“I understand. That’s the trouble. I understand. I’ll understand all the time. All day and all night. Especially all night. I’ll understand. You don’t have to worry about that.”
— Ernest Hemingway

You know what? You deserve some love. Like, lots of it. Soooo here you go! (。・ω・。)ノ♡
Take some!
"I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself."
– Franz Kafka
[Up & At 'Em, A Haiku]
Stand, straightening bones
Stretch, cough, shake my dream dust coat
New day to make most.

i know,
that you didnt wanna try,
that you were tired,
that you were dying.
tell me sweetheart,
what is it that keeps you alive ?
is it
l o v e
or
r e g r e t ?
Writing and rewriting the same lines,
Over and over again,
Thinking, That’s awful, this is awful, why can’t you write something good for once.
For once? Something good for once?
If it’s as awful as you’re saying it is,
Why do(es) literally everybody you know who you show it to,
And even people you “know” superficially via social media and one shared interest,
Praise it constantly?
And why do even the most unpolished of first drafts receive that same praise?
Maybe you’re actually a decent author & poet?
Ever think of that?

finally i had put my walls up,
after it was shattered by millions
And there you go again,
breaking them like it was nothing,
and leaving me in pieces,
again.
"...And you, what would you do for Love?"
Forgive.
