THE DOPAMINE DIARIES

Sparks of memories, letters to lost lovers and reflections on the vast landscape of the human heart.

 

All words my own.

~

You need thicker skin, they say.

But, maybe I don’t want a guard rail to protect myself from the hurricane of what the heart wants.

~
~

My lips meet yours and I’m instantly intoxicated by your tenderness x

~
~

The ones that hear you, are the ones that long to know the real you.
Hold them tight.

~
~

Lady,
The hustle looks good on you.

~
~

If you consider danger locked in depths…

Then, yes, I am a dangerous woman.

~
~

Love is not only for lovers.
Loss is not only for lovers.
Regret is not reserved for only failed romances.

~
~
The waves crash, so will you.
You have not failed.
Rather, you give rise to a rippling undercurrent of strength.
A rhythmic rebirth.
~
~

I don’t hate you

I loved you.
That’s the memory that rips my heart
open at 2am.

~
~
Woman.
You have too many vibrant shades and blank pages to colour between the lines.
~
~

Memories are heroin for the heart.

~
~
He tells me not to write just about love.
Yet, there are monuments built on love.
Novels penned about love.
Albums serenading a loved one.
Artworks inspired by the wrinkles that gather at the corners of your one true loves mouth when they unexpectedly smile.
So tell me, how can I not write about love?
~
~

Damn it’s hard getting words to be faithful to feelings.

~
~
Every lover is seduced by my sass.
Yet, every love softens me.
~
~

We have become so used to holding on, we have forgotten how good it feels to let go.

~
~

Please don’t play me like you play your guitar, promise me?

~
~
The poems and tears
were wasted on your fickle heart.
~
~

If you love me harder and love me more, it still won’t be enough to make up for the love I’m lacking for myself.

~
~
She used to
He used to
We used to
The past tenses are overwhelming her present life.
Soften the grip.
Release the grasp.
Let go.
~
~

We would spend hours lost at dusk and dawn..

Waking and falling..
Falling asleep, falling in love, falling into each other.
