What right do I have to light their way,  
When shadows cling to me each day?  
How can I offer joy or cheer,  
When inside, darkness is all I fear?  

I stand and smile, a fragile mask,  
Hiding the weight of each unspoken task.  
What worth are my words, my soft embrace,  
When my heart drifts in a hollow space?  

Yet still, I try, despite the storm,  
To bring warmth, to help transform—  
For in my giving, I too might heal,  
And find in others the strength I feel.  

So even broken, I’ll still give,  
For sometimes it’s through others we learn to live.

I wonder...

What it's like to sleep

Do normal people get to dream?

Do they see lovely things?

I don't remember ever having those before...

Closing my eyes and waking up sore

Sleep-deprived, but I got eight hours...

Maybe I needed more...?

You're on the other side of this screen...

Fell asleep talking to me..

I've still got our conversation open

You seemed quite sweet but so soft-spoken...

I hope you dream of only lovely things...

Like dew drops, and sunshine, and an angel's wings

...Sleep well, my sweet little stranger....

We just met...

You're an alter from the system dating ours

You fell asleep talking to me

And I don't even know your name...

But after an hour with your laugh...

I know I will never be lonely again

I don't understand... I talk about my past and

They all say: I want to **** that old man

He's already dead and gone... Tell me...

What did he ever do that was so wrong?

Gave me a home... A place to stay...

Customers with which to spend my day

Not every guy can say he started making

Money at just ten... ****, I was so young...

Back then... That old man he was like a dad

So why's everyone getting so mad?

I just kept em all company as they...

Called me sweet names and a nice lil

Pay check at the end of the day

So maybe to you it was so wrong

But isn't it my fault fo agreeing?

For following along?

If... you need to hate somebody

Regarding this mess

Then just hate me cuz...

I hate myself

What words will be on my tombstone..?

Will they say I was a fighter...?

Or will they call me weak..?

Will they say I did my best...?

That I tried every challenge and every test..?

Or will they say that I was ill...?

My mental and physical fortitude was nonexistent...?

My smiles and effort did not matter at all..?

I don't want to go...

I want to stay...

I want to fight...

Spend the rest of my life...

With them...

With Ciel...

Making him smile...

Kissing away their tears...

Sharing our hopes and fears...

I will live

I WILL live

I WILL LIVE

I will fight, will never give up, will never give in

I am strong. I will win.

Sweet coffee and baklava

"The world is my oyster"

And "I lava you"

Cheesy quotes from

Sappy old blokes

Who were probably

Just like me and you

We say or hear those things

In movies or in shows

Even though they're nothing special...

I wonder what will happen with my words after

We, too, have to go?

I can't hear my own voice...

It's too loud... too many people... too much noise

When was the last time I had peace?

How long ago did silence lull me to sleep?

I wish I may wish I might...

Remember the wish I made on that night...

And if I were to pass in my sleep...

I give my soul to the lord to keep...

What soul? What soul?

So long ago I bartered with the devil...

Soulless, broken, quiet in a loud room

The shadow in the corner

Of the party

My job... is to protect

Not to hope, not to love, not to feel..

Simply to sit and wait in the dark

..Until he needs me again

No, I will not say my name

We will never be friends

I was born to sit here

Until he needs me again

The woes of a protector

Are not things of which

I will ever complain

I simply bide my time

Until he needs me again

And if never again I am needed

I will simply fade away

But this silly teenager...

Needs me everyday

In the dark of night, the moonlight gleams,
A woven net of shadows, tangled dreams.
The air is thick with fragrant wine,
And in my heart, desires entwine.

Beneath my skin, the pulse beats tight,
An ancient vine that twists in the night.
Olive branches bend with weight,
Heavy with words we never state.

Unspoken, they crawl within,
A fever that blooms beneath my skin.
Taste the salt, the sweat, the heat,
Where every thought and breath do meet.

Lips part with a trembling sigh,
Touching ink that whispers why.
I drink in your presence, drown in the sound,
As if your soul’s pulse can be found.

The air is velvet, soft and warm,
A breeze that dances, kissing the storm.
Magnolia blooms, creamy and pale,
Petals unfurl like a lover’s tale.

Longing is rooted, deep in my bones,
Hollows echo, like ancient stones.
I write in the silence, ink and wine,
Merging our hearts in a tangled line.

The sun bleeds a crimson kiss,
As desires burn with gentle bliss.
Inside, our bodies pulse and sway,
A rhythm that calls the night to stay.

We crawl together, beneath the vine,
A twist of love, so dark, divine.
A phrase, unspoken, but understood,
A soft, aching truth, forever good.

The night is long, the vine twists tight,
But in this love, we live tonight.

People tell me that I'm out of touch

That my head is stuck up in the clouds

Though my feet are on the ground

Truthfully to me the world is too much

I'm happier with the nerds in the crowd

Buried nose-deep in a book is how I'll be found

Never looking up even when you yell loud

Like a  Beauty without a Beast
