Nevermore

Edgar Allen Poe once said, ~I was never really insane except where my heart is touched.~ If you think about it, when it comes to matters of the heart concerning falling in love, being in love, and not to mention utter heartbreak it can oftentimes feel as if or should I say compared to the well known poem The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. Essentially, the feelings, memories, and emotions one tries to deal with in their heart/head don't necessarily have that warm, butterflies in the pit of your stomach experience. You see, there are times where it can quite possibly be a midnight dreary of an existence within, leaving you weak and weary physically, mentally, spiritually, as well as emotionally to the point where it pushes you to the brink of absolute insanity.

Without a doubt, it can most definitely be a tough situation indeed as you endure the consistent tapping, so to speak, on the metaphorical chamber door of your own heart when love or the lack thereof causes you unfortunate and unbearable pain. It's within the chamber door of a person's heart where true happiness or the painful sorrow of a guy/girl who is known as their own personal Lenore. Thinking about it further, the thoughts and memories of him/her are thrilling and terrifying at the same time as the sound of continuous knocking is heard on the metaphorical door of one's own heart. A knock that can certainly resonate/echo within so much so to where it raises so many questions that it haunts not just every chamber of your heart but mind as well.

As I said before, the sound of a continuous metaphorical knock on the chamber door of one's heart can raise so many questions that inevitably haunt your heart and mind. I think it would be safe to say we've all answered the door to our own heart countless times only to find there are no answers to speak of. It's an annoying and seemingly frustrating state of affairs to find yourself in as you stand there at the doorway of your own heart not only deeply staring into the darkness searching for any presence of the answer, but intently listening for it also. However, what all you get before you is instead dead silence. Let me tell you something, its the haunting and terror filled silence in your heart/head that leaves you wanting to rip your own hair out as it whispers his/her name leading you to gradually slip into absolute madness.

Let me ask you this question to those who are in love/falling in love and suffered an unfortunate heartbreak, were you able to calm your heart/mind giving you the time/opportunity to continue exploring/searching for the answers you've been seeking for that are deemed a mystery to you? If you said no you're right. There comes a point while attempting to get those particular answers you've been driven to the brink of insanity for someone or something comes along, swoops in and perches on the chamber door of your heart uttering not a single word, which is a representation of a stately raven. Hey, every person is currently in or has been in that type of situation where the answers we so want are perched on our heart/mind staring each one of us in the face torturing us with deafening silence. Yet, the question remains: have those questions been answered for you?

In retrospect, when the raven of unanswered question perches on your heart and mind you can't help experience a stirring restlessness that can be described as nagging torture. For a certain number of people portray an outward calm but on the inside their screaming at the top of their lungs at the raven of unanswered questions wanting badly to be given the answers they've been seeking for quite some time. Unfortunately, some never receive those answers and find themselves being silently taunted by their own metaphorical dark, ominous metaphorical bird while others were able to figure it out on their own. In the end, I say to those who are continually being taunted by the raven of unanswered questions to true happiness, you will someday be given those answers and the silent, tortuous pain you've been experiencing will no longer be felt Quoth the Yoda Guru "Nevermore."
