dear reader - taylor swift

[midnightsslut]

dear reader is a CRAZY song when you think about it. I am so rotten that you can’t even trust my words about my own life. I am alone, and it’s entirely my fault. my house is empty. I have no comfort or warmth. I desperately tried to escape my own life, and I ended up all alone.

midnights actually had so many lyrical gems. sometimes we all get just what we wanted. carnations you had thought were roses, that's us. you know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love. every single thing to come has turned into ashes. i'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror. what if i told you none of it was accidental? i'm the problem, it's me. now that i'm grown, i'm scared of ghosts. time can't stop me quite like you did. diesel is desire, you were playing with fire. do you wish you could still touch her? memories feel like weapons. never take advice from someone who's falling apart. didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind in the shoes i gave you as a present. you were bigger than the whole sky. now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings. you'd break your back to make me break a smile. i've been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless. my hand was the one you reached for. i find myself running home to your sweet nothings. i wouldn't marry me either. to a house not a home all alone cause nobody's there, where i pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care. putting someone first only works when you're in their top five. confess my truth in swooping sloping cursive letters. do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes? our love is blacking out. you made a mess of me. do something babe, say something. it's never enough. if you tasted poison you could've spit me out at the first chance. no one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire. i'm damned if i do give a damn what people say. it hits different because it's you. risk something. i regret you all the time. a wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes. ask me what i earned from all those tears. sometimes we all get some kind of haunted.

“Dear reader,”

Time for a redraw! From the piece I made for one of my favorite scenes from this fic by @heavilycaffeinatedsblog !! It’s been one year since I first made that fanart for this fic, and my style has changed immensely, but my love for this fanfic has not. Dear Reader will always have a special spot in my heart <3

(I highly recommend checking out their fics btw. The author is a wonderful writer.)
