Dark Corners The dark reaches of my recent past push to my now, Dark corners filled with spider webs ~ forgotten corners I had not entered and dusted for a while. For I had moved on and far away from what once was. I was no longer that person of blind faith and acceptance ~ I chose to give. A new chapter had presented me the gift I offered you. I felt freedom in giving what was once so roughly taken In return, I asked you to love and care for me. For I gave all of me ~ my heart, my body, my mind, my soul. They were yours to tend, nurture and guide. Freeing me to learn and love. You gave me much and exhilaration of emotions set me free. My wings stretched and my heart soared as I accepted you. I leaned on you ~ depended on Your strength to help me move on to the next level that life offered. I asked you to give what may not have been fair to ask. For the corners waited. Our actions showed our trust and caring, but we did not know. The past is never past; it is always carried in us. Together we work, and talk, and fight, and cry, and heal. The pain spills from one and is shared and felt by both. Together we move as two becoming one ~ helping each other. Man and woman. My tears burn and in my silence I break, only to heal again. I know I have pasted myself together with glue and love. I know the walls have cracked and will be repaired again in time. The corners of my mind have reached out and hurled memories Of what I once was, now I remember I am not her and you are not him. My joy will grow as my freedom envelopes me, but first I must trust. What kind of woman am I to have allowed others to treat me so? Now I know. I am a wonder; I am love; I am giving; I am trust ~ The depth of my knowledge expands and I realize all are not here to hurt me and use me; some are here to love me and respect me. I am worthy of love. God, give me the serenity to change what I can and to learn with love. Please, allow me the time to heal the wounds that scar so deeply. Let me learn that all are not going take more than I can give And let me accept when what is offered is more than what I am used to. Life is a struggle, but my life is this canvas before me. I am the picture I paint. aziza |
