Is it weird to cry over your own love poetry?

Asking for a friend.

~~~~

Scarr'd Love

Your fear, my love, is drowning your desire

I can sense it

I know it of old

Like a childhood friend

Nostalgia has buried within our play that it was an escape

from torment elsewhere

But we are not children any longer

We've met our abusers to face

and called them

by name

The scars still linger

The fear still washes cold

through our gut

But come play with me, my love

No flood of nostalgia;

only the tumbling raucous

brook'd truth

of our love

~~~~

Me checking if y'all are properly appreciating my poetic genius:

@helsiebaby replied to your post “So, I was re-reading I'd Rather to tide me over till Not Your Fault updates (no pressure, can't rush perfection ^_^) and a fanmix spilled fully formed out of my mind, which made me wonder, do you like fanmixes? How would you take to random fans making you fanmixes?”

DUDE DUDE FANMIXES *_______* I feel like there is a particular quality to fanmixes that is the knowledge that someone has walked along a road listening to THIS ONE TRACK on ENDLESS REPEAT holding back FLOODS OF TEARS because ohgodfeelings ;asjg;akjld

yes yes, the fact that they made someone feel something, and they're sharing that in a playlist, oh GOD, it's like one of those old Regency letters where no one can say what they're truly feeling and you have to just believe in the force of it until you understand it from the inside out.
