A princess accidentally wrongs a witch and is cursed so that no man shall ever love her. Fortunately, the princess is a lesbian, and is overjoyed. When the witch finds out her spell backfired she is furious, and goes to confront the princess. Except now that she’s a little calmer, the princess is super cute? Sparks fly, and not because of a magic spell.

Lucifer isn’t as evil as everyone thinks, actually he’s not really evil at all. Hell is actually just a refuge for the souls god deemed undeserving of His love.

Your hands are always cold. No matter how hot it is around you or how nervous you get. You find out it’s because ghosts are holding your hand and the only way to feel warmth again in you hands is to help them cross over to the other side.

Split nerve endings

My brain engulfed in flames

The heat tears through my body

Heartbeats give way

For blistering and popping sounds

Crackling hair

And shattering teeth

Watch me

With disdain

Vaguely veiled

And wear your supremacy

Like a protective coating

As you warm your hands

On my ruin

As you complain

About what a scene I am

And praise the one holding the matches

Walking away

Once my light has burned out

Move on to the next

And piss on my memory

[cochleacochlea]

[pageofteacups-blog]

Your skin like bones

I hear you rattling as you approach

You're never far from me

You look smooth, soft

But you are hard

Your embrace is broken glass

Raking across my cheeks

I hear you moaning at night

Shaking in the corner

And sometimes I ask you into my bed

There are nights I have no warning of your visitation

I awaken to your fingers

Pressing into my skull

And your words bursting out of my own mouth

You watch me poison myself

The only thing that truly delights you

I give in long enough to appease

Take myself to the edge of life

Just close enough

That you loosen your grip

And I can breath, for a moment

But too often I sleep with your weight on my chest

And I despise you but I can't let you leave

[pageofteacups-blog]

My hand dipped slowly

Into murky waters

Praying for them to take me

Sirens pulling me under

And seaweed choking out my last breath

As it does in the darkness

Icy skin

And eyes open

Cruel fate

Making me keep watch

Even as I achieve

That which I begged for

My spirit floats, restless

With nothing left to soothe

My grave needs no marker

The songs that bubble up, and out of my haunted memory

Will be my epitaph

There shall be no rest, and certainly no peace

I grew a thousand spirits in life

That clung to me and clawed

Weighed me down into these depths

And now they are free to speak

And to devour

And to sing with me in the night

Harmonies carried on the tide

They will not let me sleep

[moved-to-ohsappho-see-you-there]

Writer Things 👀

Always cold, chapped hands from scribbling / typing all the time

Has random knowledge from obscure research

Knowing what everyone’s name means

Messy / always tied up hair

Dark circles

100s of Pinterest boards which don’t appear to make any sense

Loads of abandoned notebooks

Always studying nature and people closely for future reference

Ink stained sheets

Writing notes which don’t make sense later

Mess mess mess mess

Having to remind yourself you can’t just survive on hot drinks and toast

Uses one punctuation mark too often

Handwriting that gets bigger the more excited you get

Desperate to know ALL the words

[lesbianhoneys--blog]

women as religion -

as exhale between prayer

as whisper in the pews

women as the reason i damn myself

again and again and again

abandoning the church steps for chaos

(like disbelieving) -

my god is every woman.

i spend my sunday mornings busy,

woman and i pray together

on our backs, on our knees -

isn’t this believing?
