Now

I'm not meant for much.

i feel a lot

for life

Dancing around bursts of 

Energy

Fire.

And throw myself into it willingly.

But I know that now is my time

To love.

to love and hate,

But to Love.  

I'll surrender eventually

But for now, I must go on

As your silent presence distracts

Say something or shut up.

I cannot write a story when I know that everything I feel is already out there!

Because as soon as 

I meet you,

Just forget it.

This artistic routine is a deliciously

Convincing Substitute

I'm meant to love you. 

I don't even know you and I'm already nothing without you.

Still

nothing without you. 

I'm meant to love you.

I like this, like it alot actually. The "I cannot write a story when..." line is my favorite......who hasn't felt that?.....good stuff!

This is really well written. It has a realistic, almost obsessive-like quality about it.

very nice piece!! you choose words carefully giving it a very phonetic feel - "the artistic routine is a deliciously convincing substitute" - just begs to be read aloud!! also love the almost dreamy aura to the words, reminds me of someone sitting staring out the window on a rainy day jotting down thoughts of life and past and anything!! nice!

It is sort of unfair, isn't it? The knowing and being withheld from your destiny. Waiting for the stars to align, waiting for the signs, waiting for the right damn moment to say how you feel and risk losing all. Life is such a complicated uncontrollable mess. Love being the dirtiest part, the closet stuffed full for years. Is it even worth it to try sorting through pile of past loves-and-losts, the broken pieces you didn't want to throw out, but weren't sure how to fix?

I love the layout of this. I love the word choices. I love the emotion. You've nailed it. And nailing "life" is pretty hard to do. You'll get what you're meant for, but in the meantime, keep up this "convincing substitute", because I AM convinced you are going to be great at formulating the emotions that myself and countless others have been trying to communicate for years.
