when you left I hated you

not because you broke my heart

but because you took my favorite things with you

the music because I find you in every lyric

the sun because you were my light

the laugh that only you could pull from me

the mannerisms you pointed out to me

the smell of hair dye.

when you left I hated you

not because you broke my heart

but because you took my life with you.

Naked truth:

Ryle Kincaid is probably one of my favorite characters that I've ever read about.

His actions are inexcusable but his character is so in depth and messy and captivating that I find myself trying to dig into his brain to try and understand how it works.

Ryle Kincaid is just a guy, a guy who did some bad things.

I'd love to talk to you guys about what you think about him and "It ends with us" as a whole. We can exchange thoughts and maybe the both of us will walk away with more knowledge.

hot take from it ends with us by Colleen Hoover:

Ryle doesn't want to be the bad guy. He realizes he is and hates himself for it, he cannot imagine how he could ever hurt the woman he loves so much; the woman he wanted to change for and spend the rest of his life with. "There is no such thing as 'bad people.' We are all just people that sometimes do bad things." Ryle is not a bad person. He owns up to his mistakes and is willing to learn and try and move on from them. He loves Lily enough to know that despite how much he loves her, that he isn't good for her. He lets her go despite it being the last thing he wants to do, because he understands. I love Ryle, and I want to give him a hug so bad.

When he was wiping that cow shit on me, it was quite possibly the most turned-on I have ever been.

My branches sway

above love-sick mortals

blinded by Cupid.

I hear the ba-dum of their hearts

full of ignorance

unknowing.

Their love pretends,

I want to yell.

Watching not you, but another

like a lion watching their prey.

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

in the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

staring out to the star-lit sky

longing gazes towards them,

the astral gasses millions of years old.

so complex yet so loved.

why can't I be like them?

[poetshiraeth]

breaths slow, eyes close.

lights dim, consciousness fades

as I am transported to a place so familiar

that I welcome with open arms,

and a breath of relief.

I woke up, and lived the reality that you're not in anymore.
