"To fall in love is to create a religion..."
"...that has a fallible god." Jorge Luis Borges Poetry or prose

My romantic egoist

Love

The simplest of emotions but hardest of them all

I could love you and not care

Right?

Or I could care for you but not love you

Sounds better

I tuck my emotions deep in my mind wanting to be free

Not caring at all

Because love as I thought has showed me only despair

But what happens when a stranger rids my love struck heart of it’s chains

I didn’t ask for it

I wanted to be alone

I wanted to be free

But with him near, I can’t

I want to bare my demons to him

But I’m afraid

Afraid that he might toss me out without sparing me a glance

Afraid that he wouldn’t hold me And tell me my demons don’t matter

It’s not about me though

What if I toss him out when he shows me his demons?

I bet they’re as beautiful as he is

And I can’t risk my emotions

My feelings

I can’t risk my morals

But with him, it’s like my morals cease to exist

Love I may not know

But men, I do know

And I haven’t had my full

Until him

My whole world revolves around him

My downfall

My anchor

My religion

Putting me in obsession

Unhealthy

Making me,

A fallible god
