i'm nothing but the empty space between what you wanted and what you got

@sunburnedink

[sunburnedink]

i cannot be loved i am unlovable. how could one love an undead soul

@sunburnedink

[sunburnedink]

one day you'll crawl to me and i'll say "yes, come home."

@sunburnedink

[sunburnedink]

please stop loving me because i know i can't stop loving you and i know soon enough one of our hearts will break into two

on forbidden love @sunburnedink

[sunburnedink]

i think of you and my lips pucker my friends know this they call me a sucker they look at me with awe wanting to feel the way i do but then again that's how i wish you'd feel too

not quite unrequited // @sunburnedink

the thing you are most afraid to write. write that.

this is how we say goodbye with bitter words, and gritted teeth as we slowly let go of our belief of something softer: a soothing relief no longer young or naive no longer able to believe this is how we say goodbye, ‘fuck you’ 'i hope you die’ @sunburnedink

[sunburnedink]

i fell into you

easily

and kindly

i asked you to let me stay

and you held me

easily

and tightly

i wandered from you

easily

and respectfully

i asked you to stay

and you left me

easily

and regretfully

you fell into me

hard

and quickly

you begged me to stay

and i held you

hard

and sickly

you wandered from me

hard

and painfully

you pushed me away

and i held you

hard

and disdainfully

i left that day,

you’ll fall again

and on that day

i’ll say that i didn’t,

and i still have bruises

while you still have love.

no empathy, no remorse just a whole lot of love and an angelic voice

'i love you' now has a bitter aftertaste.

am i dissociating?

[sunburnedink]

I’m not suicidal I swear; I just need to get out of here.

I was more when I was alive.

Have you ever tried to cast the perfect person for your character of color only to see the same couple of face claims over and over again? Well I have a solution for you!

Face Claim Diversity Presents: The Face Claims of Color Directory!

Face Claim Diversity is brand spanking new, fresh off the lot, state-of-the-art blog dedicated to providing resources just for face claims of color. For the past few months, I’ve been working on the directory and the themes and I’m ready to show-case it! 

The directory is easy to use, features tons of people of color (though it’s still very much a work-in-progress!), has plenty of options to narrow down your search, and has a guide in case you need help. I’ve tried to find lesser-known models, actors, and musicians to feature in the directory, though there still are some familiar faces. When you hover over the pictures, more information will show up.

As time goes on, I will add to the directory. But, since I am in school full-time and work, much of my time is taken up. To make things go faster for me, submit a face claim for me to add if you’d like! Also, if you’re interested, please consider rating the blog so I can make it the best it can be. You can also be a part of this project by sending me a message to apply to be a mod!

Please reblog this post if you’d like and to spread awareness! I’d appreciate it!

The directory can be found here!

REBLOG IF YOU HAVE A POETRY/ART BLOG

I want to follow more blogs and I’m also updating my FAV BLOG LIST so if you want me to consider you and I’m not following you then reblog this.

I dreamed about you last night different name and different face same intent (I guess calling it a dream is giving you too much credit, but you get it) I woke up at 4 am in a cold sweat it's 10 am and that's as bad as it got I guess I've learned to cope by now but my appetite's been gone for days I guess that was the preamble or what not

we get better // sunshine

[sunburnedink]

what if I loved you too much to bear if I loved you a little less, would you still be here? if I told you I hated you in every other word every time you opened your mouth that's all I ever heard would that pacify your need for validation? would that validate your form of sedation? well fuck that, I'm passionate and loud and it took me so long, but at last I am proud I love with the intensity of tidal waves I destroy landmarks and fill the darkest caves I love with gentleness of rain I skitter gently across your skin to distract from the pain I love with the ferocity of forest fire after all, destruction is the source of desire I love with the glow of candlelight a gentle companion during the night I love with the rage of a storm yet I'll sweep you off your feet and carry you home I love with the giddiness of the breeze I'll ruffle through your hair with childlike ease I love with the tremble of earthquakes bow down when you hear the ground shake I love with the wholesomeness of trees my love branches out as far as one sees I loved you too much, my dear you carried too much hate for me to bear.

i’ve always been a little temperamental.

[sunburnedink]

you cannot avoid your shortcomings you must look directly at them and ask yourself 'how can I do better?' hopefully you'll have an answer to that question I have yet to find mine.

have you ever felt like a failure?
