(former: Two Night Stand)
The problem isn't that I don't let people in
It's that I don't allow myself to get close
I don't give into how I truly feel
Because I don't want it to happen again
Defense.
I know it's a defense mechanism
And it makes me come across heartless
Uninterested.
I've been told to...
When that's a lie
I'm just scared
Isn't that what we do as humans?
We had an experience that hurt us
We learn from it
We prevent it from happening again
Fight or Flight.
I just need to learn to fight again
Let down the wall...
Let myself get close...

A Wave of Vermilion (UNDER REVISION)
LOTL #1 A Wave of Vermilion Book 1 of the Lies of the Lycoris series *** My skin suddenly feels warm. Suddenly feels seen. My heart starts to race. Like my body senses that someone has been observing, watching... Gazing. The scent and sensation grow heavier with each passing second. I can sense my closeness to the source. My body has been aware of it the whole time. For the past three hours, the prickling feeling of fixated attention never left me. At first, I thought it was just coming from the guests approaching me. But now I can sense it clearer. Because I can feel it mere inches from me.

When Did My Skin Start To Burn? (Stray #1)
Former Title: Fault Beneath the Stars Stray Boys Series #1 | 🍉 They told me I wasn't in the Book. That in the grand design of the Divine, there was no ink wasted on people like me. It is hard to live as a gay man in a society that is blind, or worse, a society that chooses blindness in the name of faith. They preach love while teaching us to hate ourselves. Because of them, your skin burns even while you are still far from hell. To be gay is to be mocked, bruised, prayed over like a disease, and treated as something less than human. They hurt us for one simple reason: we are not written in their "Holy Book" the way they are. We were never named. Never claimed. Not even spared a footnote. And perhaps that is why it is so easy for them to erase us. I grew up in a house heavy with rosaries and sacred texts, a home that echoed with novenas every Thursday morning. I learned early how to kneel, how to bow my head, and -- most of all -- how to hide. I buried my truth so deep that even I forgot what it sounded like to speak it aloud. It is hard to be gay. Harder when you fall in love with someone just like you. "That's wrong." "That's a sin." "You're going to hell." They say it like a prayer. But can they really blame me? Because in that so-called "sin," I finally found myself. In that love they condemn, I learned how to breathe without fear. With him, my wings grew where shame once lived. With him, my skin finally stopped burning. Book Cover By: Souriah Arts![A Painful Love Story [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/205131184-256-k165860.jpg)
