What It All Means
Once you lose your meaning
once you lose your focus
Once you lose your will
once you lose your love
your heart becomes forfeit
your mind becomes forfeit
your soul becomes forfeit
your love becomes forfeit
your world became meaningless
your decisions became meaningless
your life became meaningless
your love became meaningless
all you do is cause your friends grief
all you do is cause your family grief
all you do is cause your others grief
all you do is cause your Love grief
baring all this in mind:
do I laugh or do I cry
do I smile or do I sigh
do I say hello or do I say goodbye
do I live or do I die
maybe I should take advice
maybe I should seek help
maybe I should just shut up
maybe I should live loveless
should I find a new wife
should I get a new life
should I just get out my knife
should I end this pain and strife
the razor is righteous
the knife is righteous
the rope is righteous
the bullet is righteous
its always the same:
the one you want doesn't want you
the one that you crave is not interested in you
the one that you care for doesn't care about you
the one that you love doesn't love you
nothing hurts more than that
nothing upsets you more than that
nothing kills you more than that
nothing breaks you more than that
it is over
your world is over
your Love is over
your life is over
please read and understand

thank you for reading, I suppose the why is a mixture of a broken heart and unrequited love :-)

David, my Friend, there are three types of people you will meet in this experience: Soul Mates, Twin Flames ( sometimes known as Twin Catalysts depending on the lesson ), and a ( as in one ) Twin Soul.
You will have many Soul Mates; these can be family, friends, teachers, and even lovers. Some will remain with you throughout life, others you'll be given a few moments with on the subway or a restaurant.
Twin flames are those who evict you from your complacency toward your desires, especially when we don't believe in our own desires enough to go after them ourselves. These appear when we're conflicted, when our hearts and heads don't match up with what they want. These people are the chiropractors who adjust us. They crack our spine and rebalance our heart with our minds, and, as you know, an adjustment is painful before it feels good. They're the catalysts who reignite a dead belief, or a lost hope.
Just this time last year you didn't believe love existed, much less for you; however, it's what you wanted more than anything. You've been adjusted and you're sore as hell right now from the pain.
This is where many people give up, despite discovering what they thought never existed to begin with. . .
If you can just hold out, if you can just believe that what you seek is seeking you or it wouldn't exist, you'll come to know all of this yourself. And one day you'll know it was you who charted this experience because you could take it.
Regardless of your choices, you can't go wrong; there are no mistakes toward your destiny.
You can't get there looking back because there's no forward movement. You'll become stagnant and contaminated with regret for something you yourself wanted in order to Spiritually evolve; you just can't remember it yet.
You must walk through and experience the pain. Don't hide from it; don't wish it away; don't wish it could be different than what it is; accept it; Love it.
The pain is in the holding on; the lesson is the letting go gracefully.
If you can just hold on and believe. . .

Despite Line 2, this is a very powerfully focused poem, David.
Life is a pipe of perception at times. You're at one end looking through to the other when you are this narrowly focused.
There were times when you were looking through from the other end.
Remember those times.
And find the middle ground of that pipe where there is a balanced perspective.
