That's the thing about love-
It feels so good until it doesn't
It feels so perfect
Until it comes crashing down
Like a wave on a fragile wooden ship,
Wrecking the lost souls of sailors
That's the thing about sadness-
It feels neverending until it stops
It feels so consuming
Until it falls away
Like a butterfly shedding its wings
Breaking free once again
That's the thing about happiness-
It feels everlasting until it dies
It feels beautifully intoxicating
Until it disappears
Like the version of yourself you once knew
Retreating back to the shadows
