“This lives in my knuckles. It breathes in my broken. It eats in my ache. It never leaves. I tried to bury it. God knows I did, but I guess these bones are not so barren. This is a weed that has taken root in my bloodstream. I will drown it in poison and hope that the rest of me survives.”
— Poison, V.P.

“Always worth it to have tried, even if you fail, even if you fall like a meteor forever. Better to have flamed in the darkness, to have inspired others, to have lived, than to have sat in the darkness, cursing the people who borrowed, but did not return, your candle.”
— Neil Gaiman

Love is an illusion.
A makeshift forever in a world
dominated by passing seconds
and half-hearted second chances.
It is perfection among flaws,
turning flaws into perfection,
convincing yourself that you wouldn’t want
to change a thing
like you are in some stasis
like you could live without moving
as long as you have this person
by your side.
Love makes problems disappear
it is a universal carpet for us to brush things under
it is an invisible remedy to all ailments
nothing tastes better than knowing
that you are wanted
that even if the world is against you
your heart is guarded by a magician’s hand.
Love is something we want to believe in
a concept we put our faith in
it has its skeptics but even they wish
for its reality
and all the while
every lover is conscious of its tricks
in the back of their mind
but even so they let themselves
see what they want to see
and feel what they want to feel
because even if it isn’t real
love tastes like magic,
my God, love is magic
and who cares if it’s only a
temporary show,
the important thing is that it is here
and we are wise enough to be fools.
