My hands are plunged in a darkness- I am cursed by my own skin. The sky shines in the scars that adorn me.
One slash, one line for each time I was betrayed.
But there is a story to be told of a boy, an adventure, of triumph and of death. We were the rulers of our own darkness, not heroes, but chaos in a land old and ready to crawl into its bed just one last time.

Staring at the oil painted sun until my body finally gave up trying to find air. I would just drift away with the water. No one here. No one was around. How peaceful. How fitting to end my violent story with the soft ripples of this creek. -------------------------- Mature themes Both broken. Both with dark pasts. Can they overcome the demons together?

The Feeling Underneath
"The stars are infinite. And all I've ever wanted was an infinite." ______________ All I knew was pain. Pain was I, and I was pain. We shared each other, mind and body. Me and pain were made for each other like puzzle pieces, and that sickened me. I loved pain, I hated pain. I loved bringing the knife to my wrist, but I hated the ache in my chest, like drowning. There was nothing I sought more than my own self destruction. And here, amongst the stars, skies, and cliffs, I'd find what I sought. I'd make it mine. I'd become infinite.

Where The Fireworks Felt Gentle
Three years ago, I thought I had everything - a relationship that looked perfect on the outside but slowly burned me from within. I was the girl who stayed, even when the silence between us was louder than any explosion in the sky. It started with a lie - a hidden account, a woman I was told not to worry about, and a month of being ghosted for simply asking why. I cried, begged, and convinced myself that love was meant to be endured, that pain was just proof of how much I cared. But love shouldn't feel like walking through smoke, trying to find someone who's already gone. Love shouldn't make you afraid of the noise. And yet, I stayed - blinded by the sparks that hurt more than they shined. Until one December night beneath a sky of bursting colors, someone stood beside me. The world was loud, but for the first time, I wasn't afraid. The fireworks that once made me flinch now felt soft, safe... gentle. That was the night everything changed. That was the night I learned what love was truly meant to feel like.

Chances Of Truth ☑️
"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Complete
