Tell me it all works out, tell me the impossible happens just this once, that what could be is—

that the dream has shape, bones and a heart,

that it is not phantom or fiction, but bird—

a song, a song in the darkness.

[sarastars]

I like to think that when Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch

Eddie removes his shoes. Carefully, so carefully as to not stir him awake

He sets them down by the door, tucking in the laces and brushing off their dust

I like to think that when Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch

Eddie leaves a covered glass of water on the table for him, he drapes a blanket over Buck, and pushes the hair away from his eyes

I like to think that when Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch

Eddie likes to pretend he’s his

I guess we are father's sons

After all,

But what do you think,

Who pulled the worse end

Between us two?

Is it my overflowing dark,

That continues to spill

Loneliness

And withdrawal of connections;

Or your twisted thoughts,

That bring out

Spitefulness

And addiction to silence?

You know what?

I think we're both fucked.

People let me down

I let them go.

I hate you, with every bruised bone in my body you punctured.

To the mountains or the sea?In a book or on your feet?

Sweet soul, yet wary Ephemeral scent of rosemary I found her; alone Little doe on a meadow A star shining on her own

Fugitive satellite, elusive sights Resemblance of a sun-touched paradise Though the crow flies over the fallow

Narrowing carmesim skies of ripe cherry Poignant first taste of a blackberry On our sleepless nights

The oddest vertigo in ethereal indigo Underneath a frail cover of lullabies Weald that the dim has blown Forgotten dreams on a tender prairie Dear, what did you bury…

[bite-m3]

I desire love that engulfs me whole. I don’t want it to graze my skin, I want it to seep into every crevice. I want it to burn. I want to feel it.

Trust

Once a kid told me

That every person is an island in the sky.

And when you trust someone,

A bridge grows between you

And when they break that trust,

It’s gone forever.

You can build it again,

But it’s weaker than before.

And after you rebuild too many times-

There’s nothing left to build with.

My bridge is gone

And I don’t know how to bring it back

And talk to her again.

I can’t force myself to rebuild

Feeling like she’ll hurt me again.

tonight’s note. by me. me me me.

[inabigworld]

i hope that one day

you will find a love

that you don’t ever

have to question

"My clouded mind fizzled you out, and I drew out my matches with desperation, one after the other, to light it back up and ignite the whole world once again."

CLASS WINDOW༄

By yuriko

I looked through

the class window

Out there, is where

Is where shadows lurk.

In the dark,

All around places

Like the park.

Outside that window

Is where danger is.

That’s why we must

Mind our business.

Go on our ways

Before the shadow

Behind you

Stays.

[poppiesandpromises]

The singing is softer now

I think the sirens are sobbing

The sailors have all grown

Deaf or immune

Such a lonely thing

To be forgotten
