cruel how loving someone rewires you permanently.

[letsbelonelytogetherr]

loving someone will indefinitely alter your brain chemistry

[poemsbyla]

I was left alone in desert heat

buzzards circling above

every one of my dreams deferred

and they’ve got my heart as the main course

scavenger, Under An Equinox Sky

[luvdeadd]

[poemsbyla]

there was lightning in my bedroom

claps of thunder in my veins

wondering how people get along

as I sit idle with my pain

I could taste the frost before the storm

hear all the whispers that would follow

an icicle impaled into my heart

reminders of things that left me hollow

there was sunlight in his smile

a sweet invitation in his eyes

the grief I’ve failed to reconcile

running from guilt for quite some time

my brooding was quite messy

though i’m sure you’ve been there, too

a cyclone that keeps accelerating

my pretty disaster with a view

weathering the emotional stormfront, Under An Equinox Sky

[poemsbyla]

Dandelion seeds &

broken eyelashes

are no longer sufficient enough

for my dreams to come to

fruition

[and-i-love-i]

I want someone who can see and make room for all the dark parts of me too, not just the parts that feel easy and sweet. My irritability, dark thoughts, my intensity, and not flinch or try to 'fix' me.

Margaret Atwood, from a journal entry featured in Early Essays & Journals

Being sensitive is a strength—it means you feel deeply. But unkindness? That’s a choice, and a sad one.
