I
just can't seem to control my emotions, no matter how much I understand
them and their causes. I can intellectualize, study, analyze to
a fine point, but still not change my behavior. Logic is no help.
I have such a degree of understanding that part of me watches my
reactions and explains them perfectly even while I fall apart. But
so far I still can't control myself. All is irrelevant, all is secondary
to the churning, billowing stem of true love i feel. A new organ,
a seething growth sending dull, achy, prodding fingers through my
gut as it tries to expand. It forces me to knot up my face with
silent screams and burning tears, then abates to leave me trembling
and shattered. Strangely, there is room for flashes of elation,
of laughter, in the range of emotion. All is allowed except serenity,
all feelings can be experienced as long as they are raw, primal
torrents. It's an alien consciousness, taking away all of myself
to replace me with a fountain of negative and positive extremes,
blanketed with angst. I'm someone else, someone who produces nothing
but sickness. The best I can be is bored and tired, spent after
spewing for hours, days, weeks at a time. Hoping that by surrendering
it'll grow monotonous, yet it never is because that's not what it's
about. It must constantly generate more emotion, more extremes -
a perpetual machine, an eternal flame. I just want to feel Love
again, and noth is perpetual pushing me away even when my angel
says she loves me.
