The feminine urge to ramble like a lunatic about your favourite books to every pair of ears you come across while simultaneously gatekeeping because that is the reason you were able to function that one week and your personality stems entirely from it

Bitches be like "he's the love of my life" but he's just another fictional man that sets their bar for love higher and higher and yet breaks their heart because they know that love may never exist.
It's me, I'm Bitches.

A world of light
Where roses burn, soft petals lie scattered,
Exhibiting the bane of worldly weight
In their clinging to colours, damned to fade.
For a second there, I thought love mattered,
However, I see this miserly state
As proof of its expendable design.
Once purpose has been served, I am afraid
What love established, life will see battered,
Until all there's left is a ruined slate.
However, that rose was never betrayed;
She never was claimed in ‘forever mine’;
She never did ‘want’, let alone too much.
She withers with grace, for she does not pine
A world of light, vivified by your touch.

And the rain won't make any difference? No"
