Desire, is a sin.
Selfishness is desire.
Wanting something for yourself is selfishness.
And love is something given.
Something taken.
Something beautiful.
Although it has an infinite number of pros, love has the equal amount of cons, if not more.
It leads to tragic, uncontrollable emotions.
It leads to, me.
~~
It's May already.
I sit on my back porch.
In the same chair you picked every time you'd come over.
I pleaded mom not to change a thing in the house.
She abided if it would make me happy.
The air is cool.
Today is just like the day I bumped into you.
Today is fresh, and even though I can't see, I can smell the nectar of the flowers beginning to bloom.
Mom had roses in the backyard.
A garden full of flowers, beautiful they were. But just like humans, flowers can be horrifyingly evil.
Everything seemed darker after you left.
You were the one who gave illumination to my world. And now it's all gone.
Dearly Beloved, I've always wondered if you are looking down at me. Are you thinking, I wish I was there Ezzy. I wish I could wipe away your tears and tell you how much I love you.
~~
I've thought about giving up. More than once to be honest. But faith has kept me alive. Hope. And believe it or not, love.
~~
Your memory will linger on me for a millennium.
Wether I'm with you or not.
The dark hole within me will never fill up.
The hole you left with your departure.
The pain.
Everything.
~~
A tear spills out involuntarily. Something stops it.
I question it and bring my hand up to my cheek.
My hand lands on top of another.
I flinch. Who is it? Mom? Dad?
Why are you crying Ezzy?
~~
