never will learn

Grab my heart and don't

forget to squeeze

One of the loneliest things in the world is what people called The Tenere Tree.

A lonely, lonely tree that sits in the middle of an empty desert.

Some days I feel as alone as that simple, surviving tree.

The tree and I have at least one thing in common.

Loneliness.

It's not that it's the end of the world that I feel lonely. As far as I'm concerned, it's a completely normal and recurring experience for me.

The ground shakes beneath my feet when I feel like the tight-rope I walk on is about to snap.

Shaken, broken, and remember; not broken.

When alone, it feels like my heart is being ripped like muscles after a hard workout. Muscles heal, true, but I learn not to work out as hard as I did before.

It's like I never learn after hard relationships. My heart just rips, and rips until the stitches that once were sewn into my heart are completely separated.
