A heavy sigh fell from her lips unbidden, the bouquet of apple blossoms mocking her from their pride of place upon her desk. How cruel the other ladies could be, all under the guise of wishing her well. She had yet again feigned ill to avoid the other ladies of her station; their judgmental glances and cherub-faced children, twisting the jagged blade already embedded in her heart.

Esmeralda
A girl making her way through a normal everyday life meets the plot twist she's been asking for. "Come on! Is this what you've got!" she exclaimed, pathetically shouting on the rooftop of her school, if only she could say that to everyone who made her life more miserable than it was before. Looking up to the bright sky, the exact opposite of her mood. She hears the birds flying in the distance, chirping as if they were mocking her. "I know there's more! Bring it on!" she said as she was going on her knees, feeling weak, her vision blurry from all the tears falling from her face, everything feeling numb from all the destructive thoughts running through her mind. "Why is life doing this to me?"Complete

SUNFLOWER [ Dark Romance ]

The two sentences inked on his neck - right below two red angel wings. "Choke me. Right here. " 』 They were wilted flowers, not ready for the light to shine on them, to expose their scars and their anger. The story of a complex, elusive bartender & a drop-out college student trying to make a life for herself. Only it's not as simple as that.
Strings
"This was too much for me to handle. There were so many questions left unanswered, so many wounds left untreated. I closed my eyes, breathing in the aroma of the flowers, trying to dissolve all the impenetrable thoughts. But it was no use. My subconscious was screaming, dying to be heard, but I refused to listen."Complete
