Striking

Weird, momentary jealousy 

Of someone’s ability to

Care. As humans, we never

Let down our guard for feeling

Validation

From people we adore. At least, it’s rare.

Yet when it comes to the expression of

Our anger, sadness; 

absurdity just

Overwhelms the mind while catching it amidst

This gaping hole of love.

Caring and truly loving are

The hard work of the heart,

Vacation of the mind.

Adding up missteps, and filling in the blanks.

 

Being loved is one beautiful thing. However,

Loving somebody is

A strikingly unalike endeavour.

Sentencing your mind to life. In prison 

Of the moment.

Counting small leaves on trees,

Observing movements,

And hearing music all around.
