Whether or not I love you
isn’t the problem.
I love you more than
you love yourself
and that’s the issue.

Cake
We can’t just dress this cake with
love and expect it to taste good if
the ingredients don’t include respect,
trust, loyalty, honesty, faith, kindness,
affection, communication, understanding…
Love isn’t enough to make us edible.
I want delectable. I want fulfilling.
I want a flavor I can devour.
I want much more than the icing on our cake.
Maybe
Maybe your words weren’t meaningless
Maybe the feelings behind them were just
Unsustainable, temporary, fleeting…
And for sure no longer existent.
Maybe I misinterpreted your beautiful words
Maybe you were merely generalizing
Nonetheless, I was all in.
But maybe it was just me.
Electricity
Our chemistry was palpable
But even with all there was between us
We still didn’t have enough together
We just couldn’t seem to connect
It was like the electricity both
drew us together and kept us apart.
Quotes For The Soul: Fish
Fish in water don’t realize they’re in water until they are gasping for air on land. Much like the priviledged don’t realize their advantages until they’re disadvantaged. They just keep swimming while others drown without water.
“When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” ― Oscar Auliq-Ice
