How can I explain this longing?
I spend days upon days
Hours upon hours
Caring
Caring too deeply
Thinking
Thinking too much
Hoping
Hoping for something more
Falling
I fell too long and too hard
I have a vision of what I need, but reality has continued to push it further away
How can I explain this longing
I spend too long
Caring because I love
Thinking because my thoughts help me cope
Hoping because hope keeps me going
Falling--I do hope I continue to fall
For you
But the longing I cannot explain stays near
I think,
I hope,
I fall over
Longing for someone to care for me

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
