG STORY SHORT

I tried to pick my battles ‘til the battle picked me

I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides 

Long story short, it was a bad time 

If the shoe fits, walk in it ‘til your high heels break 

I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guy 

Now I’m all about you 

Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.

If someone comes at us, this time, I’m ready 

No more keepin’ score, now I just keep you warm 

Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things 

Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing 

He feels like home 

Long story short, I survived

MARJORIE

Never be so kind you forget to be clever

Never be so clever you forget to be kind

If I didn’t know better I’d think you were talking to me now

If I didn’t know better I’d think you were still around 

You’re alive in my head 

What died didn’t stay dead 

You’re alive, so alive 

Never be so polite you forget your power

Nevеr wield such power you forget to be polite 

I should’ve asked you questions 

Should’ve kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me 

I know better but you’re still around 

I still feel you all around

CLOSURE

It’s been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain

Yes, I’m doing better

I don’t need your closure 

Yes, I got your letter 

Don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled 

I’m fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candles 

I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life 

Staying friends would iron it out so nice 

EVERMORE

Gray November, I’ve been down since July

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrong 

I couldn’t be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermore 

Guess I’m feeling unmoored 

Can’t remember what I used to fight for 

Can’t not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost 

To be certain, we’ll be tall again 

Is there a line that I could just go cross? 

And when I was shipwrecked I thought of you 

It was real enough to get me through 

I dreamed of you 

I swear you were there 

I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn’t be for evermore
