I know now that I am way down on your line

We learn to acquiesce even if it hurts
because we relied upon one thing for so long
and so much
to save us from ourselves
then you realise there is no one in this world
that can match your intensity
your passion
your bravery
your soul
which often leads us to disappointments
that never heal over time
battling embittered hearts
swaying branches over scorched earth
because loving someone
is all you cared to learn
all you dared to hope
all you risked to surrender
leaving you with only the taste
of ashes in your mouth
unlovable
until the end of summer
undesirable
at the beginning of autumn
unemployable
until the end of winter
when all these longings subside
ineffable
until the end of time
