So I suppose my simple advice is: Love your life. I only say that because your life is what you have to give.
-Tom Hiddleston




Life settles



I yearn to be lonely with another



But it would not be genuine



Excruciating pain



Disguised by silent stillness



I cannot cry anymore



If I pull one string from my eye



All the yarn will unravel



And fall into my lap



Does love truly exist?



Or is it all shallow,



Like an empty flower pot?



It's like he said



After Ken Burns



And before the clay sculpture



From this earthly torment



Comes heavenly beauty



Your tears are salty diamonds



You cannot hold an ocean within



It must spill out in unmasked truth



Raw and delicate



And soon you will remember



How stars dawn



And winged creatures sing



And you are not alone
