A piece of me is missing
and I'm not sure how long we've been apart,
I feel it's abscence all the time
but I'm not sure where to find it.
Perhaps it has become damaged beyond repair
and will never work properly again.
Maybe if I see it
it wouldn't be recognizable,
time and events
may have changed it
into something
that I could never recognize.
And then I think
If I ever were to find it
would I be able to keep hold of it
regain some control,
keep it safe
or would it become lost again
among the darkest seas.
Could I ever trust in it
and have faith in what it can achieve
would I be able to let go
and see where it leads me
or will I live with the worry
that it run havock with my mind
before disappearing once again
under a web of fear.
Do I even want it back
or will it cause me endless pain,
will I ever again be confident in the knowledge
that it is my strength
and the light that people always see first.
Or will I still be convinced
that it would be taken advantage of
and trampled into tiny pieces
leaving me with the open wounds.
All these questions
and no answers
maybe I will always be conflicted
in whether I want my heart back at all.

"Do I even want it back

~ I believe that you do know the answer to that question.

"will I ever again be confident in the knowledge
that it is my strength
and the light that people always see first."

~ I believe that you do know the answer to this question, as well.

Let your Light shine on!

Love & Light,

A very good read.
I know the feeling.
I also know for now I don't .

How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?

Hearts can become numb, they can break, and even be crushed...but I don't think they ever go away.  

Pieces of my heart I have given to those that have departed this world way too early.
Giving those pieces have made what is left stronger and more fulfilled.  

Thought provoking Jenna.
