They ended up together again

Their paths weren't so full of pain

Minor setbacks but they got over them

Love is true and sure for all of them

It's amazing how perfectly they change

Together, seldom apart; it's so strange

Their kisses are always electric, full of charge

They fit each other perfectly, neither too small nor too large

Perfect smiles, love-filled hearts

Look at them; How can they ever grow apart?

Because they are living a beautiful fairy tale

Their lives have been planned down to every detail

Because they are scripted by another broken soul

Who gave them the story he wished he could live himself alone

The misery he felt colored papers in heaps

As he tried to pen down everything good he wanted to feel

His every desire, however deep

Went down in those pages; so enchantingly sweet

Because his life wasn't perfect, not even close

Fantasizing was the only way he could cope

And so through that agony came to him a crystal vision of his wants

He embraced them to himself and life was a little less gaunt

Now he sits signing copies of the characters that created

His stories were received by many and they related

A few hundred pages, a few thousand seconds of respite

A few million people, a billion fluttering heartbeats with renewed life

It's exquisite how they're connected together by their parallel wishful desires

His tranquilizing fantasies have birthed what the engineer in him could never wire

He feels his agony sizzle and cease as he watches the smoke in the distance float higher

It occurs to him that maybe it's true that happiness lies beyond a blazing wall of fire.

A/N: Hey! Long time no see? 

So I think I started a draft of this poem sometime between 2019 and 2021 and just found that paper lying about in my drawer today and couldn't resist finishing it. The fact that I am not even sure of the year I started this is really tickling me weirdly lol. 

And guess what? The title took over an hour and a half to come up with. And we had two brains working on this operation. There was a lot of swearing and a lot of crying gifs. At one point I think we even forgot the poem lmao. Hey there @hamiltonian_mechanic ;)

Eh, he's prob still killing me in his mind😂

We discussed so many titles. Carved From Chaos, Forged In Chaos, Evading Chaos, Building Castles On The Ground, Tethering EuphoriaTransmorgifying into Hope, Weaving Hope and so many effing more😭 It almost drove us crazy. It was too much chaos, pun intended.

On a serious note, I am not very happy today. I feel like the last two and a half years of my life have been in vain. I have sacrificed too much and gained too little. I'm way lower than I've been in a while so it's harder to manage. I don't know how to deal with it atm. Maybe I should go and sleep *sigh*

I will be okay.

I hope you are okay too. I love you guys. I'm always here if any one of you wants to talk. My inbox is open for you guys and so are the comments. I go through them all. You are not alone <3

Until next time. Take care.
