I'm not like you. Is that a crime?
I LOVE this poem. so simple. so complicated. it sums up how I feel at least 50% of the time. I wish I wrote it myself. but we all know you can't always get what you wish for.
“Alone” by Sara Teasdale
I am alone, in spite of love,
In spite of all I take and give-
In spite of all your tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I am alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit’s pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.
I don't think that it helps that when ever I talk about anything I'm emotional about besides politics he basically stops listening to me. But I'm sure there's a thousand and one things that I'm doing wrong in this relationship. I don't know which bothers me more. And I just want it to work. I love him. But love isn't always fair or nice or simple.
