* Description:
acceptance is a quiet grave. but hope—that razor-edged, honey-lipped thief—will pick the lock every time.

this is unrequited love in all its brutal grace, in all its charming, commendable propriety: the way it severs you cleanly, leaving no room for wisdom until you choked on every false hope, not at all capable of reviving it unless cast a dismal annoyance and resentment first toward the person in question.

'are you the portrait that gazes back, lifeless and unknowing,
while i pour everything, every fiber of my being, into every stroke of brush?
dearest, i will drink the poison willingly, if that truly is our destiny'

there are also several prose poems about self-acceptance, lies, betrayal, guilt, and being a Nastenka all over again. but mostly, it is about loving someone in silence—sincerely, desperately, and decently—while also standing at the edge of a cliff, where every step forward could be flight or freefall.

ah, and also … some loves are a solo bearing
others?
a collision of three heartbeats
(you’ll know which is which)

Thank you so much for your help<3. But I'm sorry, can you edit the description part: 'others' is supposed to be below (I forgot to break it to new line)

like this:
