Til The Sun Comes UP by MinahAmor
60 parts Complete Mature
"Listen, Love, we need to end things." Listening to my boyfriend I feel the bond between us shatter into fragments that tear my heart apart. The familiar heaviness covers my chest, making it hard to breathe I fight the panic and sadness as I try to figure out what in the hell just happened. I wondered how it's possible to be a failure at love and left with a broken heart and lingering memories of betrayal Again.
You Are Mine by AyiraWrites21
18 parts Ongoing Mature
I was enduring a feeling which I determined to never let happen, I was feeling suffocated in the web of something unexplainable, I was getting lost for the beauty of heart not knowing how to take care of it. I was longing for something too fragile, gentle, delicate knowing that it can get broken by being with me. "He was my safe place without me realizing it... he was my savior even before i met him, he was the person i dreamt about without recognizing it, he was the love in a heart where there was no hope of any emotion, he became my only family making me remember the love i lost with my parents." I wanted to keep her in my world, hoping our combined colors would blend into a beautiful sky filled with stars, a moon, and endless happy moments shared between us. She felt like my destination, a place where my mind could finally be at peace, free of thought. In a world where I felt defined by my parents' expectations, she felt like my own reality.

It's 1917 in the tiny town of Cobbingham, England. Rowena Griffinson turns 18 tonight. And all 17 years of her disappointing life have been spent in the Griffinson Manor, up until now. No friends. No outside. No love. At least not from her father, Mr. Merle Griffinson, current owner of the manor, and not to mention emotionless and distant. Rowena and Mr. Griffinson rarely speak, until a fight on the night of her 18th birthday where things take a turn for the worse. After their big blowout, Rowena runs into (literally) a boy her age who also seems to be in trouble... Each with their own issues, they decide to team up. But Rowena has another problem not even she is aware of. But as each night creeps closer, so does her worst nightmare. Or...blessing? What secrets lie beyond the manor for Rowena? And what secrets lie beneath Shimmer Lake? *This is a work of fiction, all people, places and events are purely fictional. That being said, please enjoy SHIMMER LAKE! 😽*

Life is as intense as you want it to be. People in it will bring either tremendous joy or an unbearable pain. She could heal in revenge, hell being her home. But healing through words is the only way of keeping her sanity. Covering the shades of black and white with a thin gray line has never helped anyone before, but painting all those hurtful moments in colors had made the world a better place to live in: resentments under a rug of a smile. Just like a [kodachrome], colorful and vivid in an era filled with sadness. Poetry, short stories, and thoughts. *Mostly fictional with some bases on past, real situations. If there's a situation described here that resembles with someone's else's experiences, it is not intentional at all. PINTEREST BOARD: https://pin.it/4C2Ml4miw
