Fragility. Delicate and fragile.
Too soft to the touch of even a single dainty
fingertip
Romanticized. Romanticized and idealized.
So sought after, yet so enigmatic and hazy
like the sky when it weeps in longing for the
moon.
We yearn and lust after an intangible concept
in desperate pursuit of feeling something we
will never be ready to accept
Enticing. Enticing and addictive.
So much like the love she once shared with
them
Only to be left, brokenhearted yet again.
Intricate. Intricate and flawed.
Dark, detailed, depth in its imperfections
yet it still glimmers with its
silly little silver linings
evermore
So be careful, sweet creature
with the happiness you so strongly desire
as in the endless chase, you might find it backfire.
