Stars I can not hold ✨

a short poem devoted to the unattainable nature of love <3

*Play this before you start reading loves!*

Love

a fabricated inscription to the tendency of our emotions

inflicting instability amongst our feelings

times of laughter,

times of happiness,

times of despair.

forever encapsulated in an intangible sense of longing

holding onto a false sense of security

causing the ongoing waves of confusion in my visage of thoughts,

as i picture what love looks like to me

the idealised nature of it fails to set me free

the x on a treasure map

the end of the road

the final destination

but it’s just a star in the sky, physically unreachable by chance so i carry on,

more of a journey than an endpoint.

so I look past this feeling

blossom in the sun’s warmth despite harsh realities

try to see love in the little things

create my own stars that glisten with each touch

because as the detriments of life try to consume me

i for myself decide, what love is meant to be.
