One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one.

Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others. 

You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being. 

                She took everything. 

His Light.

His Heart.

His Soul. 

It had no end. 

For years it went on like it would never end.

But, it did.

Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe. 

*******

"My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him."

So...this is how it feels to love a person.

"I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots." 

"Nothing can stop me from falling into your embrace."

*******

Octavia Torrance He is my hunger, my love, my obsession, and my addiction. He embodies everything he despises and loathes, cloaking his torment and darkness in black clothes, thinking I don't see. But I do. I see everything. He hates me, yet he can't leave, can't escape. Soon, he will be mine completely, and I will become Grayson. I erred in forcing him into this union, but soon he will beg for the chastity collar around his neck. All I want is to shatter him into a thousand pieces. Then, I'll gather those fragments, forcing them to fit against my own fractured heart. It doesn't matter if they don't align perfectly-I'll fucking make them fit for me. I'll make him fit for me, whether he wants it or not. Will IV The woman I can't stand is about to become my wife, whether I like it or not. I thought that if I kept my distance and focused on others, she'd lose interest and move on. But I was wrong. My actions only fueled her determination. Now, she's taken my ring and put it on her own finger, a constant reminder of her hold over me. She won't relent until one of us surrenders or we both break down. She drives me insane. She asked me, "What would you like to do with me?" I wanted to tell her I want to leave my marks on her, I want to destroy her, I want to embed myself in every part of her mind and body so that she'd be ruined for any other man but me and become perfect for me. But I also want her to disappear from my life. Instead, I stayed silent, letting her interpret things in her own twisted way. She's a pirate, and I'm the lost treasure she wants to dredge up from the depths of the sea. And I feel myself drowning, just letting her have what she so desperately wants.
A Broken Optimist by mybookobsession_

She's a lost soul, searching for Froot Loops in a world of Cheerios. Emotions. Inflicted by words, Creating signals to connect those emotions. A pang in your heart, the dull ache of love, a tedious, meaningless thing to some. The entire thing to others. Confusing, at the least. All consuming, at the most. We bundle it inside, Hide it in boxes, In the deepest crevices of our persona, Then suddenly, it burst free, tumbling into the atmosphere, filling every hour, every moment. Words convey it. Words share it. Through words, our emotions are liberated. Disclaimer: I wrote this throughout the course of a year. It had its ups and it's down in emotion. It ends on a happy note, I think. It has some overdramatic things in which my past self annoys me sometimes. But it also has some good pieces of thought. The world sucks. I can't promise that it's not going to suck, Because it probably always will. But there will be times Where the good in the world Makes it suck a little less.
Dear Blood by Yeopink

Dear Blood, Oh, blood, my love, a paradox you are, A symbol of life, a tragic scar. You flow and ebb, a constant dance, A whispered promise, a second chance. I see your beauty in the sunset's glow, A canvas painted, where passions flow. You stain the earth, a fertile mark, The lifeblood surging, leaving its stark. You whisper tales of battles won, Of ancient wounds, beneath the sun. Of hearts that break, and tears that fall, The poignant echo of a lover's call. In every beat, a silent plea, A symphony of life, for you and me. I crave your touch, a feverish need, The warmth that flows, a whispered seed. My love for you, a crimson stain, A tapestry of passion, etched in pain. For in your depths, I find my soul, A love so fierce, it takes control. So let the crimson tide flow free, A testament to your love for me. For in your veins, my heart resides, A love eternal, where passion abides. Love, Natty. _______________________________ Inspired by Liver leaf ⚠️Warning ⚠️ * This Story contains disturbing content* Do not read if sensitive Published April 2nd 2022 Republished: June 4th 2024
Sea Of Dreams by EvangelineNott
9 parts Complete Mature
Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. BOOK SAMPLE, FULLY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED FOR FREE! [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue.

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.

Ocean Goldreich is the sister I never had. Or at least, her brothers put that thing in my mind. I tried my best to look at her as my very own sister and it worked... for at least these whole year, until I met her again in Finland and somehow she looked even more perfect than I remember. And finally after all these years I gave in to my lust toward her. We crossed the lines with the promise that we will be back as brother and sister again afterward. Can I do that? The answer is bullshit. How can I look at her as my sister when all I can remember from her is our nights together. But she was so adamant to keep our relationship as best friends slash sister brother. Seriously, Ocean? Drew Roderick, I had a crush on him in all my teenage life. But he broke my heart again and again when he just looked at me as his little sister. And now, when I was over him (or I think I was), he came back to me and acted sweetly intimate romantic and whatever is far from the brotherly attitude. I tried to push him away, but I couldn't because the truth is I want him more than just a brother. Can we cross the line? The line that my brothers put is so thick between us. But, suddenly things in our life changed. Now I'm a mother of a little baby, Charlene. We have Charlene now. I can't let my lust override my brain. I have Char in stake. But why did Drew act like we are really a happy family? We are far from family. Just co-parenting a baby, right? Words {[150.000-200.000]}

Losing someone is never easy. Especially if it's your best friend. Being in love with that someone though, makes it even more complicated. * Harry and Elizabeth grew up together. They were best friends, each other's happy place. But 7 years is a long time, a lot has changed... Harry is now living his dream, basking in the glory of his success. No matter how big he gets though, he could never forget where he came from. He could never forget those big blue eyes and the hearty laugh that he was once so fond of. And Elizabeth... well, she grew up. She's not the naive little girl she was all those years ago anymore, she sees the world differently now. She does her best every day, trying to get into line and have a normal life like most of us. Running away from your past and building up walls can only work for so long though, and a certain curly headed rockstar might just be able to crumble them all down in an instant. When their paths cross again, the darkness just becomes a tad bit brighter. They eventually fall back to same old habits, the memories clearer than ever and suddenly it all just makes perfect sense again. *** "Love is friendship that has caught fire." //MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT//
