Rock Bottom
Best not to be loved widely but deeply.
Not by peers but within oneself.
Love so deeply, down to the warmest part of the Earth’s core.
Rock Bottom.
Pressure so strong, darkness penetrates.
Breaks through the chest, sharpest pain.
Love so deeply, break through the chains.
Climb the stairs from floor to ceiling.
Seconds feel like hours.
Hours feel like days.
But to love so deeply, is to charge through that pain
from the Earth’s core to stars outside the atmosphere
from warm to cold
now from deep to wide
from Rock Bottom to whatever happiness looks like.
