Sweet words
only go so far
Marceline sighed,
eyes pooling in thought
She may not be able to help the slight, hopeful lilt of her heart,
but she could isolate herself,
give herself a chance to get over this
Marceline took a deep breath,
wondering why none of this seemed to ever work out,
plans fell through and crowded schedules achingly shoved them away
Love was a mess
that she wasn't sure that she was ready for.
