Do you know why I have so much love to give? Love by the ton dropped like dimes on motherfunkers I don't like even? It's because I have understood an even greater pain. That's why I fight for love, believe in love. I wish it weren't so, but the darkest hour defines what you choose to live for.
What's worse is I'm a poet, and poets don't see the world as is. We see the why, the how, the GUTS of everything. And we have this sick and twisted way of loving it all. I understand backstory, mistakes, the wailing behind the stairs, walks down hospital hallways, the wrong alleyways on the wrong night, can't hold yourself up because the room is spinning and it's too unimaginable to believe this reality.
Because of this I want to shower this world in miracles, talk about Spring's first blossom and the shelter of a cool breeze on a dog day, strongarm you into a smile, remember remember remember you are breathing RIGHT NOW.
So, yeah. There is no other option but to live in love. But it's not a fairy tale. It takes falling down the stairs a few times first.
