Oof! This lands hard
But… but… but…
Maybe they’re scared
Maybe they’re busy
Maybe they’re overwhelmed with big feelings
Maybe they’re just not that into you
Maybe you’ve been kidding yourself
Maybe you mistook emotional unavailability for confidence and mystery
The dopamine hit your nervous system is wired for
Maybe you settled for close enough
Because the loneliness felt bitter
Maybe you hoped they’d finally show up
Unarmored, vulnerable
If you just waited longer
Gave more
Gave it all
The thrill of the chase
Intoxicating
Familiar
A fine distraction from the shadow work you’d rather avoid
A beautiful dream
Unrequited connection
Can true love exist in a one-sided paradox?
The illusion of safety
Shut-down disguised as strength
Evasiveness disguised as busyness
Avoidance disguised as independence
A side option disguised as friendship
The triangulation you never agreed to
The exit strategy you ignored
Just a figment of your imagination
The feelings you swallowed because you learned not to trust them
Your overthinking mind and oversensitive heart Wounded by indifference
And a careless hand
Withdrawal and armouring
The only safe harbour
Once again moored in heartbreak
Christening her Se faire avoir
The real tragedy is hope
Designed to keep you hooked
The promise of love
Dispensed sporadically
In meagre portions
Inspires craving
But never satiates
A mirage of water
Only to find it’s sand
You drink it anyway
Because you don’t recognise the difference
A deep thirst quenched
By the illusion of love
Such a silly child
With the broken heart behind a beautiful smile
And a brave spirit
Love is all around you
Unconditionally
Infinitely
Abundantly
You need never hustle for it
For it is your birthright
You only need to let down your armour
And let it flow through you
You are safe
You are loved
You are supported
By a force much bigger than dreamt of in your imagination
It resides within you
Untouchable by those who wish to diminish it
You are your own true love
Always and forever ❤️
