Speak Soft When You Say It

     I brought for your affection      A quiet prayer of love,      My first earthly suffering,      And my first tears.      Oh, listen, if only from pity!      You could return me      To goodness and Heaven.      Clothed in the holy cover of your love,      I would appear there,      Like a new angel in a new glow;      O! please listen,      I beg of you,      I am your slave, I love you!

@thatgeekydame commissioned this Reylo piece based on a piece by J.C. Leyendecker and I had so much fun with it!

YA LIT MEME // EIGHT OTPS: [1/8] Alina Starkov & The Darkling

“Why won’t you leave me alone?” I whispered one night as he hovered behind me while I tried to work at my desk. Long minutes passed. I didn’t think he would answer. I even had time to hope he might have gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder. “Then I’d be alone, too,” he said, and he stayed the whole night through, till the lamps burned down to nothing.
