the words in my mouth feel like a sinking ship. “I love you” can be found in the wreckage at the bottom of the ocean I could try to swim to it. but I am not fond of the idea of drowning.

"a moment: part v"

the words in my mouth feel like a sinking ship. “I love you” can be found in the wreckage at the bottom of the ocean I could try to swim to it. but I am not fond of the idea of drowning.

there was something surreal about the way he looked in the moonlight: he was stained with shadows and painted with smoke clouds and his arm around my waist felt like an anchor. every breath that ghosted my neck was coated in warmth and our hands found each other in the darkness with perfect ease. there was something surreal about the way he looked at me: like I was meant to be his.

"a new flame"

there was something surreal about the way he looked in the moonlight: he was stained with shadows and painted with smoke clouds and his arm around my waist felt like an anchor. every breath that ghosted my neck was coated in warmth and our hands found each other in the darkness with perfect ease. there was something surreal about the way he looked at me: like I was meant to be his.

trapped in the greyscale world of the night where there is no color and there is no light where heavy, tired thoughts will thrive and bittersweet memories come alive

I’ve waited all my life to find that someone who could stand my pride my stubbornness, my independent ways that aren’t exactly patient I found you in the driver’s seat of a beat-up jeep and down the pier with both bare feet your smile was enough to turn my fondness into something worse I knew you you could take my hand and hold me tight and I‘d walk with you through the night no words were needed to describe the way I felt by your side I loved you

I am made of untapped potential and stubborn resolve: an inferno rages underneath my skin and the ocean courses through my veins. I hold an unlit match in one hand and a water hose in the other. I could set it all on fire; make it all come crashing down. or, I could drown the rest of the earth. perhaps I'm the one to start the flame, and the one to put it out, but the world doesn't know that yet.

"a double-edged sword"

I am made of untapped potential and stubborn resolve: an inferno rages underneath my skin and the ocean courses through my veins. I hold an unlit match in one hand and a water hose in the other. I could set it all on fire; make it all come crashing down. or, I could drown the rest of the earth. perhaps I'm the one to start the flame, and the one to put it out, but the world doesn't know that yet.

I dreamt of you in technicolor a vivid sunset of fleeting touches and flashes of smiles I walked through hope and didn’t stop to wonder why everything was so bright and nothing felt real but it didn’t take long for the color to fade

I’m fighting and I’m losing and I’m falling apart at the seams of which I’ve sewn myself and I am so tired. I’m tired of fighting. there is a vice closed around my chest because I don’t have the strength to pry it apart anymore like I used to.

black for the night at the edge of the earth silver as the light of each day's rebirth white in the fog of our clouded minds pink like the loves who left us behind blue for the calm hiding before the storm red for the fury in which we can transform grey for the knowledge best untold gold in the hopes and the dreams we hold green in the envy and promises untrue violet like the fear of losing you

when did I stop being afraid of the dark? was it when I got older and grew out of the childish fears of horrible beasts and unseen ghosts? was it when I decided that I could take on the zombies and witches by myself? or was it when I realized that the only monsters in this world look and sound like me?
