Too Painful (for cerenity)

Wondering whether to feel again,
think again, share again,
when never understanding
what it is
that guides me,
rules my every movement,
questions the world around me.

Why is it the answers
are never there,
not within, never touching me
from without,
anymore.

I wish,
Oh how I wish,
but for these thoughts,
I would be dead.
Yet, I will no longer release
nor will I share, that which is real
to me.

For all my thoughts
are now, too painful.


It starts high
and moves throughout
front to back, stinging at times.
Those words...
of misunderstandings.
An aching, from the heart
that feeds the soul,
or the hunger inside, that gnaws
and succumbs to the turmoil outside.

Whichever it is,
waiting for it to dissipate
is almost as painful,
as the pain itself.

So painful,
are my thoughts
that wrap my heart
in meaningless hurt,
that I shall now remain deaf,
to those whose lips
enjoy the taste of venom.

~Wynter Bliss

Maybe this title was too strong and I shall change it...it was meant to be an understanding of cerenity's pain.

Hi Wynter,

No the title is just fine perfect in fact, you have done a awesome job here of explaining how I feel and actually better than I, because you could say it without fear or rejection. I to the naked eye am too most a loving person and that is true, I care for all to the point of putting my soul in jeopardy, my empathy for others is very high. This empathy is a large part of my essences and my trust in people I take for face value, loving each and everyone of them with the greatest of care. The person, my ex whom I forgave freely when he chose my dearest friend over me and our three beautiful children, and so freely throw away sixteen years of marriage is the one I spoke of. Now after me trying Everything to keep good relations between the now two familys he desides to be blatenly ugly just because he can, and I for the life of me can not understand this or except it! I am a adult and can get over this and put it in its proper place but the children do not know how to do this and they are so very hurt by it. I guess it make it worse because I still care a great deal for the both of them and have taken much (Rude word here) CRAP for it by others, saying why in the world do you not hate them, and all I can say is I wish I could hate someone, believe me I have tried. All my life up intell a few mounths ago when a dear friend, Sven explained why I feel the way I do about people and why I care for them so much, even when they have proved beyond a shadow of dout to be ugly I still care, its called empathy and has made my life so much better because now I know why and actually can handle things in a clearer light. Now that I have told the world alot more than I probley should of, I want to tell you that this poem I shall keep forever and you were so loving for writing it and I am glad you did because you said things  so very perfectly thank you. By the way I have been wantint to tell you that I love your name Wynters Bliss just beautiful.

Love, Cerenity

Cerenity, I too have empathy and cannot hate...I am in the midst of abandonment after many years and yet I want to remain friends. How can you toss aside a lifetime of loving? Not I. But I have been told and I have read up on things, that the other person involved must try to get you to hate them so their guilt is lessoned. So they can have a reason  for going on knowing the pain and hurt they have caused. Not that I like to whine to my mother at this stage in life, but she (was married over 50 years before my dad passed away) said to me he will find all kinds of excuses for having left me. Blame me for things 5 years ago, ten years ago, for losing confidence in him..when it was he who lost it in himself...so, yes I understand where you are coming from and yes you have a very good friend in Sven. Friends are those who stick by you in your times of greatest need and don't try to tell you that you don't own the rights to pain, as some have told me...or told me I am not the first  nor the last to go through a divorce and to  stop pitying myself. I can't imagine that my  husband can toss away  many, many years of friendships and  my family accepting him as one of them, for a false love of someone younger but if that makes him happier, so be it, but I don't like  the feelings of hatred that he tries to well up inside of me, and some days I have to go away for a whole day to be out of the area because I don't like the nightmares I am beginning to have from his nasty, hateful words of his trying to make me hate him. huggz
thank you for the the words about my name...and thank you to Sven for being there for you.

wishing only happiness for you and your children..
