I'm never surprised by betrayal. i'm surprised by genuine love. Betrayal is like...well you're just like everyone else, and it's pretty easy to find the likes of you everywhere!
Genuine love is inspiring and more rare,
...more surprising.

put down the world, soldier mine. your body is strong, i know, but you are not granite. your shoulders were not made to bend so steep. your knees were not made to buckle so low. your bones were not made to hold so much. Atlas was a condemnation, not a guidebook on how to bear the weight of the world.
rest your wings, soldier mine. you were made to fly, i know, but not like this. the sun above is not meant to be your seduction. the ocean below is not meant to be your enemy. the jetstream is not meant to be your companion. Icarus was a warning, not a challenge to see how high you can soar.
lay down your weapons, soldier mine. you fight so well, i know, but not every battle is yours. your fists are not damned to be perpetual weapons. your scars are not damned to mark you in disgrace. your blood is not damned to spill upon a sword. Achilles was a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual on how to fight to your death.
soldier mine, you are not Atlas nor Icarus nor Achilles.
you are only you, soldier mine, and i am only yours, and we are only this here now.

They don’t want us to struggle but then get mad when we aren’t struggling like they did.

I want to read all your poems and drink your words till they flavor my mouth with the taste of you. I want to get drunk on the splendor of your essence and color my lips with your fragrance.

A healing stage is disgust. Yes, disgust.
You will be disgusted by the people whose love you sought. You will be embarrassed about the choices you made and the people who had access to you who didn't deserve it. And this is one of those things that helps you the most to move on because now you know ...like really KNOW... that you need to do better for yourself.
Feel this feeling and let it go. That will never be you again.

Hold me close, tight to your chest, leave no room for regret..
Kiss me soft, let the taste of your ruby lips be something I’ll never forget..
Look into my eyes, stare into my soul, search my every memory if you dare..
I promise you, my darling, with absolute certainty, that you’ll find you’re everywhere.
