   of course i'll wait while you're hiding    of course i'll wait while you're deciding

           but don't shy from the light             it'll never harm you                              don't shy from the light                              it'll never harm you

    of course i'll stay while you're denying     of course i'll stay while you wander blindly

            i would be consumed in that overwhelming existence. for beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.

                                                             --- every 𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵 is terrifying.

A small thing is the heart, my heart. A big thing is love, my love.

I’m in love with someone there / pretending not to be in love with me / my presence isn’t necessary anymore

i carved the face of someone no longer alive into / the sky so that i did not grieve alone. i plucked the moon. peeled / its rind. as the world turned in the dark, i filled myself on its pulp.

The place that I fit in doesn’t exist, / Until I destroy it.

             was I stupid to love you ?               was I reckless to help ?         was it obvious to everybody else                that I'd fallen for a LIE ?

          you were NEVER on my side             fool me once, fool me twice        are you 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱 or 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓮 ?            now you'll never see me cry              there's just no time to die

He is half of my soul, as the poets say.

Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles (via luthienne)

[nathanielorion]

I think I did right to go out alone into the field,

where the grass meets the riverbank, where the water

turns to honey and the angel waits to be wrestled

into the silky, filmy silt. I watch the bow of his spine,

head tilted down, and wonder if this is where

my words turn to blackberries on my tongue, my name

tipping out of my mouth in a purple-black cascade.

There is fate here, fate to stomach – destiny to bear

like weight, the angel not breathing, poised

like a predator but shaped like a brother.

[salemwitchtrials-deactivated202]

I am still a thing afraid of itself— a steel trap with no teeth.

Bloodsport, Yves Olade (via 2goood2b4gotten)

Love makes you feel out of control. I think that’s how you know it’s right.

-Danny Diamond on That Wedding by Jillian Dodd (via suspend)

               you taught me the COURAGE of 𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓻𝓼 before you left                   how 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 carries on endlessly, even after death                 with shortness of breath, you explained the INFINITE                              how 𝓻𝓪𝓻𝓮 and 𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 it is . . .

                                              to even exist

                            i spent all of the 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 I've saved                                we were always a losing game                                small-town kid in a big arcade                           i got ADDICTED to a losing game

                          all i know . . .                                     loving you is a 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 game
