MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

The Theater Girl and the Player by 0o0sbookshop
27 parts Ongoing
*FIRST DRAFT, ONGOING* Peyton Thoms joins TSHigh's theater club. In a couple of seconds of gossip, she is now considered part of the dorks, in the eyes of the other students of her school... Great. Her hopes of having a hot senior boyfriend are being tossed right out of the window and Peyton is getting more and more desperate to be loved by literally anyone. When Carla, the "leader" of the theater family gets her heart broken, no, not just broken, but stomped on by a thousand elephants (as she described) by a sophomore whilst she is a senior, every member comforts the poor girl, including Peyton, still the young girl can't help but wonder what 15 year old can break a 17 years old's heart like that. Must be a real hottie... So when, in a truth or dare game she plays with her dorky friends, they give her a dare to ask out renowned player Stephen, Peyton doesn't need much convincing (well she still needs a little push)... But after some teasing and messing with him, a bond forms around the lie that is Peyton and Stephen. But it was a dare, there was no future attached to it. So... Who is going to get ghosted first, the theater girl or the player? ⚠️ CRINGE ALERT ⚠️ If you don't like 🧀y love stories, just, ummm DON'T read this as you may (or may not) be cringed out. This is highly inspired by the album Fearless from Taylor Swift. #itsalovestorybabyjustsayyes. ⬅️ This was the original title, but I changed it for the current 1️⃣. I'm also not trying to hide that each chapter's titles are also the same as each Taylor Swift's song title featured in the Fearless album, it was the goal :) Hope you enjoy, have a great read 📖!
