    Our Delicate Hearts (Part Two)

    You saw my eyes bore deeply into yours,so you gazed back at your companionship. Slowly you pulled me tighter into you,then with force as I am yours.  You saw that I did not resist you,so you swiftly straddled me.Slowly...

    Our Delicate Hearts

    You saw me waiting for you, so you came to me. Slowly you walked then feathered your body down beside me.   You saw my hand reach for you, so you joined it with yours. Slowly you placed my hand on yourself and...

    Nostalgia can be a double edged sword.It makes you remember old memories or words.Life goes on and the Earth turns. Nostalgia can remind you of good times.Once upon a time, a fairytale.With a princess,dragon and a well. It can really make...

    • That’s a great piece Nick👍

    • This reminds me of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserable. We start out full of hope & sparkle & the world dulls our shine until there’s nothing left. Just bills to pay & the hope we go out on a good note rather than the usual shit. Totally feeling this one

      • The world gets too big I suppose. It’s never enough to stay in your own happiness. The world is designed to take and take. But also the older we get we are hit with reality. Losing people, losing friendships and so on. I think the thing that hurts the most is knowing when those moments are gone they are gone. There will be no other moments like them

        Thanks for the read, friend. Very much appreciate it.

    • Brilliantly penned, Nick. Into the book it belongs! This write has layers my friend, excellent work. Appreciate you.

    • This is the second time I have read this, and I want to think about it. Depression is a strange beast. Not suicidal but not feeling the same. will drop dead doing something you hate. That struck a cord. I used to like the job I do, but too many worms came out of the apple, and now I work. This is my passion. To write and see others do what they love to do.
      Now I’m rambling

      • For me the poem is rather my darkest depression. The world beats you down and some days I feel like I’m just going through the motions. As the poem says I’m not suicidal, but there is comfort in the idea that I choose the way rather than it being something, or somewhere I rather not be.

        Thanks for the read, friend.
