I feel like I disappear no one would notice.

I am nothing without you.

[the-brightest-color-amber]

I idlelly daydream what it be like if you were here

The loneliness bangs my insides again to a slow heaping bleed

My chest a hollow emptiness and somehow holding a brick load of emotion weighing me downstairs to a coffin of my own making

The death of our love

And I don't even realize how ugly loneliness is with it's rearing head until it's the end of the day and their our a thousand things to share but you aren't here to listen

I recite endless speeches to the night sky and plead to the man upstairs to return to me my angel wings that floated me off this ground but I'm rooted with spikes and horns of all my misgivings

I play pretend in the shadows with imaginary hands I find the fountain between my legs and cry holy at the earth quake our memories of making love shenanigans still fresh in my mind I'm yearning deeply for you and I'd lick hells flames to taste heaven again I'd do anything I'm so starstruck on lonely autumn nights or maybe it's just the alcohol talking, with my bittersweet liquor lips.

My advice don't ever let a boy tell you, you cannot live without him 

You,my girl, can move mountains and strike lightening with your bare hands. You, sister are made of magic tricks from fingertips unlike any other

Your blood is full of glitter

and your veins are shooting star dust from the makings of every female ancestors gone before you.

Don't tire out your pretty heart trying to impress the haters when you tuck yourself in at night and chase all the monsters under the bed back to hell where they belong and every shadow should fear you.

you're the heroine that wears the crown and slays all misgivings. Don't repeat the used up lines from the boys who try too hard to gain their fame with slithering slanderous tongue because you were born for goddess status,

Your body gives life, though you still face dishonor. Show this cruel world  your sword and let it bow to the blade, because you can rule any kingdom.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

“When I say, I love you, it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.”

— Joss Whedon

you gotta hold on babe. the stars in the sky are made from the same dust that you kick up when you shuffle down your driveway on windy mornings and they're rooting for you because though you can't see it you shine just as bright as anything else in this universe, including your interstellar brothers. and when you go you'll pass them on your way to eternity and you'll be able to go, well i was human and it was rough sometimes and i cried a lot but i wouldn't miss it for the world. you should really try it sometime. and isnt that the neatest thing in the world, that these two foreign objects can wonder at each other in tandem? just hold on honey cos the stars love you back.
