Patches of life

Breaking up is like having a door
slammed  in your face or being
pushed off a swing. It's sudden
and happens so fast. You're
hurt momentarily but the
real pain doesn't hit you until
the next day.

Being in love is like a fairytale
with a happily-ever-after. It's
like walking through a forest and
finding a glistening creek. The
beauty of it all is so magnificent.

Someone cheating on you is like
a slap to the face. It's a disgrace
and disgusting. That's like someone
giving you a piece of candy but
licking it first.

Moving on is never easy. There is
always something holding you back
and a piece of your heart is
still in the hand of the person
you cared for. It's like a little kid
giving away their favorite toy.

It's difficult letting go of something
you've held dear to your heart.
It's nearly impossible to forget
them. Their engraved into your life.
Forgetting them would be like
trying to rip a tree up.
Roots and all.

Falling in love with someone is
like the first raindrop of a
thunderstorm or a caterpillar
breaking free from it's cocoon, forming
into a elegant butterfly. It's
something two people wish for and
it's seldom to come across.

Never experiencing love is like the
sun never rising or the wind
not blowing. It's like the waves
never kissing the sand or birds
that cannot take flight. Going a lifetime
without love is like never
dreaming or not getting to
laugh until you cry.

Love it, the word choice is awesome. It was a masterpiece to me. Perhaps that is because I can so relate to this. I loved the picture that you painted. The lines flowed to show us the whole picture. The spacing made this piece for me. It brought the images to life. I enjoyed this journey although parts of it broke my heart. Keep up the good work.
