ugh why must I be always so repulsed by my own vulnerability but I find it very moving and impressive if other people are vulnerable with me????

(You said your favourite colour was red)

I took my knife

Cut open my insides

Depth of the wound measured by my greed

You stand there and watch me bleed.

The blood spills and paints your shirt

Your eyes look confounded and... hurt;

Skeptical, confused a hint of every emotion

I hand you the paint brush dipped in my violent devotion.

You step back, pull away your hand

Yes the act is revolting but please understand,

Honey, I would bleed myself dry

If it meant you could paint red hues in your sky.

-Artemis (nighttimemuses)

"i read the book you were talking about" okay then kiss me

[nighttimemuses]

Everyone keeps telling me I'm capable of more, that i haven't reached my full potential yet but there's a little voice inside of me that says "this is all you are. This is all you'll ever be" and it's eating me alive

[nighttimemuses]

Will I be something?

Am I something?

And the answer comes:

You already are.

You always were.

And you still have time to be.

I LOVEEEEEE the quote in your description

I remember the first time I read it istg my heart skipped a beat <3

Ikr!! I love it so much. It's on my quote wall, so whenever I look at it my heart fills with a sense of hope for this otherwise miserable world. I remember the feeling when i read it for the first time. Glad you feel the same way :)

Throwback to when Hozier said "There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene, Only then I am human, Only then I am clean". I need to go lie down for a minute.

"He smiled, and his face was like the sun."

Madeline Miller, the song of Achilles

[nighttimemuses]

"I could recognise him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."

-Madeline Miller, the song of Achilles

[nighttimemuses]

"I silently wished peace be upon you,

How are you doing, you, my whole being ?"

[nighttimemuses]

Hozier really said "With the war of the fire my heart moves to its feet, Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat, Feel it soft and as pure as snow, Fell in love with the fire long ago" and expected me to not go insane. How is that fair

[nighttimemuses]

When Hozier said "After the insects have made their claim; After the foxes have known our taste; I'd be home with you" and when Madeline Miller said "When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him" i just... Lemme have a mental breakdown first, we'll talk later.

"If you must die, I’ll envy even the earth that wraps your body."

"If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression; Of something beautiful, but annihilating."

-Sylvia Plath

[nighttimemuses]

"You want to be like Persephone, loved tenderly by a god

To have power to wield in his kingdom

But dear, you are such an Icarus, in love with a god

To be thrown back to the sea when his fiery passion melts your wings"

-to love vs be loved by God
