unrequited as always.
you told me not to cry, because i was better than that, because i was strong. in reality i loved you like i love the moon, everlasting and unwavering, and i could never bring myself to take my eyes away from your bright personage, you beautiful enigma. you speak to me with lips that do not move, in long, mute words echoing across the raging sea, but i seem to hear it all, i hear it all. and i cry as your numb fingers stroke my neck, stroke my spine.
(damn the word love, why did i have to fall in love with you? you who could never love me back, never in a million years, not even for the 4.6 billion years the earth has been alive, and i stupidly dug my fingernails into my palms, clenching my teeth, drowning for eternity.)
