Limerence

Love sends out but does not come back
And a restless mind cannot sleep,
As the night and darkest places,
- everything goes black

The need to make you feel
The need to make it real
- may take you by surprise
It's a long time coming,
For this devoted, lovelorn Soul

You don't know what it's like
To watch the one you love
- love someone else
You don't know what it's like
To live so intensely
- lost within love, itself

I can't focus, nothing is clear 
And the days seem smothered by cold,
As the Winter blankets the ground, 
- the world could disappear

The need to have you see
The need to have you be
- the one who fills this void
It's all that matters now,
For this devoted, lovelorn Soul 

You don't know what it's like
To watch the one you love
- love someone else
You don't know what it's like
To live so intensely
- lost within love, itself

Take my heart, all of me
You've already stolen my Soul
And love is slowly killing me
But I just can't let go

note:
Many things interest me and I write about
all sorts of things; hauntings, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, dark, gothic, nightmares (often) ...
wolves (definitely) ...
And (in reference to) likes/beliefs/old ways; nature, night time, weather, Wiccan, the elements, seasons ...
And emotions; love, anger, rage, sadness
and hurt - some from myself but also
from what others discuss, or from music,
artwork and movies. (a bit of everything)
But I also sometimes write about things
in relation to kind of physcological topics;
depression, rumination ... Limerence
A sunny, Summer, butterflies & glitter gal,
I'm not. :)
There's a great article on 'Limerence'
and I want to share the link because it,
(and the person who wrote it) can explain
it far better than I could.
~ Thanks
