I feel the need to write, but I know not what nor why tonight. So i shall write something and see what it becomes.
A sigh, that is how i feel most of the time. Most of my days. Little more, little less. Unsure if it is my defeat or a relief. Just a sigh.
I recognize many of my faults and endeavor to better them, and to fix those other show to me. But it never seems enough.
I see few strengths but i try to leverage those when i can and develop those other show me. Yet its never enough.
I never feel whole, not even half complete. Pieces missing, lost to time seem to have fallen from me.
Broken I am, again, probably more than ever. Alone I am, to face the world the best I can.
Born in the wrong time, in the wrong place it seems. To early or too late, my purpose left unfufilled because that purpose doesnt exsist now, and I shant live to see the time in which it does again.
Verily, the fire that raged in my hearth for so long dies. Slowly it wanes, smothered a littke at a time by the ashes of other lives. Starved of fuel by neglect and lack of tending. No tender caress for my heart, no care for what small flames still linger within.
I fear to reach out to the people who care because the past has been bitter. I force myself not to reach out to those whom I wosh would nurture me because I fear to send them fleeing, or because I must not because they are not mine to lean towards.
My heart still holds love, but I cannot express it because not only are you not mine, but because I have grown to fear that I know not how to love properly anymore. Not how you nor anyone else deserve. I fear that I am too old to learn this once more. I fear that I will remain broken forevermore. Unable to touch another soul, fill it with the softness and tenderness I once knew how to give so well.
Ive built these walls so high, so thick and strong, in an effort to protect myself from pain. I fear these walls will now crush me. They hold back so much and I fear to let it out because the risks have shown to be too great to endure.
I want to love again. But i dont know where to start. I dont know how to begin and give you what youre worth, even if I could have you.
You are, and sadly will always be, the one who I let fall throughy grasp, and I will always despair over this.
You. You are my Tinúviel, and you will sadly never know.
