crimsonella:
Dear Sirius,
It feels like the quietest morning of the year. The silence inside me is greater than the silence outside me. I close my eyes and let the wind enter my ears. It is mute and has no messages for me but I know it’s trying.
I couldn’t sleep well last night. I woke up…
crimsonella:
Dear Sirius,
You are not here, I remind myself everyday. You are not here and you are not around. “I’m always around,” you said. “Don’t think that you are lonely.” I’m certainly not thinking anything. All that exists is all I feel. I feel deserted.
I have killed myself in my mind countless times.

ik-arzu:
You look at her and see the lines You trace your fingers along the crevices, And eye her speckled skin. But why do you tell her to look away And watch the moon up above you both? And when she says it is cratered so, Why do you tell her to ignore those scars? Tell her instead That it is those flaws that make her shine Ever brighter than that broken pearl.
People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each others...
