Fuck me sideways and rip my heart out, why don't you? -weeps profusely-

This...this has made me feel infinitely better about my current situation with an ex.

Goddamit Neil Gaiman, why do you have to be so good with words?
purplepiepetes
Gaiman and Riddell make such beautiful things together. <3
RezDogLover
How beautiful and sad and honest.
metalasylum
Damn that's beautiful.

I tried to read #2 as "I love must be vaster" for far too long...

Maybe I'm in a different place, but I call bullshit on this.

Beautiful

"I love you" means "your happiness adds to mine."
wondolf
Ha. Gaiman.
FarceMajeure
It depresses me most that I've never been in love in any relationship. I'd take even unrequited love just to know what it really feels like.
RiverSongSweetie
Thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful sonnet and awesome drawings. Neil Gaiman is the best <3
DenjinZero
Checked the username first, no Cera this time
alexicanz
Yea but did any of those romanticized literary characters ever wipe their love's ass when they were physically unable to?
EhgiCreative
I'm pretending it's the Doctor and Rose... Let me dream damn it!!!
rosetylerrocks
I'm relevant!
CorwinMacGregor
But.... didn't MU Ten leave his clone with Rose?
EhgiCreative
Its not the same!
razetherunner
I support anything that supports Ten + Rose.

I'm all about Nine and Rose. http://imgur.com">lFxKm2">http://imgur.com/1lFxKm2 - http://imgur.com/Xg37Gdv

I DID TOO
undernourishedandovercaffeinated
The most romantic thing my SO has ever said was "you're the kind of woman men fought wars over"
Cansinth
Most sexy thing my husband ever said to me was "I got fallout4". SPLOOSH!!
ImSoOffended
The most romantic thing I ever got was, "You're my Winnie Cooper."
Heavymettle
I feel positive that I have heard that from a show or movie or game or something. I just can't quite remember where it was...
mechanimated
That picture in #5, I always think about that feeling. Holding someone to you like a gift, like they're keeping you above the water.

