What is love? A mere conception; a psychological distortion to mental stability. This venomous snake we call love tightens its slithering body around my ability to be mentally acute. I am dead. Unrequited love murdered me until I was nothing but an iota of black nothingness- and I allowed it. I wish to be hollow and apathetic. Feeling is destructive; Feeling consumes me under immobile stillness- a stillness morbidly magnetic, for it attracts weak souls as my own and I am no longer who I desire to be. I am a dark figure sliding by oneβs peripherals- that is me and all I am capable of becoming. Perhaps if love favored my poor delicate soul, I would be alive and well. Perhaps if love favored my foolish heart, I would be lying next to my beloved in a bed of granted dandelion wishes.
