#meant
I had the softest, strangest dream– sweet as silk, yet edged with flame, a hush of longing wrapped in dark, a quiet pulse that spoke your name. Beside me lay a distant world, turned away, too tired, too still– but somewhere deeper, under breath, another hunger bent my will. And then– like dusk that knows my every sin, you slipped into the space within. Dressed in black, a shadowed grace, no face to hold– yet I could tell, my heart knew yours without a doubt, like something summoned, something fell. And softly– like a prayer I shouldn’t keep, I whispered low, almost asleep– teddy bear.... teddy bear.... The name melted on my tongue, a fragile thing, a dangerous thread, half devotion, half desire, a place where innocence had bled. I moved to you, small and warm, a trembling thing drawn to your heat, gentle, aching, almost shy– yet undone at your feet. My eyes found yours– and stayed there, caught, as if the world had come to rest, as if every secret I ever hid had risen quietly in my chest. There was no rush– only rhythm, slow and deep, a closeness that felt almost sacred, a promise only dreams could keep. You held me like you meant it– not soft.... but certain, still, like I was something to be kept, not broken– only bent to will. And I– I didn’t fight, I didn’t flee, I let it take the rest of me.... Because it was you. Something dark, yet tender too, a sweetness laced with something wild, like being seen too deeply through– not a woman.... almost a child in the way I trembled, the way I stayed, the way I quietly obeyed. teddy bear.... Again it slipped– a sacred sin, a name I wasn’t meant to keep, yet wore it softly on my lips like something mine, like something deep. You drew the breath out of my chest, not cruel– just claiming what was there, and in that space between restraint, I found myself laid open.... bare. Not broken– no, but reshaped slow, like dark affection learning light, like every hidden, aching need had finally stepped into the night. And I felt tears– not sharp, not sore, but something warm I can’t ignore, a quiet joy, a trembling plea– stay like this.... stay here with me.... Because with you, even the shadows felt like home, even the ache was softly known. I don’t want perfect, polished love, I don’t want gentle hands alone– I want the way you hold me close like something fragile you still own. Your flaws, your voice, your stubborn mind– every edge I shouldn’t crave, every part that makes you YOU is every part that makes me cave. So if I whisper it again– if I let this feeling show.... teddy bear.... Will you hear me this time? Because you know– no one else will ever be this hunger wrapped in loyalty, this aching, endless, burning thread– this love that feels like destiny. So take me– not harsh, but sure, not loud, but something more.... Something that lingers in my skin, something I can’t ignore. Make me yours– your wild, your soft, your little bunny, sweet and lost, caught between the need to kneel and the need to be devoured at cost. Call me yours in silent ways, trace your presence, leave it there, make me soft and wild at once– your little bunny.... for her teddy bear. Or are you scared? Not bold enough to take the flame, not selfish enough to stake your claim, not reckless enough to choose me whole– and set our worlds alight the same? So choose me. Just once– don’t turn away, don’t let this fire decay, take my hand and run with me– before I fade, before I stray. ♡ lil-usagi

"About success "
In a world filled with people who should stand beside us as our equal yet lonely is the world we live in divided is the world we been in happy to pretend, behind closed doors wishing it all would end. uncomfortable in the skin you were born in man I wish I knew then what I know now walking the earth lost but never found. No interaction cold is the steers we give one another icey is the hearts we hold deep routed anger set in our soul. No more joy do we hold that is a thing of the old. unlearned lessons to behold taught and told. Hate so deep it destroys us all leading to our down fall while love conquers all putting back the pieces as they fall. we laugh and we learn we live and we burn dead is the world we use to know gone is the people who use to sow into us as we grew up. Dead is the seed once planted expected to grow unable to flow. Gone is the water quenching our thirst. Born is the beast of the earth. Gone is the person who once was bubbly and whole and it shows now in his place is a shell of a man who could barely stand. wishing if only he had a plan sanking faster than quick sand. Please tell me you understand. Steep is the hills we climb deep is the sin in the mind. Keeping us trapped and binds burden by thoughts over time. If only clocks were rewind, people seen the signs never being caught and intertwined. Heavy is the mask we wear instead of heavy is the head who holds the crown. Walking around with a frown aren't you tired of being down? Get up dust your shoulders off planted your feet no longer will you see defeat. Its time you go after all you seek the dream you let die by the burdens you hind never understanding why. Its the world we live in lonely, miserable and ever changing.

