Hard heart I am in control. You must do as I tell you, you know. I must know every place you go. Don't you dare talk to another man cause I keep a close watch on my woman. You must do as I tell you or go. My goal in this life is to rule over you. I must make every decision for you. Cause your not capable. Isn't that true? Am I not wonderful? Without me what would you do? And why? What is the reason you say. Why must I control you in every way? Soft heart Well now, if I could honestly look into my heart I would be able to tell you why I tear you apart. To be honest with you I'm not a very happy man cause if I was I would surely understand that when you reach out for love your heart first turns toward me and when you yearn for love your heart reaches out tenderly. And if I were honest I would admit that my hard heart never ask your soft heart to stay. Over and over I turn your soft and tender heart away. And if I were honest I would tell you this is something I don't totally understand. Why, will somebody please tell me. Why must I be your tormentor and not your loving man? If only I could honestly confess that all of this control and manipulation is creating a mess. Why can't I see that laughing and loving is taking a permanant vacation. Why can't I simply say, I love you please love me too. If only I could come to the realization that love is freely given and not taken.

The Hard Heart will lead to frustration and pain for all involved. The Hard Heart is a mask for insecurity. Focus on the Soft Heart and make it your constant goal to achieve. It will bring so much more happiness and treasures you have not dreamed of. Just some thoughts! Your writing is really good. Danny |

Very true danny you have never said truer words. Yes, issues of insecurity and selfworth. Actually my heart is soft right now and has been for many years. I wrote this for a friend and yet at one time many years ago I was the man with the hard heart. And as you say it did lead to frustration and pain for all. Thanks for your insight. James |

James I am moved beyond words. This is almost spot on. Thanks for the understanding and the thoughtful gesture of writing this for me. (HUGS) *tear*  Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Thank you Janet Marie I appreciate the nice things you have written. I love your name also. Isis I was stirred up by the poem that you had written and it would have been hard not to write this. I confess to you that this brought back memories to me of my first marriage, and my marriage ended in 1991, and one of the most serious mistakes I had made was a control issue. I was dominating my wife until I destroyed her self esteem and I was critical of her, and she told me later that she hated for me to come home, to criticize her once again, and she told me she began to hate me. And of course when you choose to dominate your wife verses loving your wife all love is lost. I have paid the price for my foolishness and my wife and my children have paid the price. When I went thru the pain of losing my family I decided that I would never repeat that mistake, and I haven't. I choose a soft heart, an open heart, I choose to love and be loved, sharing open communication, laughter and happiness. James |

Thank you Jennifer. That was not a new years resolution but it was my wish and my desire and my hope that this would be my year for happiness...and when it begins I hope it never ends. James |
