~Victim To Your Love~

I am not giving into your touch...
No, not this time.
I'm not going to let my skin melt under your fingers
or your words breathe hope into these ears.
I refuse to let go to your love this time.

You can't make me want you.
No matter how softly you kiss my mouth
or how hard your lips try to part mine...
I am not letting you in.
I am not going to be waiting this time for you to sneak up
and take hold of my heart
as you look so lovingly
and longingly
into my eyes.
I am not listening to your words
and you cannot make me lose myself like before
by telling me how much you love me,
how beautiful you think I am.
...How lucky you are to be my man.
I am holding fast to everything inside
and forcing myself to push
no matter how much
I want to pull you into me.

I am not giving in.
Don't bother running your fingertips up my back
or kissing the back of my neck.
I am not melting this time
as you breathe words of "I love you" into my ears
and get your searching hands tangled in my hair.

Why am I tingling?
Why are your dark eyes so gorgeous and honest?
Why can't I look away?
God, give me strength...
I can't fight you.
My heart can barely catch a breath
before you snatch the next one
from my lungs.
Damn it, you have begun seducing me
without even a touch!

Now the words....
I try to cover my ears but they come like waves of warm water
over me.
I lose my own body to your control
as you cradle my body and soul.
Then your hands...
You are touching my face,
your lips are moving towards mine.
I am already losing this fight.
My body is flushed,
every cell inside of me feels like its being pulled toward you.
Like the flu has taken over my body
I ache and I hurt
for your touch.

Please, touch me.
Kiss me.
Tell me again that you love me.
I give up, give in...
I am not strong enough to fight this truth.
...I love you.

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...
