Well well well, guess who gets easy crushes? If they even are crushes. The great thing about being in the internet at 2am is you learn fun words that kind of describe your life and it's sort of distressing but also comforting to know it's at least enough of a thing to have its own word. For your convenience here's a definition. Limerence is an involuntary state of intense desire. It's not neccesarily romantic, though it can be. It's sort of like hyperfixating in a human and wanting all their affection and love and all that fluff. It's,, sort of me.Blame the autism I suppose. *Anyway* on with the show
There is smoke in us,
a suggestion of heat
but vapid.
I tell myself it's not my fault,
not when every smile
threatens to shoot embers
to warm my heart
but this flame in me is mine alone.
I stoked it myself,
treated each word like a lit match
even when my hand struck it
because I crave warmth.
But this is no substitute
for love.
