Not On The Sleeves

Where do you leave your heartif not on your sleeve?Do you leave it by the waves,on the rocks, and just leave? Or should i try old bookshopswith dusty pages in every corner?Could it find a home thereWould it stay there forever? How about old churcheswhere my faith has long been gone?Should my sins be forgivenifContinue reading “Not On The Sleeves”

He Likes Flowers

Personally, I don’t understand the point of flowers after it has been plucked. I know they’re pretty, i just don’t see why we have to kill them for temporary appreciation. But he said he likes flowers. I don’t know the big deal about it, but the happiness he had after i gave them a bouquet—hisContinue reading “He Likes Flowers”

Bus Rides and Sunsets

Sometimes it feels better not to talk. At all. About anything. To anyone. And whenever that happens, it’s the most peaceful I’ve ever felt.

You know that clown trope where an unreasonable number of clowns enter a small four-seater and everyone thinks it’sContinue reading “Bus Rides and Sunsets”

The First Curse

Nevertheless, that didn’t mean nobody else was there . . .or that nobody would be there. Bringing up the hand that was not holding a sword, Sammael conjured a littleContinue reading “The First Curse”

I’m So Sick of Rape Culture

I’m so fucking sick of rape culture and what frustrates me is that most people don’t get it.

If it was about the length of the clothes, rape crimes would skyrocket duringContinue reading “I’m So Sick of Rape Culture”
