(a poem about a love that cannot be started)

I threw up words of affirmation

Just to see them in paper layin'

All because of those exchanged glances

And how he would never take chances

To write a perface for this unstarted story in affection

Our town is faded into nothings color

Stealing everything we can be, you plunder

I'm an artist with a brush bathed in revolution

Wishin' to free you from a lawless land within

A Mayor sayin' you & I live in different towns, forever

And that's how it goes...

☆ Written by me ☆

[in-tenebris-et-in-solitudine]

I saw this and thought of you, while you don't care if I exist or not.

"Maybe I was destined to forever fall in love with people I couldn’t have. Maybe there’s a whole assortment of impossible people waiting for me to find them. Waiting to make me feel the same impossibility over and over again." ― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Love you since

The first day of that summer, When our eyes locked, Those sparks that used to take away my breath, That High School year end. The life of a rogue, A rough rogue with a silver crown, Bowed down her head, Gave you her crown, That High school year end. Life took different paths, Everyone of this story had different starts, Still bumped into, This entangled fate of hearts, We met and I confessed, But, maybe, likes of yours had different plans, Still together, With parted hearts, And that was again, A High School year end, A one sided love, And a broken heart.

Unreciprocated LOVE

What’s the purpose of your heart,When it’s incapable of love,Love that’s pure bliss and serene. I’m madly in love with someone indifferent, heartless and mean,Don’t know what to do now, when my heart is falling and the intentions are clean. People say with all pleasure that I cannot change such a man,Maybe I’m a joke and a miserable lover,Who only prays for him, when she joins her hand. Maybe he…

Aku Bisa Apa?

Jika ditanya rasanya sedalam apa?

Aku tidak bisa menakarnya.

Jika ditanya seingin apa?

Seperti ingin menggenggam seluruh dunia.

Perasaan yang sekiranya tak pernah engkau kira atau pula engkau terima, setiap harinya ia tumbuh tanpa sedikitpun rasa iba.

Kesempatan yang tak kunjung datang itu kadang-kadang membuatku putus asa.

Tetapi, melangitkan namamu dalam setiap doa, tak akan hentinya aku coba.

Barangkali, mencintaimu adalah sebuah usaha tanpa timbal balik.

Oleh karena itu, aku dituntut untuk siap menghadapi berbagai hal pelik.

 Seperti melihat tuju mu yang semakin mengarah kepadanya.

 Ah! Apakah tak ada 1 saja doaku yang sampai pada yang kuasa?!

Padahal aku sungguh ingin memberikan duniaku yang utuh untuknya, namun jika ia lebih memilih semesta lain,

Aku bisa apa?

And if thousands of others claim to love you, they will only love you a drop compared to my ocean of love for you. As neverending and deep as the ocean.

unpopular opinion

one-sided love stories are 10x better than any other romance trope

it’s also the most painful slowburn out there because the mc is so desperately chasing the love interest so blind to their constant efforts to get rid of them

they never provide the healing and consolation the mc needs and yearns for, but are always the cause of it

at first the love interest feels pity which then into turns into annoyance and finally indifference

one-sided love stories are strung out with a false hope of a good ending or the preconceived notion that the love interest has always loved the mc being true

they are relatable and most people are prone to these relationships, but when put into words it draws burried sadness inside the reader and the realization that they too were once or are like the mc with their misunderstanding and undying faith 

only through these stories does the main character face the decision to let go and find consolation in themselves or cling to the inevitable path of self-destruction even while knowing that they love interest will never love them

yes, these tropes mostly give the love interest a one-dimensional personality and I am in no way saying that is a good thing, but I am saying that’s the whole purpose of one-sided love:

in some cases if you can’t let go of someone who clearly doesn’t want you, it really shows how much you love yourself to an almost narcissistic, selfish extent

You know how much I miss you, Don't tell them, only you know. That now we are two strangers, It seems weird to me. You are far away, but I have you with me, Maybe you don't understand.. I am spending my life with you and why don't you miss me? Oh how I miss you..

He had placed himself at her feet so long that the poor little woman had been accustomed to trample upon him. She didn't wish to marry him, but she wished to keep him. She wished to give him nothing, but that he should give her all. It is a bargain not unfrequently levied in love

The Nature Guardian

Chapter 2 Wedding Prep

About a month later Stephany got an invitation to Carlous and Avery's wedding. When she got the invitation she felt so happy, as she's glad that her cousin was getting married to a woman he loved. In the invitation it said that she was a bridesmaid, which was great to know.

"Awesome! I'm a bridesmaid for the wedding, oh and it's tomorrow. I better get a dress and a gift for the wedding then." Stephany said.

