brave   ﹠   blooming.        

a quotebot by @kaijucatrph ╱ #elliebean. all from my own personal writings, so pls don't repost ! ok to rt & qrt. ♡︎

i knew the ending. i saw it coming. i shut my eyes but it did no good.

you haunted me so thoroughly ╱ it’s like you never left.

this victory is mine alone ╱ all that i am is in spite of you.

i needed you to miss me. i needed to be right.

i never wanted to leave, but there was no way i could stay. you have to believe me. i couldn’t stay.

i am a fire i set by myself.

i look at them, ﹠ suddenly, i understand why i am still here.

she was always painted this way : eager ﹠ aching.

she was more knife than girl, more weapon than woman.

i don’t think i was made for a finite existence. i don’t understand why the song has to end.

just like my father, bruised knuckles ﹠ teeth. just like my mother, don’t know how to leave.

searching for an ending that doesn’t exist ╱ the pages were torn out before you were born.

heartbroken ╱ hellbent.

something delicate, something divine.

all of the anger that lived inside me —— at least it was mine.

wearing myself like a second skin. i can't remember the last time i felt like me.

stained your fingers searching for power ╱ doomed yourself in your desperation.

i hate this power you have over me. i would call down the stars for you if i could. even if it brought me to ashes in the process.

she wished it wasn’t so hard to feel deserving of beautiful things.

being in love shouldn’t feel this way, like you’re being torn in two.
