Lachesism:// n. "the desire to be struck by disaster-to survive a plane crash, to lose everything in a fire, to plunge over a waterfall-which would put a kink in the smooth arc of your life, and forge it into something hardened and flexible and sharp, not just a stiff prefabricated beam that barely covers the gap between one end of your life and the other."

And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying. (Constant uploads, and even more editing to older uploads)Complete
Safe With Me
It was like a fairytale being with him. It was like the world could come crashing down but not even that could tear us apart. *** "I didn't ask for you to come into my life or to expect me to love you more than I could possibly love him. I hate you, I hate everything about you. I hate how you barged into my life thinking you could solve everything. I hate how you expect me to act like nothing happened. I hate how you remind me so much of him. Nobody asked you to do this.." I hadn't realized how close I had gotten to him until his hands cupped my face. "He asked me, okay? He begged me to look after you. You need to face reality. He's dead Emma." *** We were perfect together. Nothing could tear us apart. Nothing....except death. © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved.Complete
