17/F I really should be studying right now. / / But here I am, transforming my feelings - or lack thereof - into words.
He drew elaborately but never nicely. He drew flowers, cigarettes, and tears. He drank elaborately but he never cried. He drank beer but never flavored strawberry. He collected his empty cigarette packets in his drawer, like I collected the broken hearts and beaten skeletons of lost lovers in my closet. In his black car, I looked down at the city lights at night, while he looked in my eyes. I let him touch my body and I let him touch my mind, parts of me no one has ever touched or seen. He let me delve in the tunnels where he hid his feelings, nightmares and dreams. I never counted the days. He took me to a zone of another time. His upper lip was as scarred as his mind. His eyebrows were softly arched trails for my thumbs. His eyes were as dark as he wanted his soul to seem. The darkness appeared on his skin only in the shape of a black tattoo of a rose that I’ve touched but never kissed. Perhaps others have seen sparks of the little but strong light deep inside his heart, but only I felt it with my hands and let it drown me. Only I felt his warm tears rolling down my own cheeks. The first time he said he loved me was the last time we talked. He was in tears and in pieces. And then he left me peace-less. He was the only boy I haven’t told about love even though he was the only person my heart had learned to love.

I never told him I loved him.
My feelings a temple My body a shrine In your honor Carve your secrets with your fingers deep into my skin Light the candles in my eyes with your raging flames Teach me the anthem of your name for me to sing for me to scream in a voice of sheer emotion Touch me with your Midas hands make me glow like gold make me hard like gold Hold me with chains of sapphires and emeralds so I never leave Hold me with chains of sapphires and emeralds so you never grieve Arms lifted, eyes wide, lips plumped, hair pulled, skin smothered Watch me beg you for everything but mercy

the love you gave
My neck is sore tonight I don’t know why I can’t sleep I don’t know why The people who made my heart full are dead The people who made my heart empty are dead I should be able to sleep I want to be held But I don’t want the people I know to hold me I want to cry But only in front of a complete stranger Do I miss him? Do I miss her? Even though they watered my sorrow? I miss everyone when I’m lonely My life is empty No goals No games No pleasure No purposes No love No lovers No feelings No rhythm No rhyme Nothing at all But yet here I am Overwhelmed with tears hold me please My neck is sore tonight

Being the bad guy in someone’s story doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person.

She drew people all the time, but if she’s asked to draw herself, she’d leave the page blank.

The only thing harder than being with me, is being me.