She stood up from her couch and collected her purse, then left the house. Little did she know that the stranger was listening to everything, he smiled when he heard everything.

"This could be my chance to woo Stephany! All I need is to blend in and sneak into the wedding ceremony. That'll be easy enough as I've been avoiding the cops and any form of detection when I break in to get my revenge." the Stranger whispered inaudibly to himself.

He then heard the front door open, so he jumped into a nearby rose bus that Stephany was growing in her garden. He peeked out and saw Stephany leaving her house and locking the door. He watched as she went to her car, got in, and then drove off. The stranger followed her as he wanted to know where she would be buying the dress so he could try and get a nice suit.

After some time Stephany arrived in a local dress shop that was known for selling wonderful clothes for special occasions. This is where Stephany got something nice wherever a special event was happening. She parked her car in a parking space that was closest to the entrance. Once her car was parked Stephany got out and went inside the shop to get her dress.

Meanwhile the Stranger was hiding in a nearby alleyway and saw where Stephany went. He smiled and began messing around with his hair turning it from green to a more natural brown. He tried his best to make his appearance more normal, but he had to keep some part of his true self out. This time it was his eyes that were unnatural, so he put on a pair of sunglasses he had stolen from one of his past victims. Once he had his disguise on, the stranger left the alleyway and went into the store to find a suit.

Stephany looked around the shop and the dresses they offered hoping to find something for the wedding. She soon came across a lovely white dress decorated in beautiful roses. Stephany decided to wear this to the after party, as the invitation stated that the bridesmaid dresses would be delivered to her and the other two bridesmaids. So Steph only had to get one dress for the after party and a gift. She took the dress off the rack and went to the register to pay for it.

The Stranger meanwhile looked around for a suit trying his best to act normal. As he looked around he overheard a conversation from the other side of the shelves. He looked over the shelf and saw two familiar faces standing on the other side of the shelves.

"Have you managed to find both project plant beta and alpha?" One of the people asked.

"No we haven't gotten any word on alpha let alone Beta. And I'm worried what would happen once Beta finds us as he swore to get revenge on everyone once he gets free." The other said.

"Ah like that maniac could lay a finger on us! He's crazy, so he's not smart. Everyone knows that when you're crazy you're not smart." The other person explained.

When the stranger heard that he felt anger boiling up inside of him as they mocked him. The two were scientists who had experimented on him before he escaped. He left in-order to live and get his revenge, he also heard about Stephany who was like him so he wanted to find her. However he had to remain off the charts in order for them not to catch him and figure out who Stephany is.

So it made his chances of being with her a little harder, but he was determined to have her fall in love with him. All he needed to do was get rid of the ones who made his life hell and anyone else who dared try to take Stephany away from him.

'I don't like the name Beta they call me. I need a new one if I want to introduce myself to Stephany. But what can I call myself?... Ah that's It my new name is Fern, perfect!' Fern thought to himself.

Now with his new name he decided to kill the two after he got the suit he wanted. So he went back to looking around for the suit and soon found a green suit decorated with leaves. When Fern saw it he knew it was perfect for him, so he took it off the racks as well. However instead of going up to the cash register to pay he went into the bathroom and took the security tags off. Once all the security tags were all off he went to a nearby window and snuck out of it, as he felt there was no need to pay. So Fern just stole the suit and looked around for his beloved Stephany and followed her again.

Meanwhile Stephany was in her car again and got a call from someone. She took out her phone and saw that it was Carolus calling her. Stephany smiled and picked up to see what her cousin wanted to say.

"Hey cous what's up?" Steph asked.

"Not much cous I just wanted to know if you were able to get the invitation? I would have called earlier but I got distracted with getting the wedding cake." Carolus explained.

"Hehe yeah sweets always distract you. Anyway I did and I got a lovely white dress decorated in roses for the after party." Stephany explained.

"Awesome! I'm glad you didn't get a pure white dress as you know it's rude to do something like that at a wedding." Carlous explained.

"I know, after all the last time I was at a wedding for our aunt's best friend some crazy lady showed up in a dress similar to the brides. I can't remember much of that day as I walked out of the room when a fight started going down, but I remember that lady being so rude." Stephany explained.

"Yeah, well Avery reassured me that she'll make sure no one will pull something like that. She wants this to go just as we planned and I want that to." Carlous explained.

"Yeah I know, and hey I'm happy to hear you're at the church near the lake where my Dad's got married." Stephany said, as she remembered the story her dads told her about their wedding.

