"Always Gone"
Reading 'Always Gone' truly resonated with my own experiences of love and loss. It vividly expresses the sense of impermanence many of us feel in relationships despite our deepest efforts to hold on. I've found that accepting the inevitable ebb and flow of people in our lives can be one of the most healing practices. This poem beautifully touches on how love can be both fiercely burning and heartbreakingly fleeting, much like tides that never return. In my journey, I've realized that creating safe emotional spaces inside ourselves—much like the 'home in the warmth of my chest' mentioned—helps us cherish memories while also preparing to move forward. The poem’s metaphor of some love drifting away like smoke or vanishing suddenly mirrors how some friendships and romances end unexpectedly, leaving us to question and grieve the loss. What stands out is the idea that loving the leaving is an ongoing process, a balancing act between joy and sorrow that many people experience but rarely articulate so poignantly. This has encouraged me to embrace each relationship fully, knowing that some will stay and some must go. Learning to live with loss, as the poem suggests, involves cultivating resilience and openness to new connections while honoring those who have touched our lives. For others dealing with similar feelings, I recommend journaling or writing poetry to express and process emotions. Engage with communities that support sharing personal stories, as this can provide comfort and a sense of belonging. Ultimately, 'Always Gone' is a reminder that though endings align and losses are inevitable, the capacity to love remains a powerful and defining part of our human experience.
that is the saddest thing I've ever heard but unfortunately that is exactly how I feel completely, seems like it always happens that way,no matter how much love I have for another human being even if it's every fiber of my being doesn't matter one way or another they always find a way to leave making me wonder what it is about me that's so unlovable on worthy of someone staying so rejectable longing for home that rests in someone else's being left still feeling another human being flowing through my veins lost wandering hoping you'll come back theynever do they break you down to nothing but a ball of wet tears shaking in the corner of the room to the point where your entire body is convulsing and every muscle in your body clenched and tight and sore in your face is chapped and your eyes are swollen you isolate yourself from others because you don't want them to see you that way hiding behind a fake smile pretending everything's okay I'm barely eating barely sleeping barely getting by sometimes barely getting out of bed hoping wishing praying still nothing it tears a person apart makes a person feel completely worthless dehumanized and then loneliness sets in then the depression anxiety PTSD and BPD starts then you have to go to counseling because you're all messed up in your head and start taking medication because you can't handle your emotions you can't go to work you can't drive you go to every store but you can't get out of your car without freaking out you become someone who has a very high case of social anxiety you stop trusting people it becomes a huge problem your Love radar is ruined especially when this happens over and over especially when he planned on forever with this person when you plan on getting married and spending the rest of your life with them changes you breaks you and it rips out your soul
