“I Loved You In A Way I Wished Someone Would Love Me.”

archaeology

penance comes in many forms

indistinguishable to a muddled mind

thoughts laced with egregious apathy

perhaps unprepared to weather life’s storms

{}

take heart, young one, look up and breathe

this invisible wonderment is for all that seek

your worth is not derived from gravity or time herself

let your hands dig through soft soil to uncover the seeds underneath

{}

be still, darling, your shell is your own

she will protect and guide you for as long as you roam

treat her kindly, she’s all that you have 

reach up and stretch your skin, you’ve found your backbone

Sharon Olds, from "Something Is Happening", One Secret Thing: Poems

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.” – Capt. Jean-Luc Picard | 507x507

“Do you like me for me Or is it just cause you’re lonely And you like a pretty face?”

— It’s a simple question, really (N.G. 4/5/2018)

Sometimes you love someone so silently that even your heart doesn’t know how deep is that love.

knockout!
