thedustwhispered - - "dear you, you couldn’t help. that is to say, i am beyond help. it’s spring and i can’t sleep. i lie awake upside down and let my sweat cool in the early hours. i replay our stilted, fumbling dialogue, wringing my hands until the skin peels away. they hurt now, and i hide them behind my back until you learn not to reach for me anymore. my silence didn’t break me, nor you, but it broke something. i can’t look into mirrors anymore. i’ve taken to crying into my coffee. i’m forgetting the difference between faces. (you asked me “are you happy?” and i said “oh honey, i’m a liar.”) and everyone knows liars are always happy. i’m running out of time– next year i’ll try to stand up straighter, see if i can dance with you for once without stumbling. i’ll learn new words and speak in a posh accent to make up for my poor vocabulary. and you can be my therapist and i’ll tell you about my dreams and we can make them come true. here’s to nothing and […] "View

merelyse - - "20 Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow’d night, 21 Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, 22 Take him and cut him out in little stars, 23 And he will make the face of heaven so fine 24 That all the world will be in love with night 25 And pay no worship to the garish sun. 26 O, I have bought the mansion of a love, 27 But not possess’d it, and, though I am sold, 28 Not yet enjoy’d: so tedious is this day 29 As is the night before some festival 30 To an impatient child that hath new robes 31 And may not wear them.

And when I came to you, you took me by your side. Fit my hand into yours. Showed me your realm of the world. And I was amazed by it, by you. Perhaps that is why I’m not as infatuated with him as I was with you. You revealed to me something brand new. A breed that I was unfamiliar with. Able to let loose without repercussion.
