WHAT IS LOVE ?






What is love?

So that it hurts worse than anything on earth,

that's worth dying for, priceless as life seems,

through the eyes of innocense filled with hopes and dreams,

like the screams of my heartache, ev'rytime I wake,

praying to GOD to get a blessin' for goodness sake.

In these lakes of flaming tears tryin' to make paths clear,

through my world full of confusion from year to year,

yet I hear, only my voice through a silence so loud

consumed by rare moments of peace like a walk on a cloud.

Riding winds that twist and bend cuddling my skin,

in a blanket of nothingness from the places I've been.

Feeling empty, alone and lost as I fade into dust

beggin' to feel the healing power of a delicate touch.

Be it so soft like sweet somethings wispered upon my ear

from the lips of yonder angel I held ever so dear,

yet appears often in dreams that I wish would come true,

because whatever love is I know I need some too.

What is Love?

    I tear up as I read this, and I feel like a blubbering wreck. Love is starting to be a fantasy to me, and only attainable in my dreams. My reality is I have to put love on the back burner in order to be successful but *really* to achieve success for me is for my soulmate to find me. I used to think I knew what Love was, but it was the ideal of love that messed my mind up. I have to pray that I sit and be still, because I am soo sad right now, my eyes sting with tears, and I don't feel like eating. This means I have loved to hard, and need to let up on how I handle relatioships from now on. :-z

    Michael,

    I rarely call friends out, and I do consider you a friend.

    Please do not pity me. Do not carry your heartache and sorrow around like it’s a burden to bare.

    I don’t I never will. I will tell you like it is, brother. The mortgage companies, Obama, and the bank that hold the lien to my truck do not have pity for me and don’t say- “ well she has a handicapped child, let’s let her slide this month on her truck note.

    I ask you not to feel for me. I carry the hardships in my life with pride and honor and I will never feel like I wish that I didn’t have them in my life.

    You have pain from a love lost and I get that, I truly do. Be thankful, raise your head , dust your self off and just accept it.

    Don’t worry about me. I will be just fine. I have lost both of my parents back to back, lost my home due to Hurricane Ike, and I am raising a handicapped child.

    If I lost love, as You have, I would just be Damn thankful that I had f’n had it in the first place and I wouldn’t be doubting my decisions that were made.

    Trust, Love and just be a Great man.

    If you have a chance to show her that you love her, By God ‘s grace, you best do all that you can , because if you don’t, you have no one to blame but yourself.

    try, Just Live and learn

    Watch your enemies burn

    Put on a smile and laugh awhile

    we are not here to walk a mile

    in his shoes or in hers

    wearing cowboy boots & spurs

    Jiggle it and snap into a click

    home is where the heart's mix

    Love her with mercy and give your all

    know your worth and head life's true call

    ~*

    *clicking her heels three times saying " there's no place like home"
