Journal Entry: Day 7: We’re so young. June 15, 2010

So young to be in love

Song: Cold �" Crossfade

Mood: Frustrated/Calm

 

“What if I’m not the hero?” Hero… Such thing is subject of fantasies, yet we all need one, or so say the cries in our deepest existence. I am not a hero… Why must souls continue to believe so? Why must my every footstep be the feed to the magnet my mere presence has created? Why come to me if all I have to offer is poison? Yet one clever soul suggested for me to execute all that was good in my existence, to eliminate all the benign souls, and to banish all love… I replied that I could not destroy what I loved, by which he replied: “Then you’re not that bad after all.” But why must I be good if I feel it not?

Hear, O’ hear dear souls… I possess not a soul for I am hollow. My lips drip decay in the veil of grace… A clever soul told me I do possess a soul, but I see no truth to that. Why must I be to the chains bound? Why for the sake of love must I taste the dust on the ground? In total isolation I hear no sound… Why must love crumble before my feet? Yet it comes back and never accepts defeat… And here I tear, burn, and write on every sheet. I met a precious and beautiful soul, and her always simple but bold reply was something I now contemplate: “Perhaps you are too young for love, Odd One.”

Reviews

[Coyote Poetry]

Love is a never ending education. Took me many years to learn the rules. Never leave in a bad situation. Never say words that will bite you in the a*s. Age is just a number. I know people who found each other at sixteen. Still loving each other like kids 36 years later. It maybe luck. But I believe takes two people to hold on tight and appreciate each other. Those looking for more should not be in a relationship. Can't bin a wild animal. if you do. Their spirit will die and nothing will be left. A excellent story. You made me think again.
