#llwritings

Don’t blame me for not being able to write. Writing comes in stages. My first stage was heartbreak. Everything I wrote was painfully relateable to all the heartbroken souls in the world. Tears flowed from my eyes to my fingertips, as I wrote about you. How you hurt me. What you did to me. How I’d never be the same. How you’d completely and utterly destroyed my soul. I wrote about how you shattered my heart, and how not even the strongest glue could ever mend those broken fragments. My second stage was inspiration. I began to move on. I forgave myself. I forgave you. I got motivated to do better, to pull myself out of the hole of depression you’d dug and thrown me in. I wrote about conquering my fears, and defeating my demons. I wrote about how self-love could mend those broken pieces you left throughout me. My third stage was love. I wrote about the boy who showed me I was capable of falling in love again. I wrote about how his hands fit perfectly in mine, better than yours ever did. I wrote about his gentle forehead kisses, and how my stomach churned when I looked at him. I wrote about how his lips tasted like honey against mine. I wrote about how special he made me feel. He gave me a purpose. He made me feel loved and appreciated. Then the cycle started over. It always does. Except this time, I won’t let it. I won’t let myself fall head-over-heels in love with someone who will take me forgranted. So don’t blame me for not being able to write. For I have nothing to write about. Maybe one day, but not today. (L.L.)

love is fragile. it is like glass. treat it right, and it will return the favor. it will be beautiful, always there when you need it. but, sometimes that glass can shatter. love can break. it can break our hearts, it can break our entire being. love is passionate. it is a spark of fire, igniting into a large crimson flame. it consumes your body. love is tender. it is sweet moments, ones that you never want to let go. it's those moments when you just want to soak in your lover's presence, slowly falling asleep on their chest as they kiss your forehead. love is loyal. when you truly love someone, you never want them to leave. there is no pride in love. it does not corrupt you in bad ways, but good. love, is many things. when you say the word love, you aren't just saying one word, but many emotions. love cannot be described in one word. we use the word love so carelessly, that it means nothing. but, when the right person uses it, it means everything. we try to compact love into one word, but we can't. it breaks its bars, slowly ripping from its confinement. love is not perceptible in a tangible way, but by the soul. love is everything, yet nothing at all. - what love is (L.L.)

There was something about him. Something about the way he watched me. It was as if I was the only girl in the world. - that’s when I knew, he was the one (L.L.)

The sun shines bright, illuminating everything in its golden glow. The moon is dull, covering everything in its path with a silver coating. The sun, as it emerges, lights up the sky with swirling oranges and pinks. The moon, as it emerges, is a mere light surrounded by the darkness that swallows it. With the sun, a sing-song tune of birds can be heard. Life begins, filled with joy and happiness as all the creatures awake in harmony. With the moon, an eerie silence falls over the earth. All that can be heard is the chirping of insects that thrive in the darkness. They’re in a constant battle. The sun fights to bring light, while the moon lives in the dark. At the end of every day, the moon wins. The darkness engulfs the sun, causing it to shine its last golden rays upon the earth before it dies out. I am the sun. You are the moon. No matter how hard I try to bring light to you, you will never accept it, for you think your darkness is far more beautiful. - the sun and the moon (L.L.)

Some people want happiness. Some people want love. Some people want wealth. Some people want beauty. Some people want to feel like they matter. Some people want everything. I just want you. - L.L.
