Maybe it’s the rational
trying to solve emotions
or is it the lack of experience?
Why must feelings hold
such intensity that it’s disorienting?
A single misstep in the sand
and the tide is dragging you under.
☀
Love… an ethereal concept
painted in vivid colors
against the gray of life’s background.
So eager to chase the elusive
idea of true love that the fall
hurts every time.
☼
Movies, songs, stories… fiction.
Love is more than pretty words
strung together to create
“Happily ever after.”
Fear, pain, broken pieces,
Warmth, comfort, connection,
the mundane and the fantastic.
Everything and more, that is love.
☾
Is that why I jump head first,
falling so quickly?
Locked in my stone tower
craving the enrichment of
the everything that’s created
from this feeling, love?
ღ
Sadly all that’s been received
were negative repercussions,
scars that slowly close
the gates of the heart…
Will you be different?
About the Creator
A. Nguyen
A writer at heart who wants to share my works. I want to evoke emotion in people when they read my writing but I won't ever know if I can, if I don't put anything out into the world so this is my first step :)
Trauma Carnival
I have unpopular opinions on one of my old favorites, The L Word. First is: Jenny is my favorite character. Second: The show was originally about Jenny, her trauma, her broken identity and the way her sexuality was explored as an awakening that brought up many memories of childhood abuse.
