21/F/under the stars Just a college kid with a love for words and a small obsession with bears
the angel on my shoulder picked up smoking, the devil on the other took up yoga— they don't know how much they have in common.

you could be good for each other
You cannot create a monster and then condemn it hate its ugly features it’s terrible gait You cannot be afraid to look into it’s cold eyes touch it’s rough skin or feel it’s hot breath You must face the consequences Because when I look into the mirror I do not see myself but all of what you’ve made me I see pale skin and bruised lips and bloodied knuckles and a demonish grin I see a monster ready to do monstrous things.”

Sadistic Lover

sleepless
Dark eyes and even darker hair in windy curls of confusion and sleep deprivation. Pale hands that shake and a busy mind at work, scribbling words of romance into blank pages. He wrote of how the curve of her cheeks fit just right in his touch, how her voice sent shivers down his spine, and of how her lips curled ever so slightly when she knew something he didn’t. He wrote about how she left, hips swaying head down with her arms crossed over her chest, tears streaming over the cheeks he’d give anything to kiss again. What had he done? He wrote about the color of her eyes, of her lips, and of her tongue. He wrote of the memories that were beginning to fade, the little bruised that still stained her skin. He had put them there, on her hips, her shoulders, and stomach, marks of love and of hate. Dark eyes, brimmed with tears, and even darker hair tangled in pale hands that shook so much they knocked over caramel colored coffee, staining his scratched words of lost romance.

Lost Romance
her touch was soft, mapping out the constellations of freckles on his shoulders and back, pale skin, blue eyes and golden hair against the dark sheets of the bed, words of honey left her lips, spreading warmth throughout his body, she was the sun he had been chasing for years, too bad eclipses only last for a few brief moments.

Eclipses
I am lost in a world where griffins fly and the faries flutter through the trees, I am lost in a world where mermaids inhabit the lake, where dragons are curled around mountains and magic is complete real I am lost in a world where I am free, a prince/ss that does not need saving because I have saved myself I am lost in my own mind, so please, do not disturb
