Abstract Love was a piece I wrote in a creative writing course I took in high school. I remember going through a particularly angsty period of my teenage years (who wasn’t, right?), and wrote the first draft of this poem during my Object-Oriented Programming course.

I got some really positive feedback, even though it’s rather quirky and niche.

This is not the best art. But it is art that I wanted to share, none the less.

Hope you enjoy,
Tommy
