golden ash winged moths, cling to my window. I have no fear, I'll look them in the eyes and watch them perish for death, although uncertain, is inevitable. I noticed drops turned to rain, flowing like hot, slow poison in my veins, cursed fire. I am in blind rage at death's very nature, that it occurs at all is heartbreaking. Why do I think about how it could've ended? Why do I need you? I would hold you but it would be a waste of my love.. For I know you must go far from me in due time..and I must not be susceptible to your smell or the split second memories of your warmth.. No, I cannot love you. |

perhaps, but you can love the experience, the change it made in your life, and will continue to do...Yes? Complexities and how we define them...wonderful write |

IT is such a cointoss whether to let it in knowing its shelf life can be one of a butterflies...but ahh that pretty butterfly tapps my heart every time |

Denying ourself the experience of what is, for what could be is truly self-deprevation. I guess the older you get the more you wish to take from whatever crosses your past the best of it, chalk up the bad to a directive to take into the next encounter, and move on. I do understand this though, for holding back love is just fear of so many things that our human forms find unpleasant and out of our control. There again Meghan, the older you get you learn that you need them to make you all you can be. Excellent write. |
