26/F I write about things I never learnt how to say
This is how I imagine glitter would feel If it was an emotion like the others. Shimmering, blinding and bold when the light hits it, Less noticable in the dark, but always there, Steady, ready to shine. If you touch it from one way, it's smooth and unique If you try from the other, it's fluid. It's exciting, it's fun To some it's a cliché, to some it's their favorite thing I've been feeling like the second My heart has been getting covered in glitter One that does not plan to go away

Glitter
I know how this story ends, I've been here before, all too well. I love, you tear apart. I forgive, you take control. A chain we never take off. I held it close, grasping. You pushed it, it snapped. I’m collecting every piece until it’s full— but it never is. I shake my shackles. You tell me to be quiet. When it’s just us— why am I too loud? Every step, every drop, you're there to catch. It’s not your fault. Your hands were never made for something so fragile. I scream silently, your eyes avoiding me. What did I ever do to drown in both your presence and absence? I hate it here. All my flaws, all your mistakes, shattering my soul, stealing all my hope. My hands could slip free, yet I refuse to take them off. I stare at them, grieving. Where would I go, if not with you? We’re both trapped in here.

Fragments
feeling the cracks in the walls. watching the floor crumble. my life is unraveling. im not crying. i cannot yet. ill have to wait for a different stage - its not how denial works. running my fingers along the lines. it cuts. it cuts deeper. deeper still. i see the blood but i dont feel it yet. why do we hold onto ruins? to the ashes of things we never had? i try to keep it all together. i want to scream and rush to hold the base together - but i cant move. im just standing still with the slowly settling emptiness. it was never there. it was all in my head. i knew that already and i know it now, more than i ever did. reality is seeping trough the gaps but i dont want to look. why is it so difficult to face something youve faced many times before? and why is it so hard if you knew it was there all along? i want the rubble to bury me. i want to take me with the rest. i want this life i could have never had, these walls i painted with love knowing it would fall. i want to be free, trapped under all that never really was.

seeping trough
let me fall into your arms like a leaf hold me close enough that I can taste your soul let me drown in the galaxy inside you devour everything I am, claim it as yours let all my senses revolve around you feel that it's only us in this universe let my thighs shiver from your touch stop my breath with your gaze let me drift far far away with you kiss the broken traces on my heart let my skin burn from your fingers light my being on fire because I could never go back to the world I lived in after feeling your lips on mine

drops
Floating in space A lonely star with a dying light Where does it end Where am I going Seen so many miracles And so many stars Without shine When did they all Fall apart Kept flying, Fading But what happens if two stars collide Maybe that's how Beautiful explosions are created Forever lasting Maybe that was my destination All along To be broken and reformed By your light

he's here and once again i fall slowly light as a feather gravitating to the river to be washed away by the peaceful flow

The lack of sound creates a pressure on my body my skin, my flesh, it doesn't exist my bones are silently fading as my soul has less and less space to stay I don't move the world is floating around me but I'm chained to the ground they don't make a sound I'm powerless I'm laying down letting the void devour all I look at the light from the tiny lamp but I can feel how silent it is Do I exist? Did I even exist at all? I could make a sound but I couldn't hear a thing I'm shouting in my mind hoping for an echo running out of

.
Yov've lost my respect I would have Died for you And come back I would have Walked trough hell Living and buried To see your light again I wasn't scared Of the universe I was shouting From the top of my lungs But you chose fear Over me My throat hurts now And you left your lips covered

Mute
It's been a while Since I came here It's been a while Since I thought about you If flowers are supposed to bloom Why have I always been dead If love is supposed to last forever Why am I all alone
