Me Ripping My Organs Out Because Why Does This Even Matter

{Words by Lily Rain @lilyrainpoetry on Instagram}

My toxic trait is I overthink and break my own heart.

i love when i'm in the car at night and i look out the window and the moon is following me. it's so romantic. we've been doing this since i was a child

affected me something like a death

me clinging to the warmth & comfort of her soul

“I don’t want you to save me. I want you to stand by my side as I save myself.”

— Unknown

i wasn’t supposed to be a person i should be a well-loved mug or a worn paperback book or a favorite hoodie or a keychain plushie or something

[…] sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in […]

Jane Austen, from 'Sense and Sensibility'

anxious x avoidant is NOT the move never do it
