Miracles And Insomnia, Mirror and Nell’s Hopeless Valentine

Description

I met you, draped in black, the space between us filled with tears, sighs, sunlight and beads of miracles. I am the carousel of all your dreams stuffed together hurriedly, pressing against each other, torn and faded.

 

These miracles are for you.

 

I gave you the control from the very day I let you into my heart. I am the owl in the night, watching over the moon so that when you come back, she can light your path to me.

 

These sleepless nights are for you.

 

I allowed you to bruise my heart, I paved the way for you to carve your name, deliberately, painfully on my bleeding canvas. I am the transparent opal that reflects your regrets and the beauty unrivalled.

 

This mirror of truth is for you.

 

I sang to you the last song I ever sang, the last song you ever heard, the last melody that penetrated the azure blue skies, creeping into heaven. I am the emptiness that watched you leave, the silence that greets you every day when you wake up, the fireflies that don’t let you sleep, the loneliness you chose for yourself.

 

This hopeless Valentine is for you.

 

Foreword

I can’t hear you no matter what you say

Even if you push me away I’ll approach you

I don’t know anything such as your heart

Me neither.

 

 

 

Contest entry for: myths and mysterious

Inspired by Infinite’s ‘I Don’t Know’, Nell’s Hopeless Valentine  and the contest prompt:

 

Honestly, no matter how long I stared at the prompt, only word revolved around my mind: miracles. I just couldn't get it out of my head so I gave and instead based my story on that. The songs I listened to only enhanced the feeling the gif produced so I simply let my feels take over and write.

Now the writing style might be a bit difficult to follow, it starts off with 3rd person narration, then goes down to 1st person and reverts back to 1st person. It's like you started out from a distance, zoomed in, and then zoomed out. I'm really sorry if it confuses you; it seemed to work out in my mind.

Chapter 3: I don't think I've said it before but your writing is simply beautiful. All stories I've read so far are unique and they've become special in my heart. But there is something in common, I think I've cried in the majority because it brings too much emotions in me and I think that's incredible.
For this story I believe the best way to describe it is "real" I guess life is like this. As always you did a good job on this and I'm thankful I read it ^^

Chapter 3: Omg! don't expect me to form coherent sentences because i simply can't!
You say you don't know if this was angsty enough, but i was crying will reading, although i told myself not to!

I like how Myungsoo counted the time he spent without Sungjong in his heartbeats, not in days, which i find quite creative.

"Anticipation can be as painful as waiting"
this is so true.
While myungsoo was waiting for Sungjong i was restless just like myungsoo was. Because i sensed something bad would happen.
I feel really sad for Myungsoo, poor Myungsoo, he waited for so long to have this one miracle, but i guess that's how life goes.
The ending is realistic like this.

I had to smile while reading the character chart for Sungjong, it's adorable from you not to want readers to think of Sungjong as the bad guy. I'm going to miss your love for sungjong.
And why, you heavenly creature, why'd you mention my name and thank me? I did nothing, in fact i need to thank you for writing this and your other stories!

Chapter 2: Well this is beautiful.
I really don't know what else to say!
I am left speechless and more confused than i was before i left my Nuclear-Physics textbook to read this.

I really like how well Myungsoo's sufferings are expressed, how‎ it feels fresh and vibrant, and how he isn't even trying to find a way out of it? Is this love!
How Sungjong relish in hurting him, and others.
At first i thought he's doing this, to save Myungsoo the hurt, but then it turned out otherwise.
I'm surprised to see Sungjong as the bad guy in one of your stories, it's rare and i like it (is it odd that i do?) will it be explained why he's like this? Or is it simply that he's like this in this story?
I guess i have to wait for the next update to get my answers.

One last thing, for one to write something this sad, they must be experiencing, or experienced extreme grief or sadness.
I hope that in your case, the word is experienced.
