Thankful

Everything is lost and I can only gain
A will to live exists somewhere if I can find it
Fault lines leave me buried beneath blemished rubble
Fuel for an empty tank is plentiful when it’s never been full
Everything is experienced
Everything is felt
Thoughts are endless
Thoughts bring joy but loss brings pain
Pain and joy are raw when neither have been felt before
Joy brings life and pain brings experience
A genuine experience is exhausting when you’ve never felt genuine
Genuine feelings form bonds of unknown friendship
Friends become the family I never knew
I don’t know what love is until I see it
I don’t know what love is until I lose it
Is it better to never know love than to know anguish?
Love gives me the strength to persevere
Love frees me from fear because no feeling could ever be stronger
To say thank you is not enough
To know love is to be blessed even if it only lasts within me
The wolf is undying as long as I am not dead
