Everyone I’ve loved
has loved me back so fiercely,
but yet, they’re not here.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Wow. This was so awesome. So much emotion. This was incredible.
Oh, that's harsh. I feel that. It's one thing to outlive those people that have loved You fiercely as You loved them, it's another for them to just leave out of Your life. More often than not we're always thinking about what we did wrong. Yet, the truth is, in most scenarios there was nothing we could do to keep them loving us as we wanted to love them. Reminds me of the song, "Got Used to Somebody to Love Me."
While those you've never noticed, continue to linger just hoping for the grace of a single glance.
Unfortunately, that's how the world works. It's the bitter truth. Sending you lots of love and hugs 🥺❤️
Succinct but sorrowful. Great picture too.
Melancholy and elegant.
Compelling work, Natasha. Beautifully said.
It makes one wonder many different questions. Well written, Natasha.
Simple yet devastating. Well done.
Very poignant! Fierceness is intense but often fizzles until it forgets. Beautifully written haiku, Natasha!
So much power in so few words. Sad but beautiful, Natasha!
