RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - M. Gandhi
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Makoto & Rin). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Makoto/Rin). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!

No Tags, possibly supernatural if you go that way

I feel you in these walls
You're a cold air creeping in
Chill me to my bones and skin
I heard you down the hall
But it's vacant when I'm looking in
Who let you in?

You walk around like you own the place
But you never say anything
I caught you walking straight through my walls
Guess it was all my fault
I think I let you in

— My House (PVRIS)

tags: angst and implied breakup ~~why don't i love myself??~~
poetry, 54 lines

there's two things you've learned,
on loving and leaving.
one is terrifying, but rewarding, achingly slow or quick adrenaline rush.
the other, lingering, a different, burning and painful ache.

he's someone you welcome,
someone you let in.

for a moment, you're thinking,
'this is what i want.
this is what i have.'
and in that second. you do have everything.

he's someone you had all of in one second,
and none of in the next.

then, then, settling reality.
'this is what i want.
this is what i had.'
past tense. no more. gone.

but, love doesn't dissipate so easily.
it's heavy fog,
blinding haze that
doesn't lift when you snap your fingers, begging, pleading.

you have memories,
your finger hovering over the delete button
of old photos and texts.
things you had then, but have lost now.

(things you can't bring yourself
to let go of.)

(not completely.)

(never completely.)

he's a ghost now,
and you can't separate the blurred lines
between reality and dream,
want and truth.

you want.
want him to be real, here again.
want this piece of each other.
want this love.

but, truth is,
it's long out of reach.
nothing but a specter,
a shade of a past you once had, now void and vacant.

and you could say,
that you regret letting him in in the first place,
that you regret loving
now that you've lost it.

you could say,
that it's your fault
for letting someone claim your heart this way.
your fault for letting him in.

but really,
you don't think you really could.
because love and loss are both
an agonizingly slow ache.

one is just better, more exhilarating, than the other,
you've learned.

Ah! I absolutely love this! I've read it ten times already lol Thank you :D
