“When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.”

--The Plight of The Morning Glory--

When in darkness she twists and withers

And her petals all broken and bruised

The mourning glory, on her namesake she delivers

Her name of bright bliss abused

And her shame complete

Not the rising of the sun, but the falling of tears

As she sleeps in cold defete

She tallys her fears

-A.T.O

"She has an unconventional type of beauty; she doesn't have high cheek bones or perfect eyebrows or a defined jaw line or perfect hair or straight teeth or perfect lips or even a perfect body; not all of her curves are in the "right" place. She doesn't have green or blue eyes, but her brown eyes hold the stars. Her lips are not perfect, but when she laughs it's loud and free, the sound could bring the dead back to life and calm the most restless soul. Her teeth are not straight, but when she smiles she could rival the sun's light. Her body is not perfect, but when I see her form in the distance I only want to hold her forever. She has an unconventional type of beauty, but it's not unconventional to me."

-A.T.O

-when i said:

"Do you really care that much for him, or do you care that little for yourself? I'm beginning to wonder how much of yourself you are willing to burn to give him a little light so can he write his lies into your skin and onto your bones, he's gaslighting you at every other word, and you are falling again and again, always falling..."

-i witness so much pain-

-and all i am left to do is watch as it happens again-

[alessio-oscuro]

I am leaving this place

I am not only a face

No one can follow

You think I am wholely hollow

I will bathe in the blood of all who search

I will not look back as forward I lurch

I will not be found

Not even in love

I must not be found

Not even in love

I am leaving this place

I am not a charity case

You treat me like invisible

Your neglect makes me miserable

I am broken and torn

But I am not fragile and I do not mourn

Listen when I speak with disgrace

I am leaving this place

I will not be found

Not even in love

I must not be found

Not even in love

-A.T.O

"My friend, if my advice holds any value to you, listen closely when I say; fall in love in a brighter room, where you can see wholely the face and mind and soul and body of whom you fall for. If you fall in love in a dark room you will have every unpleasant surprise to find that you know not who you love. When the candles are lit and cast light upon your love as paint upon a canvas, will the colors still be as vibrant?"

...and so so worth it

[alessio-oscuro]

Did you not know of my fire?

I did know your plight...

How are my hands covered in mire?

I gave you my filthy vows...

Did you not see me burning?

I had no reason to fight...

Is there nothing left in turning?

You gave me your heart, your heres and your nows...

Did you know and in spite of all still leave?

Why should I give any of it back?

I did break and I did grieve.

Where is my heart to give care where I lack?

-A.T.O

"must my hands always be so stained with the black blood of the things i have said? must i carry the titles of my love and hate for the world? must i bare the marks of those who speak up? must i indeed be bared to the ravenous hate of all who dare?"

[alessio-oscuro]

Bleeding lips

Broken noses

Black tulips

Crimson roses

Soft kisses

Sweet smells

Perfect buds

Beautiful bells

Evil hands

Ruined lives

Lost loves

Bloody knives

Pure fingers

Saved smiles

Soul mates

Mosaic tiles

Dark moons

Stormy nights

Dead flowers

Taken rights

Bright skies

Light breeze

Thriving lilies

Spoken ease

Destroyed minds

Unyielding fears

Tormented hearts

Unforgiven tears

Joyful thoughts

Friendly ties

Healthy charity

Sparkling eyes

-A.T.O

[alessio-oscuro]

My skies are on fire

Heaven sees your mind

Hell knows you are a liar

The bloody ties that bind

One by one they fell

Two by two they end

Three by three they dispel

But still you do not mend

Your thoughts never phase

Your eyes do not see my pain

Your heart is not set ablaze

Your face is turned to ordain

My eyes are dry

My face full of dirt and mire

My mind is first to deny

But even still my skies are on fire

-A.T.O

"If i cannot be wanted for who i am in my entirety, i will make myself necessary, and if i cannot be made necessary even to the stories of others, let me be used until there’s nothing left of me. Shall i be deemed useless, i will tear at the doors of hell like a prodigal son, there and only there will i exist in melancholy. I will not live in useless expectancy..."
