~Love's Love~


The arms of Love should hold and protect~
Keeping their Love safe from hurt with a strong embrace
meant to hold but not possess.


Love's eyes should admire,
drinking in the beauty of his lover longingly,
lovingly
but not with a feeling of ownership or lust
because Love realizes that her beauty is not his to have~
It is there for all to see at least once
yet his, if he's lucky, to witness today and forever.


Love's hands should hold his Lover's hand softly,
intertwining and lacing his fingers gently around hers
to touch her, to let her feel him
but not to keep her from touching the world with curiosity.


Love's heart should love without needing back her love in return
yet should be overflowing with Hope for what her Love would
bring to his life and into his world.


The mind of Love knows that Love is not just a gift
but its a lifelong promise,
not to be ripped away to harm.
Love's reasoning knows that even if their being together ends
before their last breath
that it was not in vain...That is was still real and true.


The life Of Love should be long and strong-
It should plan for Forever
because when the promise of Love
is given as a lie,
the heart that it tries to possess
will never be able to trust again.
Love would not want to leave his Lover hurting
or unable to give of herself to another.
Love wants only the best for her.


Love should have patience,
restraint
and truth.
Love's time is but short.
It should give itself freely,
completely
and without regret
because when two loves who are this selfless and loving meet
there will be no end.

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...
