It Hurts


I have been afraid to write of love lately. It takes away too much out of me.

Love is the essence of living. And there are days, which these days are most days when I feel it hurts too much to speak of love with careless abandon. I did so once. Perhaps even dared to do it twice. Once all was said done, I was left with a mere shell of my words. 

If I dab my pen too much into love’s ink, it hurts. It hurts when I speak of what I had. It hurts when I speak of what I don’t have. It hurts to look at my empty hands and I realize even my wishes have slipped through my fingers.

Full

Just one of those nights
When you feel like crumbling
Under the weight of the world
Ready to throw in the fight
There is so much pain
So much of it
It’s everywhere
There is no end in sight
My heart is full
So full tonight
I couldn’t possibly feel
Anything, any longer
Even if I tried.

Love Always,
R.

Never Home

Thoughts and emotions
Run high and low
As I watch the gentle flame
Burn aglow
A strange atmosphere
Surrounds me
As I scorch in the
Wicked cold
Trying to free myself
From your
Magnetic hold
The attempt is
Futile
That I already know
You have a place
In my heart
But you’re never home

A Confused Heart

Pain
Like love you can’t define
You feel it as you do love
Love comes in many forms
In many different wavelengths
And in many different sizes
It always differs
Never quite defined
In the same manner twice

Such is pain
The void in my chest
Is a pain that I cannot describe
I don’t feel a thing
Yet I know somewhere inside
Emptiness resides
Are these two paradoxically the same thing
Feeling empty
Or not feeling anything at all

But I know this
I can’t just get rid of it
This feeling
That may
Or may not exist
It’s haunting presence
Or lack there off
Is eating me up
Hollowing me out

Have you any idea
What I am going on about
If you find yourself confused
Know that you’re in company
Whether good or bad
I cannot say
As confusion takes over
I close my eyes
And just… let it stay
