~When Love Is Not Enough For One It's Plenty For Another~



When you stand back to look at your life,
when everything you have fought for
believed in
and everyone you have loved
have all become a sad story told by unfinished poems
and endless,sleepless nights of tears,
it finally dawns on you that this is not life,
the stories,the tales~
life is not in the details and how well they
are told
but in the unsaid words
the unspoken emotions
that were so well felt
they have no words to describe them.
You realize that there are some people who were in your life
to fill in the gaps,
just to give you a measure of who is worth your precious love and time
when they promise you love but leave you with a heart
that is broken and weak.
And when you look and see there are only a few beings
that withstand your imperfections and the shades if ugliness that we all have,
only a few real, honest people who love you
for you
and not for what you do for them,
but one of them is not the one that you gave your all to...
One of them is not the person you dreamed of holding you
on the coldest of nights~
That's when it's time to let go of them, feel the love you do have,
take comfort in the people that can't live without you
and feel sorry for the one that could.
They are missing out,not you.
They are lost
when you were found.
Someday maybe they'll find a hole in their heart
where your love once was
but don't waste your love or time
waiting for miracles.

Reaching out is the most difficult part

Apparently in spite of all the good things in my life I am currently caught, again, in the tight grip of depression. While I've experienced it most of my life, I can't always recognize that is has me until I'm well imprisoned by it's firm hold. One minute I'm laughing and enjoying the little things in life, the next I'm struggling with ugly, broken thoughts. And like pieces of glass in my head, the thoughts cut into the flesh and leave me bleeding only darkness. When I am in a depressive state I am not sad all the time. There isn't some large black cloud that follows me everywhere. If we are to compare it to weather, which I usually do not, I honestly feel soothed by the darkness because the sunshine is too much a reminder of what I should or could be. Depression for me is eating to try to fill the empty spaces inside. It's denying the sunshine by closing all the blinds. It's sitting at the dining room table with Jesse's family and my own dau...

~Your loss, My Gain~

Image
Okay, so its over. I wrote you an e-mail along with the blog, asked you to consider working through our problems to get back to our friendship but you have gone unseen and unheard. I should not be surprised. In fact, I should be relieved as I feel that I am the one who fought for us while you just rode the waves. I am a woman, lost at times, full of self-doubt and feelings of abandonment. Sadly, having issues like these can make maintaining a long-distance friendship hard. Even more difficult is when the other person goes along fine,it seems, but is never honest about their feelings like I believe you weren't. It's very possible that all that we went through was my fault and that I made it a mess from day one but you won't voice your emotions so how can I see anything but my side? I really wanted to see yours but I couldn't, you wouldn't let me. My last e-mail I asked you to come chat, to talk about what happened, or didn't happen, to cause me to think tha...

~ The Silencing Of An Abused Voice ~

When you go through life feeling almost everything that happens around you, it can be very difficult to separate your heart from your mind and what you feel from what you know.  Most thoughts are rooted in emotions when you feel so much.  Your perception of the world and how it views you is influenced by your own self-worth. Perhaps over feeling everything has to do with being abused~ At least for me. Sexually, mentally and physically~ All forms of abuse can eat away at the core of self worth and become so overwhelming that in time it's all one can do to not pick everything apart-even compliments-for some hidden insult. It's exhausting, to say the least, and it can put a lot of distance between yourself and others.  As if you aren't lonely enough in that dark and cold place, you become a victim of your own thoughts, doubts and worries. You feel shame for the abuse because in your heart, you wonder what you did to deserve it, to cause it. Your brain tells you that these...
