Beauty Has Secrets

They said she was beautiful — the kind of beautiful that made silence stretch whenever she walked into a room.
But what they never noticed was the quiet storm behind her eyes.

To them, she was grace.
To me, she was gravity.

We met in a room filled with laughter and music, yet she spoke as if she was hiding from both. Her smile was polite, her perfume soft — like rain that falls but doesn’t touch the ground. I asked her name; she gave me one. I knew instantly it wasn’t real.

Later that night, when the noise faded, she found me by the balcony — wind tugging her hair, moonlight kissing her shoulders.
“Everyone sees beauty,” she said quietly, “but no one asks what it costs.”

Her words lingered.
So did her touch.

She let me trace the edge of her jaw, the softness that shouldn’t belong to someone who looked so untouchable. And in that moment, I realized beauty wasn’t a gift — it was armor. Every perfect curve, every calm smile, every measured breath was a shield for the parts of her that had been bruised too deeply to show.

When I kissed her, she didn’t melt — she exhaled.
Like someone finally allowed to stop pretending.

There was no promise after. No exchange of numbers. Just the quiet understanding that not every story needs an ending.

Because sometimes, even beauty has secrets — and sometimes, those secrets are what make it unforgettable.

✍️ "Weak in the Knees"

 He had me against the wall before I could say his name — fingers digging into my hips like he’d paid for the right to bruise me. He kissed me like he was angry, tongue sliding against mine until I gasped — that sound he loved, the one that made his grip tighten. By the time he slid his hand between my thighs, my knees were gone — soft, trembling, useless. I whispered don’t stop but I didn’t need to. He wasn’t going anywhere. He knelt right there, lips on my inner thigh, mouth making promises my body already believed. And when his tongue finally found me — hot, slow, devastating — my back hit the wall and I heard him laugh into my skin. “Weak in the knees for me, baby?” All I could do was moan — and give him everything he’d come for.

✍️ Somebody’s Shoulder Is About to Give Up

 Somebody’s shoulder is tired. Not from lifting weights — but from carrying everyone else’s silence. She smiles like she’s fine, but she’s tired of being the strong one. The listener. The fixer. The one who holds everyone together — even while she’s falling apart. She answers texts when she’s the one who needs comfort. She claps for others even when no one claps for her. She gives. She bends. But she’s starting to break. You’d never notice. Because she hides it like a pro. But if you look closely, her eyes say: “I need someone to carry me now.” Somebody’s shoulder is about to give up. And the saddest part? She’ll still ask you if you’re okay — while she's quietly drowning.

I get jealous over someone who isn’t even mine.

It’s embarrassing, honestly. Feeling jealous over someone who hasn’t promised me anything. Someone who owes me nothing. Someone who might not even like me back the way I like them. But here I am — getting irritated when I see their name pop up with someone else, getting quiet when they don’t text back on time, overthinking when they post something that doesn’t include me. I act unbothered. I pretend I’m cool. I respond with “lol” and emojis like my heart isn’t acting stupid. But inside? I’m burning. Not because they’re mine but because I wish they were. I know it’s foolish. I know I have no right. But feelings don’t wait for permission. They attach themselves quietly, softly, and then violently — especially when you try to ignore them. Jealousy without entitlement is the worst kind. Because you suffer silently, pretending you don’t care, while hoping one day they’ll choose you so you can finally stop lying to yourself.
