The Unnamed Gift

The Unnamed Gift When you give a gift,
do you announce it-This is for you-
or do you leave it in the dark
and call the receiver thief?

What is Love?

Love is hunger endured
to preserve dignity—
not because you cannot take,
but because you refuse to break posture.

Look at Me a Song by Ronie Dinosaur

They clock the miles carved in my back,
They count the scars across my fists.
They see the iron I never lacked
In the morning’s cold, relentless mist.
They read the words I bled on the page,
A philosophy forged in fire, Read more from here...

Ronie Dinosaur Chapter 71 – Cruel Intentions

Ronie Dinosaur Chapter 71 - Cruel Intentions In love, there are no secrets.
If they still exist in her-and she cannot tell or explain why, even after I ask with my whole heart, again and again-and if it keeps getting worse, then it’s time I accept the truth: she didn’t love me. She loved the way I made her feel special, and even that was ordinary to her.
Love that keeps me waiting, that sees me cry in pain and continues to do the same things that hurt me, is not love. It’s clear she thinks love is foolish, and she considers herself smart enough to treat me poorly, even in front of my own eyes. This is not a trust issue, no matter how often she throws that word at me. This is her character.
Even after giving her my whole world, she keeps the door open-selling me a dream and delivering a nightmare. I tell her every day that I miss her, even in the space between seconds. She never misses a chance to make me feel unwanted, sometimes even laughing at my misery. That is a choice. Nothing else.
She makes excuses for not choosing me. She keeps doing things that make me feel ashamed of the love I give her, while pretending she never takes advantage. She manipulates, dictates, and lectures me-saying love should not be proud or loud-while I stay patient, absorbing everything, still hoping for her love. Read more from here...
