“unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket, unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder, don’t do it.
unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, don’t do it. when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it until you die or it dies in you. there is no other way. and there never was.”

The Falling Star...
strawberrybitchblade:
The Falling Star by Sara Teasdale I saw a star slide down the sky,
Blinding the north as it went by,
Too burning and too quick to hold,
Too lovely to be bought or sold,
Good only to make wishes on
And then forever to be gone.

I couldn't hate you if I tried.
mountainhands:
Kiss my bruises,
my broken bones.
Mend my shredded
heart
with words of old.
Make it so you never left
and my heart never broke.
Make me forget the times
I hated you. Remember
you’re the one who made
me sing, taught me the
beauty in falling apart.
Remind me of who
I was back then
when I was
yours.
