Is it just me, or is everything regarding love unbearably intense? No matter which end of its spectrum you take a look at, you're left in a daze Whether dealing with crippling heartbreak or a rush of sweet endearment, it's up to you to find a way through the labyrinth. There's just so much emotion that can course through yourveins, yourmind yourheartandsoul it's hard to grasp the reality of the concept that gravity is ever present but still every single one of us falls. And yet we embrace it. This love that we find and manage to scrounge up into existence and for some unknown reason hope that it's reciprocated because what is love if we are not loved? With love, it's not common that you see someone unconditionally loving another without wishing wanting dreaming hoping that they love them in return but in many cases the hope is all for naught. Even in the midst of dangerous waves of rejection, we force ourselves to believe that somehow, some day our efforts will be successful that we will find theone, that special someone with whom we can spend the rest of our days with. The fact that we all feel incomplete and struggle about in the darkness without some form of it, that our structure our frame of consciousness has no stability without it, the fact of the matter is that it could very well be the epicenter of everything we do and that to me is so incredibly intense. We force ourselves to believe that it will all be worth it. Because it is worth it. Love is worth the intensity, whether I can grasp that concept or not.
I didn't realize until after I finished writing this that at one specific point the poem looks as if it's dangling on a thread...huh. Kind of like love...
