And I realized... Being busy wasn't what I looked for, Busy Busy Too busy To think. Busy Busy So busy So tired Asleep. I looked for busy people Because then They'd understand The depths And the dark That only constant running Can feed. And how exhausting it is, To have to escape. Every day.

I hate love It never leaves you alone Clawing, whispering at you And it, in its full glowing form never stays long But its ghost never leaves. A song creeps onto my speakers And I’m there Brushing your hair off your face Grossly in love Holding you so close. And I can’t exorcise it I’ve purged you Deleted your existence from my life But I can’t delete that love And its lingering too long. And I’m exhausted, haunted By something long dead That I’ve buried I’ve found out Love’s flame is eternal, isn’t it.

love's flame eternal

I hate love It never leaves you alone Clawing, whispering at you And it, in its full glowing form never stays long But its ghost never leaves. A song creeps onto my speakers And I’m there Brushing your hair off your face Grossly in love Holding you so close. And I can’t exorcise it I’ve purged you Deleted your existence from my life But I can’t delete that love And its lingering too long. And I’m exhausted, haunted By something long dead That I’ve buried I’ve found out Love’s flame is eternal, isn’t it.

Like ribbons of smoke dancing in the air You were beautiful You were the Northern lights Important enough to be watched in the freezing cold You were fleeting and sweet Cream swirling in coffee Ripples in a pond I loved you But like all ephemeral things Eventually you left too.

Kissing you was like breathing air Simple and natural Easy and sweet But I didn't want air I craved a forest fire I needed a tornado to rip through me I wanted bruises and cuts But I craved you For you to be the eye of the storm To be there as air So when the winds died I could still breathe Because though I wanted heat Fire dies without air Just like me, without you.

I loved you so My darling beau And I thought you loved me too Until you stopped And then I was dropped On the floor with memories and tears I adored you so much But my grip you un-clutched And entwined your hand with someone new Now time has passed Though my heart still is gashed I finally feel hope again Because though you hurt me I finally feel free Because I survived loving you.

Once I thought love was tangible. That it was gentle, precious Careful and sweet Then I realized that love was an idea A theory that bruised and crumpled Until you were used and torn I don’t believe in love anymore

Bright and shining it was brand new Held with awkwardness and care Admiration grew Slowly less awkward Strengthening Until it was knocked down Punctured Broken And those problems were hidden away Unknown It was too late It had passed And in the aftermath I learned that shiny and new things age Die.
