Who Wouldn’t want you? Whose most demonic appetite Could you possibly fail to answer?

I know the way to your scars like I know the way around my house in the dark.

My big mistake was putting you first when I should’ve taken care of myself. It was crying into my pillow at 2AM because of you and wondering what you would do if you saw me cry. It was putting tons of concealer on to cover my dark circles after I’d spent another sleepless night when you didn’t text me back. My mistake was never telling you that I was worth so much more than the way you decided to treat me every day. It was waiting and waiting and being afraid that you might give me up. My big mistake was not giving you up.

I think my biggest mistake was loving you because you didn’t deserve it. e.e (via wordsparkle)

I reach out to the light, My hand slips right through, It sometimes feels the same way When I’m reaching out for you.

I miss you and I need you and I love you, but how do I say that without pushing you away?

You realize how much you truly miss someone when something happens, good or bad, and the only person you want to tell, is the one person who isn’t there.

The last thing I wanted to do was to run away. And if it’s not with you, probably, I’ll stay.

Cold coffee and wide open windows; watching the sun bathe us all in the same, loving light.

40 DAYS OF NIGHT

every single living thing will retreat will hide pull down the clouds for cover dig to unimaginable depths the air will shake with silence

the shadow first will suffocate the trees thick as honey it will cling to every pore every pock-mark on the face of the earth it will seep into the sea turn off the bioluminescent night light of the universe

a darkness so deep it will absorb the concept of gravity and life itself will disengage and float away

Rendezvous

There is protest  in my heart there is rage  in my veins I shy away  from everything this mess  of mundane circumstances this circular reality  of meaninglessness of repetitious rendevous with my polarized fate an entire existence lived in free fall between the extremes  of a pendulum an entire life lived trapped between two stations on a speeding train in a frenzied cycle of futility resonating with irrationality I get nauseous going back and forth in one place.

Take Away

Take away the happiness, Take away the love, Take away the strength, Take away the anger, Take away the pain, Take away the weakness, What’s left? Emptiness.

[80-47]

“Adjacent to me is irrationality and the other side intolerance. I shan’t accept anything else. My religion told me to love my neighbor but this is a gated community and I dont cross borders.”

Gracious Smile

Gif Source from the lovely @kitsn0w

The feeling of your smile makes me smile,

I long to get a glimpse of your smile from across the room,

Your smile comes from the heart that is so beautifully contagious,

The feeling of your smile makes me beam with happiness,

I can picture your gorgeous smile in my head,

Your deep eyes are smiling back at me as well…

Your eyes show me happiness, peace and understanding,

I can picture your enticing smile in my head,

Beautiful and deep brown eyes staring back at me…

The feel of your eyes is holding my own gaze to make me feel warm and peaceful,

When you’re peering into my nervous eyes; I wonder what you see in them…

Do you see the beauty that I see?

Are these eyes even real to me?

Are you just an imagination to me?

Where ever you are…are you smiling right now?

I’m smiling…

Because the feeling of your smile makes me smile…

I was alone in a dark place, shattered and quickly fading; I was empty, I lost my mind,  I’m surprised there was enough of me left, –for you to find. You were a candle in the dark,  comforting and inviting; You were loving and you were kind, You led me from my Hell and didn’t, –leave me behind. I fall back into my old ways, but when I do, I have you; You’re my hero, my closest friend, I’ll stand with you, against the world, –Till the very end. You are my heart and soul, I love you. Pour toujours et à jamais, Shana.

Defeaning Silence

I hear voices. 

Voices that creeps in my head everynight.

Voices that eats my lost soul.

“Sshh…”

I said.

The voices got louder.

They are shouting at me.

Ugly!

Fool!

Dumb!

Loner!

Loser!

“Sshh…”

I hushed them.

But the voices got louder.

Die!

Die!

Die!

I held my head.

I closed my eyes tightly.

My eyes that’s filled with tears.

“Stop.”

I whispered.

We don’t need you!

Die!

You’re a loser!

“Stop.”

Tears flowing on my flushed cheeks.

Die!

Fool!

“Stop!”

I shouted.

“Please stop!”

This is not me.

I can’t help my self anymore.

With all my strength, I shouted once more.

“Stooooooooop!”

The voices stopped.

I opened my eyes.

I hear nothing.

There’s no more voices.

“Hello?”

I asked. Whispering.

There’s no one.

“Hello?”

I looked around.

Silence.

All I hear is silence.

Deafening silence.
