Extinguished Flame

Extinguished Flame

Despite the pain, I clung to the belief that you were destined to be mine, that our connection was written in the stars. Each time our eyes met, I felt a certainty that you were the one I had been searching for, the missing piece of my existence.

Yet now, as I stand before you, I am enveloped by a haunting emptiness. The flames of love that once raged within me have been extinguished, leaving only a hollow void in their wake. With a heavy heart, I realize that the tumultuous journey of our love has reached its inevitable conclusion.

In this moment of clarity, I am liberated from the shackles of uncertainty and pain. The emotional rollercoaster that once defined our relationship has come to a merciful end, leaving me with a bittersweet sense of closure.

The Narcissist's Masquerade

In love's twisted labyrinth, shadows conspire,

A false Cupid, cloaked in dark attire.

With whispers sweet and arrows of black,

He ensnares hearts, never looking back.

Beneath his mask of angelic guise,

Lurks a soul consumed by cunning lies.

His words, like daggers, cut deep and cold,

Leaving wounds that never grow old.

He weaves a web of manipulation's art,

Playing with emotions, tearing souls apart.

Each vow of love, a twisted refrain,

Leading lovers to sorrow, to endless pain.

His arrows pierce, not with love's sweet kiss,

But with venomous poison, leaving hearts amiss.

He twists and turns, with deceitful grace,

Leaving behind a bitter, empty space.

Beware the Cupid with wings of night,

For his love is but a poisonous blight.

In his embrace, there's only despair,

A haunting echo of a love unfair.

Love’s Demise

In your gaze, my reflection lies,

When did our love freeze, when did it die?

I never fathomed it'd come to this,

The void in your eyes, a love's abyss.

Two souls ablaze, now drenched in tears,

Who knew our passion would drown in fears?

When did our flames turn to icy blue,

In your eyes, I see, our love withdrew.

Recently, a friend mentioned that I'm the epitome of an introverted extrovert, and I couldn't agree more. While I naturally lean towards introversion, I often find myself embodying an extroverted persona in social settings. It's a paradoxical situation considering how much social interaction drains me, yet I crave the company of people and actively seek out social situations most of the time. It's a fascinating dynamic to navigate.

Adventure

The mountain air carries a crispness, accompanied by the gentle melody of birdsong. Standing atop this majestic peak, I settle down to absorb the breathtaking panorama. Below me, the river flows, a ribbon thousands of feet below, while lush green trees adorn the surrounding mountains. At last, a moment of tranquility envelopes me.

As I closed my eyes, a flood of emotions engulfed me. Tears trickled down my cheeks, unveiling the depth of his significance in my life. I once believed the hardest part was letting him go, yet in truth, the real challenge is acknowledging my reluctance to do so. Admitting the depth of my feelings for him is a revelation I cannot evade. Severing our connection was not solely about letting go, but rather erecting a shield against the fear of falling completely in love with him.

Despite relishing the solitary hike, an unshakable yearning lingers— a desire for his presence, wishing he was by my side to share in this awe-inspiring adventure.

I poured out my heart, expecting nothing in return, only to find that in the depths of your silence, you held the key to unlock the love I never knew existed.
