I Never Said Goodbye
No point living a dead man’s dreams when still warm hearts strike other beats. Why sing these songs of feelings past when other thoughts were lost at last? Still walk these streets of cold and stars no reason to if once there was. A speech, a hymn, your eulogy, your dead man’s dreams, this last from me.

He loves me, he loves me not...
I detest and adore this awkward stage of being on the verge of being in love.

Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J
Bleh, I say, bleh.
The Little Half-Girl
The trail of glitter which she had spewed laced with sea green sequins and hearts of blue all led back to that place under the sky where sweet heart realised fairytales lie. It was no potion which tore her apart like swords and daggers straight through her heart, but the love of her dear charming prince for which her new feet bled and she did wince dancing upon those freshly sharpened blades she...

Those Three Words
You screwed my heart out through my mouth and the words cascaded down as singed moths from a flame to the burning wax of our unleashed desires consumed by primitive thoughts of hers and mine and ours and forever like stones in a stream too weak for those games of pound and thrust but strong enough to hold it back almost I love you.
secretswithheld asked: Just wanted to come say hi.
Hope you're well. I'm going through my followers,
we haven't talked, maybe we should!
I'm Nicky, hello hello.
Hope you're well. I'm going through my followers,
we haven't talked, maybe we should!

Fuck you
Is that the sound of promises shattering? Or the thirty silver pieces jangling in your pocket to match that silver spoon?
Words from one Disappointment to Another
I would be disappointed in you too, but I long gave up expecting more.
“I hope she knows you only like the beginnings of things.”
– Faye Miller, Mad Men
Young Love Fades So Fast
His arms and mine together entwined holding onto each other’s gaze as our hearts race towards freedom and the caressing embrace of our still innocent words.
(writing exercise)
I may work on this as it was a very quickly written piece for a writing exercise so is nowhere near finished, but I think it may have potential.
It was a blue day: blue sky, blue walls, blue thoughts and the spoons were rattling in the wind like the chains of ghosts coming back to haunt me. Her coat was still on the door where she always left it. Today she didn’t need the heat it provided...
A Youth Wasted
We are the youth of today. We tried to tell you it quietly but you wouldn’t listen so we shouted. You can no longer ignore us our hearts and lungs are full and our minds overflowing, growing into the spaces no longer there for us. Your play pens won’t pacify us; we’ve outgrown your illusion. We are the guiding lights lost in the smoke from our burning hopes and dreams, choking...

I can’t decide whether this feeling is love or just hunger.

Every rose has its thorns
She never was extraordinary. She could have been; she could have been something magnificent, but she was stifled by all the adoration. They hailed her as a god before her wings had a chance to stretch, her aspirations grounded, forced to grow along the trellis with the others. And she just went with it, painted her white cheeks red and put on a jolly face, the brightest rose in the garden. We all...

When was it you stopped dancing?
Returning to these old haunts buzzing with those memories, the words you left inside my head.
It’s been too long since I felt like this so vibrant, so ecstatic, so alive, so dead.
Dancing around the shadows of you like a frightened child running further into the darkness,
chasing the dreams of that crumbled heart which played so gleefully across the page… all I have left.
This...
