For the love of loss

You are not a prisoner of your bloodline

Oh! The intimacy of adopting each other’s vocabulary.

[lunar-clementine]

and oh... the heartbreak of having to unlearn it all.

[whendidmythoughtsgocrazy]

And if I'm meant to be alone, please take away my desire to be loved.

You can’t reconcile with people who aren’t honest about how they mishandled you.

[aidashakur]

Still a hopeless romantic after all this time. Very insane of me.

[33bree3]

very irresponsible of me

Help me, God.

The way I breathe in your

essence,

your very being,

your state of matter —

That is different From it all,

It’s not like a drug —

It is a drug.

Potent and intoxicating,

beyond anything of mankind’s creation.

The addiction —

a high of surmountable levels.

The sky beneath my fingertips,

and the stars just above my head.

Even the burn of alcohol

is nothing compared —

the scorching blaze you alight in my soul.

You warm the depths of sin

with the heat of hellfire.

Help me, God.

The line I tread

is a delicate one.

So please, God, I beg you —

Break a bone of mine,

or even

tear open this mortal flesh.

But please…

The hurt of this ache

is unbearably painful —

salt upon an open wound,

while I pour down my throat as well,

hoping to numb

the taste of absence.

Memory is a burden.

[lunar-clementine]

That I shall willingly bear

If it means you remain in them

[arylleth]

to love someone is firstly to confess: i'm prepared to be devastated by you.

i dreamed of you. it made my heart ache.

[lunar-clementine]

so much so that

I was clutching

My invisible pearls that

Seemed to snake around my neck

Choking out the words from

Me

Everytime I saw you

Even in my dreams
