What does it matter?

What does it matter if we waste our beautiful terrible love on people who spit it out like watermelon seeds what if we waste our love on a world that does not love us back a world that will send us to the ends of the earth and back and still return empty handed all on the journey for that elusive joy that was promised to our youthful, gullible hearts by all of the stories we read not realizing that stories,

was all they ever were.
