17/FTM/AUS a picture is worth a thousand words but i prefer the words
i read your horoscope before i read my own. learn what the planets have in store for you before i see what my own week will look like. you're always my first thought. in the morning as i wake i wonder if you slept okay. if you'll be at school. before i fall asleep, i think over the events of the day. were we okay? was everything normal? and then you appear in my dreams. an apparition of something i wish i could have. i put you before me. your life before mine. but never would you think the same.

jump in front of a bullet
i find myself reminiscing on the past a whole lot more than i ever thought i would. i think of the day i first started high school. bright eyes, long hair and a cheerful attitude. i look at myself in the mirror now. my final year of school with eye bags so deep you could drown in them. split skin and veins drained of blood. the cheerful attitude disappeared with the child i was 5 years ago, a distant memory now. my war-torn heart can no longer go through another day without breaking a little more and my brain is so full of thoughts that i fear one day they will spill from my ears. my hair's gone now. a reminder of hope so far lost that i doubt i'll ever find it. my eyes are barely dry anymore. my skin barely ever clear of blood. my face barely seen without a cloud of smoke surrounding it. my heart barely pumping. five years has taken it's toll on me and it is no way my fault. humans can cause other humans to do insane things. things unheard of. and i am the perfect example.

i don't remember how to breathe (t.w)
i can't even find words to express how i feel anymore. i used to be able to write these things like they were nothing but i find myself stumbling over letters to form words and putting those words into sentences is the most difficult task. i want to tell you i'm in love with you. but i can't. i can't even write it into a riddle for you to decipher anymore. i don't know how to speak around you because my tongue decides to twist itself in my teeth and my brain jumbles words like a jigsaw puzzle. how do i tell you i'm in love with you when i don't know how to talk?

words are not my friend.
i can't sleep anymore. it's funny how such a small thing will mess you up so bad. i can't think about it without a sickness overcoming me and i feel the sudden urge to throw up. i feel like you've tainted my perception of romance with the feel of your hand against my clothed skin. your tongue in my mouth like an invasive creature that i cannot cut out, it's funny how you took my drunken cheek kiss and turned it into something more. it's funny how you thought that, in my state, it was fine to press yourself against me and latch your lips to mine. "it was just a kiss" they say. but it was my first and the memory is barely there and it was barely special. not at all how i'd imagined it. i keep talking about it though. mentioning it just to talk about it as if letting the words "i made out with this guy" would bring back the memory. would make it less sickening to try and think of what i want to remember in order to forget.

invasive.
aphrodite couldn't help me even if she tried her hardest. there is no luck for me when it comes to love and achlys has taken my heart as her hostage. who would've thought that one can be pushed away five times after they throw all they are at another and still be stupid enough to fall again.

the gods can't help me now.
the smell of your cologne lingers on my clothes and it hurts my heart. you aren't mine but at the same time i think you are. there's something about the way we are with each other that makes me feel like we belong to each other. you let me hold you, never showing that you hate the way i drape myself over you like you do with others. you joke with me in a different way to the way you do with everyone else. people tell me that you act differently when you're with me and i wish i could tell you that everything you do brings a smile to my lips, something that doesn't seem to happen a lot anymore. i want to tell you that every time something reminds me of the way you move, talk, smell; my heart skips several beats. your cologne lingers on my clothes but you're not mine and i have to wash it away.

a lingering want.
in art we're learning about the human body and the forms it takes in artworks. i keep thinking of how i want to paint you. not just as a portrait but i want to run the colours down your bare skin and make you feel like the artwork that you are. the soft curve of your jaw. the roundness of your lips. the broad spread of your shoulders. i want to paint you a portrait but i feel like i won't get the dark colour of your eyes right or the way that your hair puffs. i don't want to mess up your beauty but i want you to know how much you resemble art.

i thought i had come so far from where i was three years ago. but here i am again, bleeding from wounds that seem to never heal.

seventeen years old.
❝ my whole world revolves around the way that your lips move to form my name and the way your fingers brush against my skin in the slightest of touches. i can't breathe when your close to me but i'm stuck not being able to breathe without your presence either. ❞ he smiled and shrugged. a one word response of ❝ thanks. ❞ that was it. that was all i had to hold onto after i spilled my heart and soul to him. i counted him as the fourth.

"Look, a star", I said He replied, "I know, it's beautiful" I was looking at the sky and he was looking at me
