Love? Love is easy-it's like a walk in the park.
Except the park is on fire
And the ground is on fire. And the grass is on fire. And freakin' everything else is on fire. And the sky is black with smoke and you're weak-kneed and you can't breathe.
But you keep going anyway, you keep riding that bike. Because outside that park, it's cold. And you think the fire keeps you warm.

What you never asked
"I pretend I never loved you I will pretend it was never the easiest thing to do I will pretend that I'm over it Pretend I am over you But no one has a fucking clue And I'll throw my popcorn away. Hide my face. Wipe away my tears. I wasn't special enough And that is alright by me." ------------------------ At this point this collection of poems is almost like a diary. I always hated poetry. I like people who are direct and honest. And that's how I prefer literature. I believed myself to be bad at double meanings and metaphors and hated pretty words to cover up the ugly reality. Yet, I found myself being fascinated by it. I think it's the most vulnerable side of me. Wanting to communicate through a medium I think little of and yet understands me. It has no structure. It can be messy and yet beautiful. It's allowed to be unpolished. Wrong quotations. Or even lacking any. At this point in my life I feel like everything I thought was right to be wrong and so maybe something wrong could be right. You haven't even asked for this. And still you know it now.

Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete

A Girl's Love
" A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind. " Life is filled with uncertainty, confusion, perplexity, but above all, unpredictability. I've always believed these words to be true, but in all honesty I never felt I truly comprehended their essence. However, that exact comprehension is key to understanding anything in life. And it was time I learned that basic lesson. I never thought things would end up like this. I never thought that my heart would ever feel so divided between two people, precisely because I never thought that love was a divisible value. I needed, and maybe I still do, to believe in the natural process, the classical interpretation of love ; where you meet the one, and things flow from there in the most calm way one can ever think of. But it hasn't been like that for me. I tried to stop it, I tried to reason everything and find some sense into the whole mess that was created. And I failed. Because the heart wants what it wants.Complete
Feeling blue
"Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered. Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered. Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered. Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered. Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered. Lonely. Hurt. Broken. Shattered.

Shattered... it's always the same damn cycle" That's all she feels... except for with him. The sunshine boy who's not afraid of her darkness. "Talk to me baby, I'm here. I've got you."

Stories tell you about girls who play with fire and come out unscathed. They tell you about girls who play with fire and end up falling in love with it. Thinking about it always made me laugh. Oh, how nice it would be if all that were true. Because fire isn't something you could hold in your arms and dance with. It's not your lover. It's not something that can be loved. I'll tell you what the stories forget to mention. I'll tell you what really happens when you play with fire. Girls play with fire because it's been so long since they've felt something. Girls play with fire because once you touch it, you can't let go. Girls play with fire and in the end, all they can do is burn, burn, and burn.Complete
