The Thoughts & Feelings I Want You to Know.

it was never going to easy.

unrequited love,

like a thorn

of a rose, 

pierces

through my heart.

unwilling 

to remove

because of the pain 

that comes with

creating 

a wound.

unwilling

to just forget

because of the pain

that comes with

leaving it

unattended. 

but then i realize 

that 

there will be scarring

either way,

that 

it will hurt 

so disproportionately

at first ,

that 

it will not

disappear overtime,

but merely

decrease in impact

until 

its existence

merely exists—

until 

its existence

is accepted

as only 

a part of me

and not 

all of me.
