A poem of deep mixed emotions of love and hate for oneself and another, pain of abandonment, rejection, loneliness and longing for affiliation, love and being cared for. Raw it cries out to the reader. Powerful.

Mind moving on, heart still waiting
Soman Ragavan said:
There is always a disconnect between the heart and the mind. Each rules in its own way, in its own domain. Quite often the heart overrules the mind. Whereas the mind keeps us safe most of the time, the heart can lead us to trouble. But the powers of the heart are such that sometimes we are its prisoner.

How strange
sorenbarrett said:
The message in this poem strikes deep in anyone who has loved and wondered if that choice is the right one. Wonderful lines that cut to the heart of the issue.
( Wonder if I let go of a fire that would have probably burned me to the ground … just to settle for warmth? ) Perfectly put. The line from the song Bobby McGee I would trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday. A fave

A very encouraging poem finding the best out of weakness\' when one is enamored there are no faults. A cute and tender poem with a message.

You have to value, appreciate and love yourself and be happy who you are before anyone can love you, then they will see the real you, nicely expressed write

People love the illusion of what they want in another seldom what a person really is. You have to love who you are before anyone else can. A heart felt write

Don\'t worry, welcome to reality. You may well be safer knowing this painful fact thus delineated so beautifully above, than fooling yourself decades longer, learning that he was more interested in making you like himself than who you thought you were, 30+ years into marriage, like my best friend seemingly expressed years ago so eloquently. And yet, if you\'re willing to lose yourself to who he is, you\'ll perhaps enjoy the blessing not all do. But that aside, how charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a rather exquisitely haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A powerful poem that many can identify with. Carefully organized and written with great images it rings of authenticity and echoes warning to others. Time for retooling I would say. Loved the poem

Light everything on fire

\'the things I adored
no longer recognizable to my hands and fingers.
I am bitter,
I am hurt\'..
it sounds as though, you\'re fully justified
all you need do, is insure these words
are incorporated as part of your
self-healing journey;
that way, you\'ll insure the pain gifted to you
will fuel your phoenix, re-emergence and evolution
sadly, life is full of inevitable suffering
but mercifully, its rewards are multiplicative
keep believing in yourself
never settle for toxic companionship, break-free
from those choices that perpetuate those harmful cycles;
I genuinely hope you find, your better
keep inking your rage, if it helps
and if this write, was purely an artistic depiction
then more power, to your capacity to imitate yet still
voice pain, so relatable..

Telling a story of life\'s effect on us can be beneficial to those experiencing something in their own life. No book can be read just by looking at the cover. Your cover does not reveal what you have lived through to bring you to today.
I sat down with my mum in her nineties and quizzed her about her life before she met my long departed dad. I was amazed at the stuff she did when she was a young woman and a jolliness came into her as she told of those times. I am so glad for the both of us that we had that conversation.
