Now it's all my heart wants to hear.

“I never knew that love had a sound, until I heard you laugh.”

— I love you -T D. (vaitiolo)

Toxic is when they can't let you go, but can't treat you right either.

Un

Head up, Eyes open, I — Marvel at the Sky; see the trees, colorized In this dreamscape called life. I walk on, I do not feel The slashing of the rain, While it tries to become Snow, or hail, all the while… fails, And becomes rain again. I do not feel Bitterness, nor dejection, or repulsion Toward the cold. I walk on Without hesitation. Sometimes I see the people, Lurching; frowning, grimacing, And I understand the world has become Ugly again. I, too, see the rot and death. But I cannot feel It. I do not feel. I can not feel A thing, save The appreciation for the Nothingnesses that became my everything. And, I know, I should be so glad To walk without you Coursing through my veins; to walk without A want in my heart; in Just this moment, Without any concept of past, or future; glad For the silence and peace and painlessness That solidifies unbrokenness, But I do not Dream anymore, either, And if I would, I know it Would be you, I miss, Like a limb, or a sense Of completion.

A longing that will never fade.

there is a peace beyond anything I've ever known. a peace only found in your fingertips, in your embrace, in your smell, as fleeting as the passing moment.

"Your unforgettable name"

Deep in my heart You name is engraved and I long for you You set fire to my heart In my heart,you ignited the inextinguishable flame of love Before your name can be forgotten I long for you again Even at the moment of death I shall call out your name Even as I am living My heart longs for you Until the moment of death I'll long for you....

When your hands are warmed in mine, are you a peasant on a cold night or a satiated king?

Again

As dust, Scintillating, and with eyes Older than the world, I suppose, one would look kinder To the Ever-change in Ever-flow.

In time, such a Triviality, shapes must seem Far less distinguishable. Motion blurred, Yet vibrant at every pulse: life, Against the backdrop of death; The heartbeat Of Ever after.

There would be nothing to cling onto, Yet, I would, to behold perpetuity's spectacle With astonishing joy.

I would be waiting, there, Without a sense of grasping to which extent; Without a care, and then, Held together as some form By a determination only known To my soul.

I would wait to see You Once more crash and burn Right through this atmospheric blur, And I believe you will then glimpse your light Like a constellation's Long lost star.

But I would remember who you are.

I would follow, then, forget all I had seen, And all the joy and peace eternity brings To be flesh again; to be Messy, fallible: Human.

I would choose Eyes, young enough To need readjusting to the light; That count the hours in losses, and thereby Suffer.

I would return to the maw That will grind me up and spit me out, again, Because I do not belong Here, where I am.

And, Perhaps, I'll do this all, Merely to break Before I disintegrate, again.

Yet I will do this all, Again,

To have One more chance.

Feeling safe in someone's energy is a different type of intimacy. That peace of mind and security is very underrated and I cannot emphasize this enough.

Look at you, Wiping your own tears With the same hands That long to be held
