“A lover’s fancy is as creative as a poet’s, and when once it takes hold of any idea, it clings to it tenaciously.”
— Lodore, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“I have but one passion ; it swallows up every other ; it dwells with my darling books, and is fed by the treasures of beauty and wisdom which they contain.”
— Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Lodore
KNITTED2
Boy you are caught in the threads of your own
Thoughts.
You can’t break through, no.
You trip and stumble over these knitted paths,
They lead you somewhere dark- somewhere distant.
You’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with only the
String as rope to get you out.
You try to reach, but do you really?
Excuses excuses are all that’s ever heard.
Your ball of yarn is lost and you can’t even get out
Of bed.
i love you because i don’t know how to love myself
because it’s so much easier than loving myself
So they are hazel.
The gleam in your eyes, the way the sun hits them, and
Makes you shine.
Your smile-
It beams with life.
I’d love to see you dance, to see your body fly.
You say you can’t sing, and that you’d wish you took
Singing lessons as a kid,
But darling your voice is a river, and it flows and flows
And flows,
Sure, you’re not peaceful, my chaotic little sunshine,
I love the way you toss and turn throughout the
Night. You’re blindingly breathtaking. Every word that
Leaves your mouth is passionately formed from your soul
And mind.
You’re a mess.
Not to be cliche- but a beautiful mess. You astonish me
With every move you make.
Your laughter is honey to my ears.
You make me listen, and see peacefully for once.
Dear hazel eyes, please don’t leave my side.
You already know it hurts.
Which is why you’re material for my words
The word that was once life are now words
On a screen, that you’ll never even see.
everyone: what's your goal in life?
me: to write a story so soul snatching, so gut wrenching and so devastatingly beautiful that it leaves you crying at 3am when you have a 8am lecture/shift and it inspires people to write entire essays, to write entire fanfics, mood boards and playlists based on it.
It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives
Thinking about... Grieving the undead.
let’s just stop time so i can read all my books without real life interfering
WORDS FROM THE HALLWAY
She had spun herself a web- not one of lies nor of truth-
Just a sticky situation to let others come into
It’s quite strange, to be a bird like her
For words and songs aren’t always heard
She declares her faith to one admirer
But the nest and the next she has no desire.
Birds can’t speak but she’s a flyer.
Watch her dive, watch her drive,
Watch her spin her web of crimes.
Watch those tears fall down others' faces,
Will she stop and slow her pace?
Twig legs no longer there,
She’s disgusted and caught in her hair.
Dare she move once more? Fuck those birds and slam the door.