An obvious glare to the past Has left me with too many spells to cast Fueled by anger and deceit How could I have let history repeat Fool me once, I thought we knew Fool me twice, we can't pretend we don't have a clue It's ego and it's fear What's not making you see clear? Betrayal is a must When two souls are not meant to last And if I'm the receiver of your hardships Don't tell me I can't have my sips Of bitterness and frustration I've reached my culmination. And when I can no longer look you in the eye You know our love was meant to die.

Someone
I know we will end up getting hurt Every memory cuts right through Passing time as we grow and change The memories never do To hold the fleeting happiness Together once shared Had to capture past with photographs Smiles we no longer wear Instead are small Sorrowful Strained Matching the sadness in pained eyes Say we can retreive love lost Telling ourselves lies Sometimes have this look about you Current of convincing energy Against all sense and reason struggle Trick my heart back into loyalty Head above devoted delusions Waiting for the rest of myself My body's still stuck at rock bottom After years of your loosely veiled hell Love is the true Eldorado Is a cruel mirage Paradise we're not meant to find Love is just pain camoflauged

Pain Camouflaged
I feel like we're drifting apart. I know you feel it too We're stuck, helpless in our love, unsure of what to do Seeking solace in nostalgia, I feel you reaching for my hands, lonely in their despair Oh, how I miss that summer love, painted bright by sunny days Those memories of sandy toes, as our excitement choked on salty sea air Our sun kissed lips stole love in between laughter, made our knees weak in anticipation for more I wish I could live in my denial Blame our reality on winter, blame the shorter days, blame the longer nights Blame anything, anyone Turn our backs to one another as we struggle to find the words that'll fix us As we try to read this stranger we once called love What happened to us vs the world? We were indestructible, impenetrable Blind to the fact that we signed off for our own downfall Perfectly imperfect, our desperateness to make it work The little lies we'd tell ourselves, strangling the life out of hope We nod and agree, let anger dwindle into empty solutions And our hearts quietly weep, screaming for love in all its absence I wanna say it was a foolish whim A scapegoat we needed to evade reality But I refuse to believe that this is all for nothing You bring out the realest parts of me, knock down my walls with the flick of your finger Your love engulfs me whole, caresses my broken parts Gives my soul a place to be, a home I never dreamed I'd call my own ***** living for our summer love I want you, all of you The messy fights and silly spats The goofy snort of laughter saved only for you The late nights of fun, the mornings of regret Our pounding heads, hazed by drink and drugs, yet solid and sure in knowing we're loved My heart is yours beloved, to keep with my blessing All my love too, cos, without you by my side Only god knows what I would do

I told myself i didn't want to write about you anymore But i cant lie, you've shook me to my core You'll look deep in my eyes And then your mouth will spit even more lies I try to run away from you We both know, you'll just leave me broken and blue I try so hard to disconnect It feels like i haven't slept Don't pretend to love me We both know, we could be meant to be.

Destined.
How come I feel like my dream is so far away? How do I know if it is really meant for me? Maybe my dream will come true on some other day. Maybe all I have to do is to try and see. Will I ever reach my dream, I do not know. Will I just sit back and wait, and let my dream go? Must there be a way for me to find out somehow? Must there be a destiny waiting for me now.

Subtle hints Little glints In your eyes Tell me lies But I can see It’s meant to be I want to feel That this is real Can we make it Last for long Will you stop Is it wrong Loving me Or will it be Too much Your touch Is never enough Tough This heart of mine Can take it Please don’t break it

Eyes don’t lie
I don't love you But you still mean something You mean pain You mean lying awake Trying to erase all those moments The longest five hours of my life And you caused them You don't own me But I'm your midnight memory I bet I'm sacred to you A pale body in the moonlight Naked for you I am nothing to you And I don't want you You are my snow spill bloodshed You're the pill under my tongue Dissolving, making me numb I don't love you It will always be that way

Snow Spill Bloodshed
the only problem that I haven't told you it's because you are my dearest friend. you probably already know, from the words I wrote, that it all meant for you. I'm not ready yet to prepare myself to heart the truth. Because I know it would **** me softly.

the reason.
Your heart was pure, but was it real? Was the heart you show, ever meant to love? If you knew it would destroy a person who loves.
