I have laid myself bare to the ravages of emotions and endangered myself to its hold on me
I see only distance between where I stand and safety – the path uncertain to get there
I focus on the false hope and full pain and can’t envision the potential for unimagined joy
So do you retreat to lessen the pain – play it safe and never move forward?
So brave to show up present, so cruel to not.
To feel and relinquish control and yet to then lose it.
It changed in a matter of seconds, ripped my insides and there is no cure.
My mind before so calm and tranquil now won’t let me sleep.
It is one more blow that will lead to my hearts destruction.
Republishing today…
In a short period of time you breached my outer defenses.
You snuck behind my watchful gaze and made me feel.
And as quickly as you came, you pulled back leaving me wounded.
Left confused , broken and patching my defenses to make them stronger.
Stronger and more defiant against the next who tries.
The saddest thing I could do but …..
