RE: My thoughts on various things **Spoilers for all books - Lady Persephone - Apr-08-2019 I wrote a poem today . . this is about myself and my own internal issues at the moment, but it could easily mirror Fitz's feelings, so I thought I'd share it here. The Sadness that is Me There is a pain that is branded into my soul It is full of the longing and the torment and keeps me from being whole I place my pain in the stone dragon so that I can disconnect From it, so that I can forget it ever existed So that I can forget and block up the inlet Of my heart That shaded bay of secrets dark and deep Let me shed them into memory stone veined with silver Let me drown in the memories that bubble up like foam on a river I don't want to feel anymore because I feel too much The emotions devour me like stars devoured by the dark I feel imploded, like a star under its own gravitational pressure Life has made me this impenetrable thing, scared by its mark Love is a wild emotion, its fast undercurrent is swift Friendship is a facet of love, like an unexpected gift Please take it away, I don't want it! I desire the torpor that is forgetting Forgetting what it could be to be whole Forgetting that there is a pain long branded into my soul -BCW RE: My thoughts on various things **Spoilers for all books - Mervi - May-30-2019 (Apr-08-2019, 11:41 AM (UTC))Lady Persephone Wrote: Oh wow Mervi . . you put this so beautifully and so perfectly, it gave me goosebumps reading it! Uhh err, I dunno. ![]() Anyway, if this was your typical human/human are-they-more-than friends? relationship, I'd be all up in the barricades demanding happy endings for queer characters etc but the F/F situation is so much more complicated than that. Also, I'd argue knowing what we know NOW that ~on a certain level~ they did have the perfect ending for a "couple". |
