I was the moth.
Not blind,
but aching.
I was not deceived by the flame,
I longed for its ruin.
To be undone in that heat,
to burn knowing,
was a worship beyond reason.
A thousand lifetimes in darkness
could never equal
one death
in such light.

2 April, 1937 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov
The woven silk of
Silence, petals fluttering
A delicate day
And the world is wavering
Between soft kiss and collapse
Beautiful creature 👽
You definitely are 🖤🖤🖤
I miss you every day. But today, it feels like everything I do is just here to remind me I am living without you.
its so hard to believe someone could love me. im always always too much or too little. never enough.
I do not believe there is a more dangerous and destructive force in all the world than hope, but I do not believe there is a more necessary or perfectly beautiful one either.
Tyler Knott Gregson
She rests in the arms
of a man who cannot feel her storm,
while I drown
in the flood she left behind.
I feel like a spider,
strung with longing,
spin webs from torn ribs
to catch the ghost of her smile.
Her laugh...
a blade I swallow each morning,
thanking it
for the pain.
I would tear the stars
from the throat of the heavens
just to watch her eyes
glimmer one more time.
My love is not gentle,
it is blood and bone and burning rope.
It is sleepless nights
stitched with screams
no one hears.
This is love,
where I am the pyre
and she,
the flame
that never stays
but never dies.
-Cyrus K.
My mind holds the weight of
Long sleepless nights.
Each night I
Wait there to be taken,
By the space between the blinks,
Into colours i can only
Hope to think
I could imagine,
Where life is more, and
Where sleep is less
Than a reprieve.
