Severed

Prologue

I think what hurts the most is when you give your all to somebody. Through thick and thin, you're there for them. You stick with them no matter what.
Then one day they just give up. They won't even fight for you anymore. The one thing you would've never done to them, they did to you without hesitation.

I call this unrequited love.

Its the feeling of being completely, hopelessly, desperately in love with someone, all the while knowing that your feelings will never reach them.

Its contradictory in that you feel incredible because you love someone so much, but also at the same time you feel the almost overwhelming despair because you will never know what it is like to hold them in your arms, or touch their face, or kiss their lips. You will never know what it is like to wake-up next to them in bed in the morning, bodies entwined.

It can be masochistic in nature- it causes such heartache, but you enjoy loving the person so much, you willingly let your heart go through the agony, so you can hold onto something- I don't know, maybe hope?

Metaphorically its like drowning but you just won't fucking die.
