Imagine having as many hearts as you have hands.

Imagine one Doesn't Belong to you.

Imagine how easy it is to juggle two things

Imagine how hard it is to juggle three things.

Imagine catching three hearts

Imagine dropping one

Imagine picking it back up.

Imagine juggling four hearts.

Imagine being so talented you can catch two in each hand.

One day.

Imagine the one heart
covered in bruises.

Always dropped.
Always picked back up.

Imagine it doesn't belong to you

The thoughts
In my head
Are killing me
Slowly.
The doubt
Is contagious.  
Slowly,
Setting me
Ablaze.
Slowly,
Killing me
Inside.
Slowly

So confused
So conflicted
It was
her
Then it was
Me
Then repeat
Now it's on
Me
Again
So conflicted  
So confused
k.s.

The tears
were streaming down
my face
because she still
had your heart.
So undeserving
of your perfection.
Come back
to me.
k.s.

Lorraine day
She shared her love
He left her crying
She told him truths
He began lying
She praised him
With each word spoken
He repaid her
With a heart left broken
No harmony
No mutual love was felt
The day to her this card dealt
She's moved on now
Met someone nice
Never to make
The same mistake twice ...

I love you, and because I do...I want you to find someone who loves you as much as I do—more, if possible. Because you can't love me, because you don't want my love, don't want me. But I love you more than anything, enough to let you go if you ask, enough to stay knowing I'll never be your person, enough to be your friend when it's killing me, enough to wish you a love that's legendary with someone you love back.

ephemeral
you didn't plant roses in my mind.
you didn't cultivate a garden of the most exquisite flowers
in the saddest parts of me.
---
but you planted chrysanthemums there-
less common and striking, but known for their endurance.
but you slowly tended to all the weeds,
pulling them out one by one.
---
but you made sure that even after you were gone,
I'd be able to take care of myself.
with or without you.
this is old, but I stumbled upon it and I really like it. how do you guys interpret this?
