Format by destabilise. You were my sea so I named you the captain of my ship. You were my sun so I let you have your way with me and watch me tip and tumble on the warm earth you gave to me. I always knew you’d never sway me in the wrong direction. That you’d never steer me off course. Except one day, the waves turned their back on me and the current pushed me aside. The sun turned its head like it already knew what was about to happen. I cried out your name. I told you to put down the anchor. But, you were silent. And I breathed in your salty clenched fists. You watched me drown in the only place I called home. You watched my love for you die with the rest of my bones. — YOU WERE MY SEA BUT YOU LET ME DROWN
it's okay to be hopeful, our hope is not stupidity, it is courage. Because it takes strength to listen to your heart with the risk of it being broken, but it is the way others mistake your openness for weakness that leads to hurt and pain. They mistake your vulnerability for desperation. Because if we are vulnerable, honest, or god forbid, express ourselves in a way that corresponds to exactly how we feel, we are too much. We are overdoing it, trying too hard, getting too attached. We are desperate for love. But following your heart doesn’t make you desperate for love, it makes you open to finding it.
