Heart's Not Breaking

I was having one of my many moments where I stop and medititate on my inward self. Who I am. What I know. Where I've been. Where I'm going. What I've learned. I wrote about love because I've learned the most from it.





Love is such a strange thing.
It opens your eyes to new possibilities
But it closes them to some realities.
It changes the way you see things.
It alters your judgement.
It makes you look past flaws
And not want to change their imperfections.
It's an unquenchable fire.
A persistant need.
It's like a natural high.
It makes you do some crazy things.
You love being around them.
You light up just at the thought of them.
And when they're not with you,
Knowing you'll see them is what keeps you going.
It makes you excited to get up in the mornings.
But if you lose them
It's like getting your soul ripped out.
They're both the best and worst things
That've ever happened to you.
It leaves you with an aching gap.
A hole in your heart.
It's like being lit on fire
And trying to hide it.
An axe in your head
But saying you're okay.
Sometimes you have to just hold back the tears,
Smile, and pretend like your heart's not breaking
