that one guy you may find in one corner of a coffee shop worshipping books all alone.

i didn’t want to make everything about me.

it’s been 3 months, a little less actually,

it’s been a little less than three months of being told how disgustingly selfish i have been.

a little less than 5 mins of realising how disgustingly selfish i am,

my facade of being loving and caring and gentle and all whitewashed self bare, naked, ugly in a glass enclosure for everyone to see, it’s being displayed for free, i try to hide in shame, i try to hide in guilt, i try to hide in powerlessness.

no one notices the bruises, the wounds, the blood streaming down from behind the band aids, no one hears the screams barely escaping the vault of my shut mouth. no one sees past my ugly self in the glass enclosure, suffocated, gasping for the air, an ugly state of breathlessness.

i scream, i scream hauntingly loud,

i didn’t want to make everything about me.

i wasn’t making everything about me.

the voices don’t reach the visitors,

they don’t trust me,

the voices hauntingly echo inside

and burn me down bare, completely stripped of flesh and muscles.

the visitors see the heart, struggling,

panting at the ribcages, yelling for help.

i beg on my knees, i beg them to hear me out, i beg them to trust me for once,

i wasn’t making everything about me,

i wasn’t making everything about me,

i wasn’t making everything about me.

i find it stupidly funny that people who love you for who you are, are also the people who leave you for who you are.

The fact that humans can create art just for the sake of beauty is proof that there is more to life than just survival.

10 Types of Kisses:

(feel free to use these<33 credits are appreciated!! tag me when you write the 2nd, 4th, 6th and the last one! plss )

lazy kisses as they admire you

^ fingers delicately trialing your jaw as they kiss your lips

messy kisses>>>> curly hair, ruffled sheets and half buttoned clothes as you just want more and at that moment, they're the most beautiful soul to you ever

soft kisses- where they're just lying beside you, hands playing with your hair as they trail tender kisses all over your lips

needy kisses ! nibbling, biting, groaning and moaning into the kiss, absolutely being a mess and too hot to handle, where they cradle your body between their arms (GOOD SHI GOOD SHITT)

kissing and realising this is the person you'll always love, you'll always want to touch and snuggle with

good bye kisses - kisses lingering like liquor in each other's lips, bitter but sweet, "I'll always come back to you, love. you're my home afterall."

shy kisses !! when you're the one pulling them closer, and they nuzzle their face in your crook after the kiss, hands around your waist as their ears gets red !

kisses on your body ♡ frail kisses on your shoulder! on your lower back, belly and trailing to your neck, collarbones, lips..

the type of kiss where you can't find words to say after, or the ones where your forehead lingers against each other's

prohibited kiss - you're not even supposed to be seeing each other but your hands are on his hair and his hands around your waist, lower bodies pressing into each other's as you kiss >>>>

forbidden love prompts:

(feel free to use <3 credits are appreciated :) do tag when you write since i love love reading all ur pretty drabbles:))

you're in their arms, hearts strumming together, inches away from giving in, when they look at you and ask, "breaking the rules for one night is no sin, right?"

"why are you giving me that smirk, princess?" amused, you move in closer, swirl closer in their embrace, moving to the music. " I like you more than my urge to hate you, how wonderful is that? "

"Why do you keep ignoring me?" "Why are you obsessed with me?" "..oh "

"i know you will behead me for this but i don't care." and then they proceed to pull you into a kiss, hands roaming all over your body

"do you regret last night? do you-" "Yes, I do. It shouldn't have happened!" "You know what I regret? Thinking you could ever love me, truly."

"as long as i get to hold you close, I'm not afraid." "i love you, no matter how this ends up."

"we can't-" "no, sweetheart. You can't. I'm wearing my heart out in the sleeves for you, and you're.. throwing it away. every time. I'm sorry, but please, please do not--ever regret this. I'll be gone. forever."

"i can't lose you.. not you too" "aren't you the one pushing me away?"

"YES, Okay? I admit. yes, I am in love with you. But I can't.. love you."

