You got my number, you can make the call Until then I won't bother you at all I'd let you walk all over me again But a smile is something I could not pretend

And every time I felt like this was wrong You made me feel like I should tag along Once or twice it would be nice to see you Even if I don't believe you

Even if I don't believe the life you lead There will always be a time when you would need Someone, something Someone, not me

There'll be no doubt, intentions clear We'll hide our thoughts behind the mirror There'll be no wrong, there'll be no right But this could be a lonely night With wintered steps our footprints fall But I can't feel a thing at all

I know it's wrong to make assumptions But without them then I'm left with nothing I've always focused on the fractions To slowly understand what happened

I know you've got a lot of questions But the answers always aren't the best thing Once or twice it would be nice to see you Even if it's bad for me to

Even if I don't believe the life you lead There will always be a time when you would need Someone, something Someone, not me

There'll be no doubt, intentions clear We'll hide our thoughts behind the mirror There'll be no wrong, there'll be no right But this could be a lonely night With wintered steps our footprints fall But I can't feel a thing at all

“Love isn’t about effort -- I pour my blood sweat and tears into becoming more of something, and you see someone who already has those qualities and leave me.”

There are two halves -- the fundamentals, and the room for growth. We determine what is fundamental to our needs and what we wish to see in a partner, and we've made a bad decision for ourselves when we pick someone who lacks those fundamental qualities.

Then there's the room for growth -- perhaps you've found a partner whose character is of a high quality, sure. But they leave their dirty socks all over the house. Or they're not mindful with their money. Or they raise their voice too often. Love is the effort it takes them to overcome those habits because they know that it would better themselves and make you happy.

If you find someone is spending blood, sweat, and tears to meet the qualities you deem fundamental though, you've either chosen some really shallow qualities and deemed them fundamentals, or your partner isn't the right fit for you. Maybe they need more time on their own, or maybe they need to find someone whose fundamental expectation of a person matches up with who they are.

If someone better looking walks by and your partner jumps ship, they're pretty shallow and not a good fit for you. If someone with character walks by and your partner jumps ship because you have none, you're probably not ready to be in a relationship yet, no matter how hard you were trying.

And everything is beautiful And nothing hurts And everything is transient And you are transcendent

#poetry #spilled ink

For: rowan-oak-o-flow

Grasping at straws, Moments passing and each moment passing by.

Couldn't be bothered To wait, and watch, And couldn't be bothered Much at all

Begging solitude and breathing silence

Grasping at straws, I found the last one

#spilled ink #poetry

Contrast is not an excuse for misery.

Abandoned Draft

What an ocean I’m drowning in A vast infinity Of blankets To replace your warmth When I could be swimming In your eyes

#poetry #spilled ink

For: thecloserigettheharderifall

How can you listen to wind? Sitting, straining, breeze across my brow Momentarily wondering how

How can you possibly listen to wind? When each word that it whispers blows Slowly by, almost as if A scream that never hoped to be heard

Each cry for help, Tugged gently back through the fan Shouting to be felt By anyone who knows to listen

But how could you listen to wind?

#poetry #spilled ink

For: smakka--bagms

Each countermeasure Bore its own weight Buckled as it healed And struggling, felt The burden Of waves crashing upon waves

"Bring me solutions and not problems" Solutions are problems for problems And I am those.

I did this a few years ago, and I’m doing it again. The first fifty people to reblog this will get a new poem.

I'd just like to take this moment to note that google search autocomplete is a highly personalized system that tries its best to track you even if you are not logged in. Posting screenshots of things google auto-suggests is not proof of an ailing society, just a portrait of you circlejerking yourself in a dark room.

Not so different, You and I But where you feel sorrow I seek it And where you feel helpless I surrender

Do as I say and not as i do.

I must write frequently.
