if there is a god

i have lost all faith

he has laid temptation before me

and ripped it from my hands

he gave you those eyes

to capture my soul

let you walk away

my everything still in your arms

he left me a shell

a human mould

expects me to wait

for the next one to fill me

if there is a god

they say he only gives what you can handle

then why have i been tired

for all nineteen years

i do not have any strength

my arms are bone

covered in a thin epidermal layer

all i can do is lay on the ground

willing it to let me drown

allow my flesh to become one

with the earth i was spawned from

You are too well tangled within me. Every cell in my heart holds some of you darling. The only way to unlove you would would be to rip it straight from my chest. Even then, it may still beat on.

Eternity is not long enough

You could be the most perfect woman in the world, and he the perfect man. That does not mean you are the perfect people for each other.

Venus de Roux

You cannot build a life around another person. People come when they are ready, and they leave when it is their time. Nothing in life is permanent except yourself.

Venus de Roux

Grief,

is a bird that swoops in during the witching hour,

perches on your window sill,

and sings a shallow song that will never be enough.

is a river that stops flowing,

reaches a standstill,

all the life that was once there dies.

is a cloudless sky,

so blue it hurts to look at,

so the curtains close and covers come up.

is a crumbled heart,

like shortbread when you bite into it and everything breaks apart,

but not nearly as sweet.

is the changing of season,

earth tilts on its axis,

nothing will ever be the same.

It left a hole in my heart for better things to come.

You weren’t worthy of me (pt. 2)
