#honey words

[wordsofichor]

there are moments in my life where i truly feel like im living in the shadows of what im meant to be. times when people tell me im nothing but wasted potential, dumber and chubbier and lazier and overly dramatic and more tiring than they expected, mourning who i could've been and ignoring who i am now.

i fall into pits of restlessness after hearing these, trying my best to refine myself into someone who fit into the abstract gap of their expectation-built puzzle.

i was a girl shaped to be a winner and yet i melted into a waste.

Sleeping with your fave for the first time and he’s trying soo hard to be so sexy but it’s is just not working. He pulls away awkwardly and asks if he should turn the light off… asks if socks should come off too and accidentally bumps heads with you when trying to capture your lips in a kiss. Soft giggles falling from your lips when your arms get tangled in your shirt when he tries pulling it off quickly… but then when you’re finally laid bare for him his fingers are tracing so delicately across your skin… murmuring how beautiful you are for him… forehead pressed against yours when he pushes in… eye brows drawing tight when you stretch open around him….

FATHERS ARE A KIND OF MONSTER

[wordsofichor]

the curse of remembering will haunt me forever.

moments i cherish so deeply tarnished by the inevitable of them leaving soon, either me forgetting them or the people i made them with forgetting me and forever turning them tangy.

it hurts to think that ill never be able to bite into a crunchy red apple without hearing my brother mocking me for eating it warm. ill never be able to drink mint lemonade without being reminded of when i dropped it all over myself and my sister had laughed, a laugh kinder than the one i was used to and cleaned me up as i cried. ill never be able to watch movies from my childhood due to the crude jokes my friends and i had made about it. ill never look at the worn, navy blue cap thrown astray on my floor without recalling screaming about it with my best friend.

everything will forever hold a crushing significance to me, the blessing of a memory whittled down to a curse. it seems so insignificant now, all these events sparking a bittersweet joy in my chest, embers floating around and burning me up from the inside, dark, charred organs forever marred with the feeling of living through those sweet and sour memories.

When his favorite position is when you’re on top </3. Not because you’re in control, but because he loves how much breathier your moans get as your legs start to tire out. Presses your face into the crook of his neck… holds you there by the nape of your neck… bends his knees to spread you further… snaps his hips into you as deep as he can so you’re whining and clawing at him as you finish JDJDJSJSJSJSJEIE