"Well it's a beautiful place and I have so many great memories there. Avery also loves the lake as she used to go swimming with her sisters there. So we both agreed to have the wedding there, and hey Steph maybe you can even find someone you can love as well." Carlous said.

When Stephany heard that she didn't know if she should groan or laugh at the comment. Aside from constantly trying to convince her to move to the city, Carlous also wants Steph to find a lover. This was mainly because he wanted her to get out more as she spent all her time in her house. So he didn't want her to live alone for her whole life and he thought that maybe if she found a partner she'd be happier. However Stephany hadn't had much luck with men and after her last relationship she was afraid to get into a new one.

"Carlous, I don't think I need to remind you about the trauma and distrust I have with men outside of the family right?" Stephany asked.

"*sigh* yeah yeah I know, but Steph not all men are like that. I know there's someone out there who's just right for you and you'll find them I'm sure." Carlous explained reassuringly.

"We'll see about that cous, I'll see you tomorrow at the wedding." Stephany said.

"Me too, I can't wait to get married to the love of my life!" Carlous exclaimed excitedly for his wedding. Stephany smiled and the two ended the call, she then drove out of the parking lot and back home as she was going to make a gift for the wedding.

Fern saw Stephany's car and was about to follow it but stopped when he saw the two scientists leaving the shop. He decided to watch Stephany later after he took care of some unfinished business and get his much desired revenge.

The following day Stephany was in the washroom getting a shower while playing the news from the TV that was in the bathroom. The news was playing and it was covering the latest news on the Rosebud killer.

"Two more murders of the Rosebud Killer had been found last night. Two scientist working for the Research Program Of Nature Benefits or the RPONB where found dead in an alleyway last night. The bodies where found by a worker at a nearby bar who was taking out the garbage. The bodies seemed to have been brutally beaten with some of the bottles that were stolen from the same bar that night. The autopsy also showed that the men were also forced fed poisonous plants before the beating. The police believe that the meeting was to make the two victims suffer as they had died from the poison." The news woman explained.

"God damn, how brutal do you have to be to make someone suffer like that?" Stephany asked as she washed herself in the bathtub.

"Man I hope this won't do anything to the wedding as I really want things to go smoothly for Carlous and Avery." Stephany prayed as she started to fish off the bubbly soap off her body.

After rinsing, Stephany drained the tub, climbed out, and grabbed a towel she had hung on a nearby rack. "Ah, that was refreshing." Stephany said to herself as she dried off.

Now that she was dry Stephany got the bridesmaid dress that she picked up from the post office the other day. The dress was a light green with a lily flower on the right shoulder strap. Stephany thought that it was a lovely dress and was happy to be a bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding. She first slipped her undergarments on then the dress came on after.

Once fully dressed Stephany left the bathroom, collected her purse, then left the house for the wedding. Getting into her car Stephany smiled as she drove off to celebrate such a wonderful occasion.

Meanwhile at the church, Carlous and Avery were both getting dressed and ready for their wedding. The two were both excited and nervous about it as they wanted everything to go well.

"Oh god! What if she leaves! What if I say something wrong! What if-" Carlous was ranting with worry, but was stopped by his best man.

His best friend Mark put a reassuring hand on his shoulder and this stopped him from talking. Carlous looked over to Mark and saw that he had a reassuring look on his face.

"Bro relax, everything's gonna be alright. We've worked hard on this. So stop worrying if something will go wrong, and think about everything that'll happen from this day forward." Mark explained reassuringly.

Carlous smiled and felt much better and more relaxed about this and started thinking about his plans for the future with Avery. Meanwhile Avery was also a mess of worry about the wedding and the future events.

"I want everything to go well! I don't want anyone to try and ruin this day for me or Carlous! No insane guests! No crazy Exes! No-" Avery was venting when she felt someone else's presence in her dressing room. She looked back and saw Stephany had just come in from the doorway and was a few feet behind her.

"Hey Avery, you alright?" Stephany asked as she heard a bit of Avery's vent.

"Yeah it's just the nerves, all I want is for things to go well and for no one to ruin this for me and Carlous." Avery explained.

"Hey don't worry, I'm sure this will go well! After all I'm sure that none of your or Carlous's Ex's will try and ruin this." Stephany explained reassuringly.

"Hehe, yeah you're right. My Ex's were kinda crazy but not that crazy, and I only had two in my life." Avery explained.

"Same with Carlous, but he had just one ex and she isn't that insane." Stephany explained.

Avery smiled at this and felt a lot better about the wedding then she did before. The dressing room door then opened again and the two women looked to see who was coming in now. Avery saw her best friend Posey coming into the room in her bridesmaid dress.

"Hey Posey! How are you doing?" Avery asked happily.