Most romantic thing I've had from my SO - you'll do I suppose
bigdicklover30002
That'll do donkey. That'll do.
coprolite
"Don't leave me here alone" sounds desperate and selfish. I think love assumes a degree of selflessness - caring about them more than you.
BrokenWarrior
This. Exactly this.
ladykittenfarts
Reminds me of the post from the husband who had to leave his wife at a rehab and how terrible he felt as she sobbed while he walked away.
Mayhzon
You sound like the kind of person who logs into Okcupid just to tell strangers how desperate they are. Romance isn't always all bad...
Gmayor61
Technically speaking selflessness doesn't even really exist. You do things for people because YOU want to.
buttermyarse
Its also really unhealthy to have the mindset that without that person life is worthless. Its also a lot of pressure on that person!
WrongUn
It is. But I've felt this for a girl once and it totally relates. There are times when selfishness takes over and she's all you want
coprolite
Me too. I've been possessive and scared of losing. It doesn't seem like the kind of love that is "more than biological demands" though.
WrongUn
I disagree, it's way beyond just biological. for me anyway
coprolite
I agree that possessiveness and fear of loss can be a part of love. I guess I was just trying to add what I consider a more positive aspect.
chiplizard
what's this love stuff?
iDrinkDrano
It's gunkin up the drain and leaving the towels all stiff.
chiplizard
I'll never understand why people lucky enough to have found someone complain about this trivial shit.
Gmayor61
A good portion of people don't find this topic nearly as grand as other people do. Personally I find it the same as any other emotion.
iDrinkDrano
Wait... I got lost somewhere. What trivial shit? Masturbating in the shower and towels? Or the post?
chiplizard
I thought you were saying love is dealing with that from someone else. My bad.
iDrinkDrano
Oh, lol. Well, I would be a bit annoyed if my gf left the towels crusty with cum or something, yeah. Use a tissue darnit.
NinjasStoleMyMama
YAY - Read American Gods and The Graveyard Book - both Gaiman
CeeJayTea
Bought myself American Gods for Christmas, as well as Trigger Warning and Fragile Things, which I'm currently working through.
busdriverdan
Read the sandman if your willing to spend time and money on comic books (just time if you use the library)
NinjasStoleMyMama
Thanks! Will do asap.
TempusFrangit
Sandman is my favorite thing he's done. I just got all 4 annotated volumes!
NinjasStoleMyMama
I'm on it. Thanks!
KStudios
Love is finding the one that if they suddenly died, you'd be exceptionally inclined to follow them into that unknown. That's where I'm at.
barefootnbraless
My Fiancé has stage 4 Colerectal Cancer...I feel you.
excepttheoneswhoaredead
I asked my friend what she'd do if I was bit by a zombie. She said she'd get bit too. Most romantic thing I've ever heard.
unicornmanblazingsaddles
Depends on the manner of death. If they died violently, then I'd be more likely send a few people looking for my friend.
ThatOneOtherDude
The thing about Cassandra.
sweetnaivety
What? My name's Cassandra
ThatOneOtherDude
Hi Cassandra (Cassie?). It's a short story romance from "Trigger Warning" by Neil Gaiman. The ending is quite intriguing.
sweetnaivety
I don't go by Cassie, just Cass. Never heard of that book, though
ThatOneOtherDude
It was published last year. Got through a couple stories. They are peculiar with interesting concepts, but definitely not for everyone.
Ratty2hatty
But I don't think that's what they would want for you.
KStudios
Perhaps not, but the best part of me went with them anyway, and whatever would be left would be broken beyond complete repair. :D
ChristIHateThisWebsite
:D
Ichose2
They'll wait, and go on with you when your time comes. There's no rush
SugarSmack
Neil Mother Fuckin Gaiman.
TheArchdruid
His blank verse sucks. There, I said it.
ICouldBeStudying
Pretty much the only way to say his name.
CrimsonNirnr00t
Besides Tom Robbins (another literary break dancer), Neil Gaiman is my favorite author.
TheDorkLordMalcolm
+1 for 'literary breakdancer'
irishmn
Soon as I read his name I was like, yep, that makes sense. That was word porn.
zagibu
Shut the fuck up.
BingleyBingleyBeep
*poetry
randomshoe
yes exactly, word porn.
ASquirrelNamedLloyd
I tried to read one of his books and I couldn't get into it. I feel like I'm missing out
SugarSmack
Try "American Gods". If you don't like that book, well, I don't know what else to do to help.
ASquirrelNamedLloyd
Haha thanks! I will, but only because I like your username
SugarSmack
Back at you, Lloyd!
Rodolph
American Gods blew my mind. The series is being filmed.
SugarSmack
Filmed? Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I hope they don't ruin it.
helpmeeeplz
I love rhyme. Why can't modern American poets use rhyme? It's beautiful....
TastyTastyScience
For the same reason painting isn't just portraits of kings and lords anymore, basically.
gamer2k4
Because that takes effort and often talent, and angsty teens can't be bothered when they're writing their own "poetry."
helpmeeeplz
Too many literary specialist here, we can't advance this opinion, sigh
nevarowley
Yeah Walt Whitman was such a whiny brat.
sweetnaivety
I'm pretty sure all my angsty teen poems rhyme, but I always hated poetry and stuff that didn't rhyme was the worst.
disgr4ce
Because it was the only thing people did for a super long time and people got tired of it (=> modernism).
[deleted]

helpmeeeplz
Create rhyme for the meaning being conveyed.
helpmeeeplz
I'm saying that as someone who speaks 4 languages
disgr4ce
Rhyming is trivially easy in English, more so than some other languages. As I said, it was extremely common until the 20th century.
helpmeeeplz
Yes I have, but they forgot to change the definition of "poetry" in the dictionary
helpmeeeplz
Could have created a new term for it?
disgr4ce
It's not an 'excuse,' it's a cultural change that occurred over decades. Have you read any art history?
[deleted]

Mayhzon
It's all about the bandwagons nowadays. Sucks.
Mayhzon
Agreed. It's especially weird since art technically shouldn't be bandwagon stuff, but as unique as the individuals who create it.
SomePeopleCallMePringlesDick
I see you David Tenant
WhyShouldILoveYou
The best kind of tenant: almost never home, pays his bills always on time tho
startrekpotato
I actually thought it might be Neil Gaiman... with the scruffy hair and the long coat?
StephLovik
Thought the same thing.
MadamLadyBoner
me: "why is the tenth doctor in this web comic???"
DuckField
me: that girl is being forced to do that.... JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!1
spacecatts
Thought the same thing.
OhnoDinosaur
Wouldn't be surprised if it was on purpose. Gaiman wrote a few episodes of doctor who during the 10th doctor
