A Tragic Heart

A Tragic Heart

A Poem by Lovecraft
"

A theme of Love and how it can be strange.

"
Never quite knew how to tell you how I felt about you,
Never quite knew how I actually did feel about you.

Thinking I loved you was never a mistake, but
It wasn't ever really true, right?

I'm not in love with you, it is ephemeral,
Like a mist that swiftly overtakes you and
Disappears. 

My hands are empty, 
My scars are invisible,
Unseen by you and I.

It is my Tragic Heart, unknown to you...

I liked this poem a lot.
"I'm not in love with you, it is ephemeral,
Like a mist that swiftly overtakes you and
Disappears. "
The above lines are classical. Something we need and we don't know why? Thank you Lovecraft for sharing the excellent poetry.

The way you articulated this, in the back and forth metaphorical laments and questionings... Really was on point. Excellent work. Sometimes the best things we can write are quickly-penned in haste, then later reformed for taste.

Thanks, dude. :)
It's a difficult thing to navigate, Love.
The tragedy is when there is love on both sides but only one that fearless while the other fights or hides it. For whatever reason...

i think that is true for most people
An unheard love letter....epic! I'm partial at
the moment to a writer and her muse or vice versa...it's simple and knowing!

I muse from the world's light and dark. It's intense at times and silent at others.