"I'm well and I'm doing even better as my best friend is getting married!" Posey exclaimed happily for her friend.

"Aww, thanks Posey, that means so much to me!" Avery exclaimed.

Then a man came into the room right behind Posey, and when Stephany saw him she froze up as she recognized him.

"Um hello, you must be Avery, I'm Davis Posey's boyfriend." Davis explained introducing himself.

"Oh hi Davis, Nice to meet you." Avery said but then remembered Stephany was still in the room.

"Oh Right I almost forgot, Stephany this Is Posey, she's my best friend from highschool. Posey this is Avery, she's Carlous's cousin so she'll soon be my cousin-in-law." Avery explained introducing her friend and her soon in law.

"Oh Hi Stephany! OMG You are so cute! I love your blond hair, it's so beautiful! I wish I had volume like that! Oh! And this is-" Posey was saying but Davis started speaking.

"We already know each other." Davis said.

"You do? How?" Posey asked, confused.

"We went to high school together, but we lost touch after graduating. But I see you haven't changed much Steph have you?" Davis asked.

"Y-Yeah I haven't." Stephany said timidly and scared.

"Aww, well, we should get going, the ceremony will start soon and I want to meet up with everyone else and introduce you to them! I'll see you later at the altar Avery! Toodeloo!" Posey cheerfully exclaimed and took Davis's hand and left the room.

When Davis left Stephany relaxed but still felt fearful about him being here. She wished she'd never had to see him ever again after the last time they saw each other.

"Hey Steph, you alright?" Avery asked as she noticed how tense Stephany was.

"Um... K-kinda, well not really. It's Davis, he and I do know each other, as... he's my Ex." Stephany explained.

"He is? Why did you two break up? He seemed friendly enough." Avery said, surprised by the news.

"I thought so too when we first started dating, but he soon became... emotionally and physically abusive towards me. He even mocked me for having "unnatural parents" as I have gay dads instead of a mom and dad. It soon escalated that he'd t-tried to ...." Stephany hesitated to speak when she started digging up the memories.

She then felt Avery's gentle hand on her shoulder and she looked to see Avery giving her a reassuring look. Stephany took a deep breath and decided to continue on as she felt like sharing it with her soon to be In-law.

"He tried to rape me one day as to get me pregnant, but my dad's walked in just as he was about to do it. They beat the living shit out of him and made sure he couldn't go near me again. I heard that his parents had sent him to a mental institution and then to his uncle's place to have him straightened out. I didn't get a restraining order as it ended as an attempt and I haven't seen him since. So I thought it was all over, but I didn't expect to see him here dating your best friend." Stephany explained reliving the whole experience with her Ex.

"Oh Stephany you poor thing." Avery said as she felt bad for her friend and soon cousin.

"Tell me if you'll hate it, cause I'm going to hug you." Avery said then hugged Stephany who didn't push her away. Stephany hugged her right back as she needed it after reawakening old memories.

"Thanks Avery, I'm glad Carlous met someone like you." Stephany said as she let go of Avery.

"Thanks, and if you want, I can do my best to make sure he stays away from you. And I'll also keep an eye on him in case he starts getting like that with Posey, after all I don't want her innocence to be corrupted by a guy like that." Avery explained.

"That'll be great, thanks Avery, but I do hope that he won't hurt Posey, and that he has indeed changed. It has been years so maybe he's reflected on his actions, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself." Stephany explained not wanting to be too hopeful in case her Ex hasn't changed at all.

"Alright then, I'll finish getting ready, and you go on and meet up with Carlous. I think he's at the altar right now, I'll see you when I come out with my and Carlous's dad walking me down the altar." Avery explained. Stephany smiled and nodded, she then gave Avery one last hug before leaving the room.

Meanwhile outside Fern heard the whole thing including Stephany talking about her ex Davis. Fern would've just been mad that Daniel had dated the love of his life, but even more so that he tried to rape her was well.

He had never felt the desire to kill growing in him like wild vines then ever before. He just wanted to see Davis and rip his guts out and use them for fertilizer for the plants in his home.

However Fern shook the feeling away, he wouldn't let his emotions and desire to kill blow his cover now. He'll just watch Davis while he's in the same room with Stephany and only kill if he tries anything on her when they're alone. He won't let anyone take Stephany from him as she's just like him and he's been so lonely over the years.

"I can't lose her now, I've worked so hard to get to her and If that bastard tries anything hehe, He'll be my plants next meal." Fern whispered as quietly as he could to himself.

He then snuck away to change into the suit he stole the other day and sneak into the party in order to get closer to Stephany and finally have her dancing in his arms.
