Healing
The pain has faded,
From anyone or anything,
Been a while since I have dated,
Had a one day fling.
I sit here,
Relaxed and calm,
Like a deer,
Or a tree of palm.
Not one thought goes through my head,
About the times I have cried,
About the times I have been wished dead,
About the people who have lied.
I quit love for a while,
And I am going to keep going,
till I find the one with that certain smile,
Till their love is truly showing.
I listen to these songs,
That use to kill,
For so long,
But now don't even make me ill.

its sad you feel this way...I've been burned by love, just don't search for it, let it find you! ;) When you do that, that is when its more worthwhile!

Yeah, I learned this a while back. Looking for love you find pain. Always happens. I'm all good now, I just detached myself from everything.

Detachment isnt really 'healing' though its just suppression. And whilst you are regressing from feeling it cannot really give healing because you're not embracing the pain you are facing.
I liked it. but --Ive found once you've accepted something its easier to be and cope with it. If you continue to ignore it's just going to build and build. And maybe, just maybe, when you Do find love again it'll be the same thing all over again -- baggage isnt cute hun. Save the next person the heartache as well as yourself.
