 "Disappointment"

5/28/2015

Comments

 
Daring to describe the futility of dating in terms of poor fishing and unsavory weather.
Picture
-You are no better than who you lay with
-Pity most do not seem to understand this
-Ultimately, it becomes just another disappointment
-For which there is no ointment or cure
-Save for a heart or mind willing to work with, not fight against, the lure
-You catch, put it back, catch, put it back
-Close inspections, key decisions, all to brief
-Time helps decide which is or was worth the keep
-How long can we endure the ones that break, faint, swim away?
-We try a new cast, a new location
-We change pieces of bait, change parts of ourselves
-Is it luck?
-Why do we even give a fuck?
-So much doubt, so many routes
-We fish because we desire sustenance
-Fuel our soul, spiritually grow
-Let go, release, breathe
-It’s out of our hands if and when we receive
-A blessing? A lesson?
-How long do we maintain a levy with flood waters ever so heavy?
-Fear of failing, buckling
-Fear of washing away, crumbling
-Losing the components that build the foundation, once a proud formation
-Forcing everything on a course we know not what destination, raging current, no direction
-Floating away as debris, a life without density
-No tangible meaning, barely reason to continue struggling
-Reflecting on what we possess and what is absent
-Thinking we know but we don’t
-Believing we will but we won’t

 "Scared"

We evaluate a situation based on each of its elements and  gather as much information as possible before  committing to a decision. We do the best with what we have at the time. Young relationships vibrant with potential seem fit to fall in this process. 
- I want to…
- Hold you, touch you, love you
- Lay beside to you, feel your warmth
- Fall asleep to the sound of your heart beating
- I never say it, but in you I see potential, deeper meaning
- A different perspective, changing me, breathing new life in me
- But I’m sacared…
- To surrender all that is left of me
- To entrust my soul into someone new
- Some relationships you can’t simply undo
- Some bonds seem innocent but underneath are fake
- With high stakes there’s benefit, but there's also profound sadness
- Discovery of something very tragic
- Falling in love is like giving into madness
- Running in a circle, losing traction
- The opposite of playing safe and thinking clear
- Words fall from ears, and emotions overwhelm from the outside-in
- Replaying moments, forming memories
- What we wouldn’t give to live a story with a happy ending
- So much risk in a true kiss but to not partake would be undoubtedly remiss
- The same intensity I feel to take you in my arms is the same intensity keeping me from closing the distance
- You're reaching, I see it
- Don’t know if I should grasp it
- Once I take hold, it’s all or none
- I have no in-between, only me, that’s all I know how to be
- Sprung, so right but so wrong
- How do we know where we belong?
- Such a gamble becoming unraveled
- Fighting, and I can hardly stand it
- Evading, and I don’t even like it
- Running, and I have no asthmuth
