Only you

Light, this is such a poignant piece for me. It is cause for much introspection on my part...am I being the callous jerk portrayed in your piece or am I sincerely trying to make my relationship work? You paint a vivid picture of someone who never deserved your love and attention. Bravisima!

Thank you so much. Sadly, I have a lot of heartbreak in my past. Enough to write a book, and maybe one day I will. Until then, I will focus on spreading word and helping all the heartbroken people I can. I'm glad I was able to touch you with this, after all, that was the intention. :)

I look forward to your commiting more of that heartbreak to the page. Not that I'm all for heartbreak but because I think the catharsis of poetry will help you heal as well.

I hope, healing takes time and sometimes even the help of others.

It does and it takes courage to reach out to others, admit that we're vulnerable souls and need help every once in a while.

I can feel the pain of disappointment in love and the desire for someone. Good write

Thank you, I'm glad you relate to this.

I hate to see you in such pain Jess, but these are the tough lessons in life that help us through the painful moments lingering on the horizon. There is so much selfishness in the world. The things you look for in a true love are evolving with each person you meet, even if you don't realize it, you will begin to notice the traits in each person you meet that cause alarm bells to ring and you will sense when someone is a person to avoid. There will still be those who can deceive you though. It's like car salesmen on tv, they can make a rusty hunk-a-junk seem shiny and new until you drive it off the lot and something under the hood starts banging...
A fresh coat of paint may cover the rust but it won't keep the rain out for long!

I guess I am just in a painful point in my life right now... thank you listening and taking notice.
