“I Crave A Love So Deep That The Ocean Would Be Jealous.”

—On Love, Marina Tsvetaeva

[text ID: I just want a humble, murderously simple thing: that a person be glad when I walk into the room.]

“The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself.”

— Sahaj Kohli

you promised me the world

and left it shattered

“If you knew how hard it was, and how long it took, to rebuild my little universe of peace and happiness then you would understand why I’m so picky about who I allow in my life.”

— Weird People

this. this one.

in my heart it is not dark

the rain is pouring and shattering on the floor

like glas

bursting into million pieces

pain freezing like ice

but burning myself

fading away

“When you’re surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you’re by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don’t feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you’re really alone.”

— Fiona Apple

breaking free of everything

the cage

my heart

my thoughts

and suddenly it's all quiet

i think i am so enamored with devotion as violence, because i want someone to love me even when i am covered in blood. most days, i am more teeth than lips. more claws than hands. more desperation than gentleness. if i am to love, i want it to consume me as surely as a forest fire. when the smoke has cleared, trees will grow stronger than before. i will only let my wounds be tended to by someone unafraid of gore, and i fear softness hurts more than any double edged sword. if i am to be loved, let it be in a slaughterhouse we might make into a home. then the heartache will be holy. and i will be whole.

A jaded soul

A childish heart

It feels like I

Am breaking apart
