the unsaid

Of words and books and letters and a million things left unsaid.

it is a tuesday when i love someone who doesn’t love me. no, it’s not the first time, but it’s a sad time. oh, it’s always a sad time but my heart doesn’t listen, doesn’t understand, soars like a child in a rocket ship, doesn’t believe in gravity. doesn’t believe in learning a lesson. wants to give until there is nothing left but glitter. wants to say something even if no one is listening. what is love anyway? a curse, a promise, a shadow that never fits the  body. sometimes too big and sometimes not big enough. my heart, all hospitality and sweetness: baby, yes, of course there is room for you here. and then, like a bitter landlord, watching someone put his feet on my coffee table, the same coffee table no one ever helps me clean: you’ve overstayed your welcome. get out. go home.

To The Heartbroken: Where Does Love Go When We Break Up? People are confusing heartbreak with anger, sadness, or ‘obsession’ of past love gone. Let me correct you, this world is obsessed with love: you, me, him, her. People who are not heartbroken are obsessed with love - with keeping it. So, the heartbroken aren’t a disease that can’t be cured - the heartbroken are the strongest most beautiful misunderstood group. They have loved and lost, been alone and grown. They search for many answers, especially: “Where does our love go when we break up?” - humans crave closure. Love doesn’t go away, it doesn’t have feet it can’t run. Those feelings created, molded for that one person don’t disappear overnight, they seem to be left lingering in the air - nowhere to go, the love is left in a directionless way hoping to find its way back to them, but more so it doesn’t make it and you are left heartbroken - feeling lost, wandering to get back home. You invested time, emotion & energy into this soul. But remember there is a bond between you and this person that is unique, that is unlike anyone else - and that love will always be there, not just in you, but in them as well. What if they have moved on you might ask? You feel hurt, you feel like this person must be better than you, you start to tear yourself apart piece by piece. Let me stop your self-abuse right now. No one can compete with the love you two had. That new person who you think replaced you - didn’t. You can’t be replaced; there will always be only one you. They might try to replicate what you two had, but there is only one original Starry Night and you’ll always be the masterpiece he foolishly left behind. Don’t think that when he hears that song you sung in the car together or smells that perfume you used to wear, or finds those letters you gave that their heart doesn’t flutter, that their mind doesn’t race back to your smile, to all the jokes and adventures you went on - or even simpler when they look at nature and see a sunflower that they don’t think of how you radiated in their eyes - they do. You are missed, just as you are missing them. Believe and know that you are enough, love lost is not love failed. I look at you and I don’t see someone heartbroken, or obsessed I see someone who loves selflessly and that’s the most breathtaking love from the purest soul. You put someone first before yourself. But now it’s your turn to tuck that love into the back of your heart and move forward. I know you’re in pain, I know you love them and guess what? They love you too. Sometimes we selfishly break each other because time wasn’t on our side, or maybe there is another complicated reason for the way your heart broke. Whatever happened, remember you are loved, you are beautiful, inside and out - keep that heart on your sleeve. Go live, really live there is so much to see in this world than just those eyes you crave. You’ll find a new love that surpasses the one who broke you. Finding a soulmate is beautiful but finding yourself is life changing. Perhaps loving someone has nothing to do with being with them forever, but caring about them forever. A Selfless love. And remember if someone asks: “Where does love go when you break up?” I say the relationship, the friendship might end, but true love never dies, never leaves. It stays living underneath it all.

Hilariously Morbid Illustrations by Jon Michael Frank

American artist Jon Michael Frank composes hilariously morbid illustration, which depict a list of existential crisis humanity faces daily. Frank uses a messy doodle technique to express the depression and raw sadness. The illustrations are of composed of daily feelings of dread and the fear of death. The messy handwriting and the scrawled doodles symbolize the harsh reality Frank expresses.

They document the struggle of desire and not “getting what you want.” Their irony creates a satirical conversation, which is easily accessible. The drawings resonate with deep dark feelings, we all face and push deep inside. The dissatisfaction of reaching our goals or the fear or merely breathing and existing, rather than living are explicitly portrayed. You can find his entire collection in his Etsy shop.

I give myself five days to forget you: On the first day I rust. On the second, I wilt. On the third day I sit with friends, but I think about your tongue. I clean my room on the fourth day. I clean my body on the fourth day. I try to replace your scent on the fourth day. The fifth day, I adorn myself like the mouth of an inmate. The Midas of cheap metal. I glow the way unwanted things do, A neon sign that reads; “Come, I will taste like someone else’s mouth.”

“1. I’m lonely so I do lonely things 2. Loving you was like going to war; I never came back the same. 3. You hate women, just like your father and his father, so it runs in your blood. 4. I was wandering the derelict car park of your heart looking for a ride home. 5. You’re a ghost town I’m too patriotic to leave. 6. I stay because you’re the beginning of the dream I want to remember. 7. I didn’t call him back because he likes his girls voiceless. 8. It’s not that he wants to be a liar; it’s just that he doesn’t know the truth. 9. I couldn’t love you, you were a small war. 10. We covered the smell of loss with jokes. 11. I didn’t want to fail at love like our parents. 12. You made the nomad in me build a house and stay. 13. I’m not a dog. 14. We were trying to prove our blood wrong. 15. I was still lonely so I did even lonelier things. 16. Yes, I’m insecure, but so was my mother and her mother. 17. No, he loves me he just makes me cry a lot. 18. He knows all of my secrets and still wants to kiss me. 19. You were too cruel to love for a long time. 20. It just didn’t work out. 21. My dad walked out one afternoon and never came back. 22. I can’t sleep because I can still taste him in my mouth. 23. I cut him out at the root, he was my favorite tree, rotting, threatening the foundations of my home. 24. The women in my family die waiting. 25. Because I didn’t want to die waiting for you. 26. I had to leave, I felt lonely when he held me. 27. You’re the song I rewind until I know all the words and I feel sick. 28. He sent me a text that said “I love you so bad.” 29. His heart wasn’t as beautiful as his smile 30. We emotionally manipulated one another until we thought it was love. 31. Forgive me, I was lonely so I chose you. 32. I’m a lover without a lover. 33. I’m lovely and lonely. 34. I belong deeply to myself .”

I want to believe that to love is a choice. For when I glanced at you for the first time, I had all the chance to look away. But I chose to look a second longer and there my world has alienated every single concept that I knew about choice.

You hate that you feel so deeply, because he never wanted to drink from what you had to offer. Do you not know? Do you not know that any man would be so lucky as to have someone like you? That the stars are envious of your passion and the way your soul burns. Do you not know? That winter has wished that it could be as powerful as you, so that it could cover the whole world in it’s crystal touch. Spring is in your footsteps, Summer in your laughter, Autumn in your eyes, and your soul cuts into the hearts of those you meet like winter. Do you not know? That no matter how deep the ocean is, there is life. So love deeply, for in your depths life is found. Do you not know? That some men would lose their lives for a heart like yours. Do you not know? That you should never apologize for the love you overflow, for some have been praying for love their whole life, and you might be the answer. Do you not know? That you are allowed to love deeply, hurt deeply, laugh deeply, and live deeply. Where else will our roots go? Where else will our adventure find us? Where else can we ever hope to grow, but in the depths of loves.
