:to love you//

I tasted it on my tongue-- the taste of love. It slithered down my throat like a silver coil of something sweet and savory. It settled in my stomach like a good news, elevating me to the highest level of ecstasy. Through my skin, it seeped into the air around me, painting it gold. I …

me. i was six when i lost my first tooth. i remember it very vividly because we don’t tend to forget promises. we remember them with tick of the clocks; every second. and so i remembered what the tooth fairy promised me; candies. and maybe a new toothbrush for big girls. i was bored of …

:him and her//

:HER: so i saw you you this morning, again, in a blue jersey, your hands stuffed into the deepest corners of your jean’s pockets. your hair were slightly messy with this one strand falling into your eyes. it was almost customary, no matter what place or what time, it had to stay that way. you …

We've all heard about fifty shades of grey or a burst of flame that encompasses thousand different hues of oranges and yellows. We've come across a red carpet of tulips and roses.

:the voices//

The voices in my head, it’s the voices in my head. They won’t let me have peace. They won’t let me sleep. They tell me stories and sing me melancholic songs. They take me on walks along barren roadsides and through dark forest pathways. They carry me, like a feather with the wind, into grey …

Dearest, Words have failed me before, words fail me now as words have failed me countless times before. I hold a small world on my palm and you're somewhere in there, making it spin, keeping it alive. I'll not give you the largest part of my world but the smallest, most significant slice of it. …

"It's my birthday today. Another year gone by and I'm still sitting in a cold room, my back pressed against the cold window pane, scribbling on a blank, cold sheet of paper. Cold December wind is hurtling itself against the panes as they rattle. My coffee's gone cold and the marshmallows I toasted are cold …
