Life isn't meant
For the weak of mind
Love isn't meant
For the weak of spirit...
I didn't know
how much of a contradiction
my strength has been up
Until...

He caused me
to take more than a step back
When he walked into my life
Caused my heart
to have a panic attack...

I don't believe
in judging one's past
when it comes to
a deeper soul connection
But
I didn't know
how much of a contradiction
my thoughts were on the subject up
Until...

He caused me
to open my eyes
to the risks
of trusting someone

Now I feel more
disconnected
Sickened by something real
Something I thought
I always wanted

I didn't know
how much of a contradiction
my needs were up
Until...

He injected me
with his
heroin laced love

Your style is quite unique in thought and presentation. Enjoyed the resonance of spirit.  The blending of mind, heart and soul in love is a climax to be attained...and when it comes, there is no fear left unconsumed.

Interesting slant on the love-angle in this one.  I enjoyed it.

I could sense the confusion and frustration in your words. The words seemed to pour out from your solar plexus and down onto the page.

A great conclusion! It had real impact!

~ Does not sound as though you are in the greatest of places emotionally at this time. You deserve so much better, Dear Kristen! ~ and may that come your way soon!

Loving hugs,
Linda

Love is not always so grand and sometimes so
bitter to the taste when it slips away.
Leaving us going in circles,  wondering
which way to go now...for each step is down
a path,  often unknown...

Hang in there my friend...
