How can one feel nostalgic
With no knowledge on what to feel nostalgic about
I let nostalgia and emptiness intertwine
The lack of physical and emotional connection is detrimental for one’s soul
Meaningless ***
Money and drugs
One can continuously try to fill the void they experience
But we’re human
We all thrive off the feeling of need and importance
Who doesn’t like feeling wanted and loved
The moment two souls become one
Spiritually inclined to one another
We desperately try to achieve this through all means
Because of its rarity and true rawness
The vulnerability and nakedness of a body
The purest and most treasured form of flesh
We long for acceptance and connection
But to what cost
Is it worth feeling excruciating pain
For a taste of euphoria
How agonizing is the come down
Of ecstasy
Ecstasy being love of course
And the come down being heartbreak
Are you ready for the come down
When your long lost flame is gone
And your nothingness weighs more than before
Why do you think
People don’t stay alone for long
Why not share that emptiness with another
To avoid feeling it all together
Are you ready for the come down
This game is dangerous
Dating loses its vulnerability
*** becomes one’s way of pouring anger, frustration and sadness into another
A body we could care less about
And ask to leave when we decide
The pleasure isn’t worth it anymore
Because it’s not them
Are you ready for the come down
Our greed will be our detriment
And so will our ignorance
We fail to realize the only love we should be longing for
Is the love towards ourselves
We seek our weaknesses and every ounce of insecurity
The reflection of ourselves is nauseating and unbearable
We see ourselves as frail , unfit to be breathing or alive
We presume our thoughts and feelings  to be wrong, stupid or lack significance
Disgusted
The mind, body and soul overwhelmed
Are you ready for the come down
No, you’re not
And that’s all right
I want to believe there is more to life than everlasting pain and discomfort
That I won’t have to live with the feeling for hollowness for long
And as much as I want to ease those feelings with another soul
I must wait
But until then
I will share parts of myself
Without giving them away
And love myself the way I love you
