  • Alright, so I've always liked dirty pretty.
    But you, you bring a new meaning to it.
    Hotdamn if I'm not in love with your writing.

    i love the emotion you put into this, even as i'm sorry you had to feel that way
    this is absolutely brilliantly written

  • Awww, this was beautifully written! The emotion was intense and I love the metaphors/images you used to portray such feelings. These lines perfectly describe my most recent relationship:

    You vowed to give me a choice
    And I said I'd give it [all] up*

    WOW. Amazingly powerful words and you took all my thoughts and penned them wonderfully.

    Thank you for sharing this<3

    i liked this very much, which is strange bcoz this isnt normally what i like, but it was quirky and different, and used very good imagery.