"why are they always around you?" "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HAHA"

"you have got to stop being obvious, bro??" "excuse me?? I'm trying my level best. you're blindingly.. beautiful. hard not to stare at."

"your dad's sitting right there, what do you think he'll think of us?" "..... you have a death wish, love?"

"I'm sorry I'm putting you through this." the angst mygodf

(feel free to use <3 sfw/nsfw! plsplspls tag me when yall write 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and the 8th I SWEARR;>|;¦ ^€~[)

after the first kiss, one of them is completely freaking out, "i swear i didn't mean to- i just, didn't- you were there and then suddenly- i am so-" and the other pulls them by their neck into the most passionate, knee weakening kiss

"kiss me" "I'm afraid i won't be able to stop if i do so, darling." "then don't."

you stop, brows furrowed, "how do you do that?" they look back, casually, "do what, love?" your heart strums against your chest as you weave your hand through theirs, "you always know the right things to say. how?"

"choose a flavor, chocolate or vanilla?" they smile, it stretches a little too far as they lean in and mumble, "maybe you."

"were you just--moaning my name, honey?"

when you come home late from work and they stumble to the door, their frown turning into a fond smile as they swoop you up in their arms. your tiredness melt away as they kiss your cheeks, "how was your day, baby?"

resting on your partner's lap while they try to finish their work and come to bed with you and they ask, "bored, love?" you smile, feeling their hand pat your head, "nah, i quite like watching you"

"i love you." the sun drains of color into the darkness as they trace your cheek, lying beside each other on the rooftop. you laugh, "imma throw you off the rooftop, babe" and there it was, that was your love language.

back hugging them and placing kisses on their shoulder. "i think I'm about to combust" they say, laughing.

soft gestures between friends turning lovers:

(feel free to use <3 tag meeee do i even need to ask?? the 3rd and 4th one from the last! omg taggmee)

fluttering gazes at their lips

subtle glances and almost immediately looking away

shyly holding their hand and putting them in your pocket for warmth. yes pls

stuttering when you're too close to them

supporting them through everything

pretending to be their date for an event

dancing with them and every where they touch, feels like its being ignited

feeling safer in their arms :)

when they say they feel safe in your embrace *.♡｡✰♡｡

lingering glances

feeling out of breath whenever you look at them

hugs feel a lot more intimate between the two of you

defending them in their absence

kissing their forehead/cheek while wishing good-night

"please say it" (can u hear my heart tearing)

instead of asking you out on a date, they end up at your doorstep with a big ass bouquet, a cheeky smile and a handwritten letter!!!

when they hesitate to kiss because it'll change everything but you pull them in without a second thought

from feeling surreal at the thought of waking up beside them to actual doing so, and being smothered by their love

i often feel like a sealed bottle of soda. too many words wanting to break through it, come out. and, like anybody would, had they been in my position, i am very scared. of too many ifs and buts. my words wanna come out but they aren't ready for unsolicited implications just yet.

i don't mind getting hurt but i am afraid, what if others do. and this dilemma, i tell you, is very secret and you might discover it some time, written in unreadable handwriting when i die. in my journal entries where i write things i should've been written in love letters and confessional poetries.

[junaidhossain]

words, i tell you, are either bullets or flowers.

whoaaa-

[junaidhossain]

is this only me who just keeps reading the appreciations of the books that i possess bec i can't get enough of the mere fact that i own a copy of that very book and i can touch it, read it, feel it and cry over it altogether unlike everyone whenever i want? and it sometimes feels like my personal achievement that people are praising it over and over again? no, please tell me i am not the only one. i can't be the only one.

i’ve a habit of falling in love– with books, music, the green highlighter, page 47 of my favourite anthology, the last text i sent, the moon i confess to, the lowercase letters, my handkerchief, my mother’s saree, the girl i write poems about.

i often think, love is only a lightyear away; one small step or a worried blink away. love is only a pledge away; one kneel down or an anxious glance away. love is only a confession away; a measured heartbeat or an agonising sigh away.
