Heartsick girlie

[autumnsunshine10]

Arrhythmia

Wasted so much damn time

On shackling sentimentality

Breathing in pollutants, irritants

Paying attention to the oblivious

What never pays attention to me

A lottery ticket scratched off too late

Tangled up in fate, so tempting

Attempting not to revert to hate

For myself...I still am worthy of love

At least I use that as a consolation

When the darkness closes in

And I must begin to remend

To fend and fight for every breath

Shaky yet still inhaling/exhaling

Dreams have deserted yet

Something solid is prevailing

Death isn't on the doorstep

If I go down it's teeth and nails

Scrapes and scratches calling card

God it's hard learning to live

To find yourself again

After the heart fails

Prompts: learning to live; paying attention

I’m in love w you and I’m gonna make that your biggest problem

Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt empty and hollow and aching.

// Gabriel García Márquez

Subdue

I am tired of my thoughts circulating on repeat

Of attributing a deeper meaning to any of it

I’m in pain because it hurts

I cry because I’m sad

I miss you because you’re gone

Let that be enough

.

This next chapter will be chaos

I don’t need to make sense of it

Hope has often made way for disappointment

You left because you wanted to

& I wish you the best because I love you

Let that be enough

.

I am scared of this unknown future

I’ve been trying to do heartbreak correctly

& it feels like draining my own blood

I want to live through this

Without quantifying my selfishness

Let that be enough.

crazy how someone can go from feeling like a safe place to a stranger in the blink of an eye.

A blank check of sorts for your “Song Writing” ask:

https://youtu.be/2bLDIfh22uM

Let me start by apologizing

For all the things I almost said

Choked down and drowned

In tears--so much you might have known

But I found not worth the words

The heart is an untamed beast after all

Craving careless of convention or convenience

I could've spilled my guts and for what?

You never needed my heartsick serenade

Piled on your already packed plate

Calendar crammed, other dates to keep

Hands full and never meant to be

Filled with (feeling around for) me

I got lost in feelings futile

Full of longing most fruitless

I failed myself

Now I flail miserably

For the beast awakened

Sleeps not easily nor tight

Sedation sounding

Most seductive

One last kiss

Goodnight

Then she was his chosen love: ay, she was; though it had not been declared. Now?—A pang, as of death, shot through her bitter heart.

[lovebasement]

Inside my skull there is a little heart rotating around. That is all

[lavenderviolin]

How could I ever describe you?

You touch me and I feel it in my soul;

Deep, deep down inside my chest -

It makes my heart threaten to explode.

You feel like the start of summer.

New life bursting up all around me,

Your warmth and beauty a relief

After the longest winter of my life.

You feel like a cold mountain stream.

You touch my skin lightly and I shiver,

blood pumping through every vein,

Making me feel alive and new again.

You feel like all my hopes and dreams.

Everything I've ever wanted come true.

But I'm afraid that if I kiss your lips,

I'll wake up, and the feeling of you will fade.

Only a memory.

Only a shadow.

Only a dream.

Please touch me here, like this, forever.

Hold on tight and never let me go.

And even if this is only a dream,

Let me exist in it with you a while longer -

Before I must forget.

~LV

nothing much, just obsessively pining for you at 4:30 in the morning even though you'll never love me, same old same old
