Where have you been,
My long lost love?
Has anyone seen
My long lost love?
I long to know your state,
My long lost love.
And to find your estate,
My long lost love.
We were once united,
Bound in love
Ecstatic, excited.
A life now unheard of
I awake aghast, affrighted.
Awaiting a letter from you
Blown in by the breeze.
Far between and few
Are the days of pleasant ease.
My long lost love
I sorely miss our affinity.
And I sorely miss you,
My long lost love,
Creativity.
Before you get caught up in the rapture of romance,
Remember that the origin of every devastating heartbreak is beautiful.
The tragedy of naivety.
The calamity of familiarity.
This warning I submit to you,
Gatsby.
Abandoned.
Engulfed in the empty black of deep space.
Drifting.
Slowly drifting.
Breaking.
Swiftly breaking.
Perpetually. Due to the last seen face…
… He saw a black hole in her eyes.
Her name was…
Resistant.
She was opposed, obstinately feeling…
He was shattered to the core, each shard constantly peeling.
His heart was snatched from his chest, thrown to jackals,
How could it come to this? He was wholly baffled.
The love that would never end became the lie that would never end.
The love that would always be became the love that never was.
The everlasting pain marinating his entire being, till the steam of anguish seared the inner of his eyes. Causing them to pour forth sorrow; salty, bitter sorrow for him to eat.
He ate nothing else but the sorrow which he brewed.
He despaired of life, until…
He saw the face of death.
(To be continued…)
Their love continued.
Shining gloriously–not like the sunlight beaming through a stained-glass masterpiece, but–as though the sun itself were enveloped in stained-glass.
They were inseparable.
Their hands interweaved like the strands of the most symmetrically crafted royal garment. Golden, the strands. For when their hands meshed it was as though they fused into one effulgent organism of affection. Generating waves of love.
Their hearts were intertwined.
They danced on the rising horizon. They slumbered on the sunset. They kissed the stars, between each other’s lips. They held the summer’s warmth, within their embrace.
He saw the sunshine in her smile.
He saw starlight in her eyes.
Until…
A new acquaintance entered their lives. A villain of indifference. His name was…
Distance.
The summer’s warmth he once knew soon became the chill of early autumn. The hand he held became a key, hidden in a repository of antiquity. Her voice, once a spectrum of color, became like the dullest gray.
He saw dark night in her eyes.
His world collapsed.
… Falling and never crashing, in the infinite emptiness of cold space.
Then, like a dauntless archer, she relentlessly struck him to the heart. And the impact resounded unbounded in his realm of existence…
Never ending…
The sound of one word…
“… Anymore.”
(To be continued…)
He saw starlight in her eyes.
All he had known prior was the anguish of isolation and loneliness. His youth was a constant gauntlet of rejection. A heavy heart beat in his chest pumping caustic fluid, scorning his mind. Flowing into his tear ducts, causing him to cry acidic tears. Leaving scars that penetrate like erosion in his flesh, deeper with each tear; carving his own paths of pain. Until…
He saw the sunshine in her smile.
Her name was…
Dream.
She was the hope he’d held, come to life. He gazed into her pupils, as though they were gateways to another dimension. A dimension where they two only existed. With galaxies in arms’ reach, on an island amidst a nebula. Her skin smooth, radiant as pure gold shimmering in the light of high noon. Her hair like fine silk flowing like a glorious cascade…
Her presence consoled him.
They met like two lovers destined for bliss, whose fate was inscribed in a timeless novel. He saw the part of him he had been missing when he saw her; and she saw the same in him.
And so their love began. A love so pure that they were cleansed of all mischief and vice. So rich that they would never lack any substance of holistic companionship and intimacy.
Or so they thought.
It all began when…
He saw starlight in her eyes.
