devoted, yearning & obsessive

❝ you occupy my thoughts. day and night, even in dreams you're there. i want you to never stop haunting me. ❞

❝ i am eternally yours. until the stars go out. and maybe, even after that. ❞

❝ my heart bleeds the color of your soul. i would cut it out and put it in your palms if i could. ❞

❝ it's like you have knit yourself around my ribs. i could no more cut you out than i could remove my own lungs. ❞

❝ you are woven into my soul and i dare not cut a single thread. ❞

❝ i am yours, body and soul, to do with as you wish. ❞

❝ i don't require you to love me back, or to care for me as i do you. only let me be here, let me devote myself to you. that would be enough. ❞

❝ i want to trap your smile in a bottle and take it out when no one else can see. ❞

❝ you belong to me and i to you. ❞

❝ do not look away from me. i cannot bear it when i do not occupy your vision. ❞

❝ i will follow you. to the ends of the earth, to the very gates of hades and whatever might lay beyond. ❞

❝ i will always be here. no matter how far you go you can always come home to me. ❞

❝ tell me all the places you have been hurt, every rejection, every scar. let me love you in all the places where you have burned. ❞

❝ i will not ever let you go. ❞

❝ you cannot escape this. you cannot run away from the love we share. ❞

❝ what we have is deeper than words could capture. ❞

❝ i will be anything you desire. i pluck out the parts of me you find distasteful and stuff your love in the craters left behind. ❞

❝ tell me what you wish of me and i will do it. ❞

❝ i could spend all day merely watching the air in your lung. i would count every blink. i would cherish every sigh from your lips. i could watch you merely exist for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ don't let go of me. i think if you lost me i would die. ❞

❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞

❝ i wish i could crawl inside you and make a home out of the hollows of your bones. ❞

AZALEA for Tao. Treating her to some of the most awful greasy food truck fare possible. 💕

𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑-𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 // ACCEPTING

the  night  street  was  bustling  with  life,  neon  lights  adorning  boring  gray  concrete,  people  coming  and  going  and  doing  their  thing  with  not  a  single  care.  for  their  part,  TAO  was  mostly  silent  throughout  the  walk,  a  cigarette  always  on  her  lips,  an  abstract  dance  of  smoke  surrounding  her  head.

she'd  'mhm'  from  time  to  time  as  a  way  to  let  the  other  know  she's  kinda  listening,  but  not  much  reaction  otherwise.  the  smell  of  grease  filled  her  lungs  the  second  they  got  closer  to  the  premises  of  food  trucks  and  her  stomach  awakened  from  its  slumber  to  softly  growl.  ‘ah…  I  forgot  to  eat  today…’  she  thought  while  she  turned  to  look  at  her  companion.  "  hope  you  know  this  is  all  goin´  to  your  tab...  "
