I wonder if our lives were intertwined Deep in other, alternate universes.

I know, for sure, that amid another life, Your life would have advanced far ahead of mine, Whilst I lay prone on the seabed as mere ash.

In another universe, we didn't meet.

And in many other lives, we would have met. Whether we turned out to be enemies or, Best friends, just as is in this life of ours, Deep in other, alternate universes, I pray that we are intertwined as deeply.

I have. I have. I have.

“there isn’t much that scares me more than my own heart, a monster of tenderness if there ever was such a thing. it sounds strange, but I have an irrational fear that one day I’ll wake up to find it (it being my heart) perched at the foot of my bed in a cloud of desperation, begging to be torn apart and consumed in the name of compassion. and that’s incredibly terrifying for a few different reasons, but mainly because I’d do it. I’ve never needed an excuse to sacrifice myself for love; I’m a martyr for everything soft. I confess to you: I’d bleed for anything if it held me the right way. I confess: I have. I have. I have.”

Leila Chatti, "Postcard from Gone"

It took me a long time to realize that I want to be mysterious because I’m attracted to mysterious men. But mysteries need detectives, right? Maybe I’m not over sharing I’m just… sleuthing?

Sometimes I lose my appetite

and I don't realise it

until I'm still hungry

after eating

and realise I only filled

half my plate.

but I don't take a second helping

and then I recall

how bad today has been.

even food cannot fill

the lonely hours I spent

in a room full of people

not a single one touched my soul.
