I had a nightmare I was in love.
Floating on clouds in love,
until it's revealed to be a mirage.
The realization knocking me off my
cloud head first to the hard ground.
I grieve while trying to resuscitate
my heart through other people.
But in the end I write a eulogy
in the form of poetry as I burry
it six feet under.
Then I wake up realizing it
wasn't a nightmare.
Just a memory I experienced
while asleep dramatized.
I resuscitated my own heart.
Each beat a reminder that
the greatest love is yourself
not another body next to you.
Another soul can't love
you the way you can.
The only love that could
resuscitate my heart.

- Comment from author about the poem: Heartbreak and learning to heal is a universal experience of life that connects us all. If you would like to please share your healing journey or parts of it in the comments. If you are going through this right now please feel free to share and express yourself in the comments. I hope you find comfort in knowing through self love you can resuscitate your heart returning it to it's pure vibrancy again. I promise because I have lived it. Another person can't heal it in the way you wish it to and the relationship with that person won't be the love you crave until you heal yourself. Don't settle for less than you truly deserve. There is so much better out there if you love yourself first and learn to chose different for yourself. Chose different by learning to be alone for a time to learn yourself. Then with time a relationship won't matter because you have all you need within yourself and friends/family who support you. It's so much better even though it doesn't sound that great right now. But one day it will and just when you learn to see the abundance, there he/ she will be. The love of your life that you are deserving who treats you the way you deserve. The way you have learned to treat yourself the right way. You attracted the person as your reward for self love and healing.

Superb content once again
When in a similar situation it was only then I realised I had time to work on myself
I found counting my blessings to be a great tool in this process
I'd do it alphabetically and never get anywhere near z before being uplifted
I truly no longer care how other think of me or need validation
Don't mean to sound like I don't appreciate others and friends
Just don't need it back
I can't change anyone but myself
Nor should I try
Support yes change no
Sorry for the speech
An interesting subject for me
Your notes were as poignant as the write
Cheers
Awww thank you for the kind words especially the note. I was afraid it was too much but then I thought no what do I care when I felt like someone out there needed to see it. I loved reading the snippet of your journey! Yes I speak words of gratitude everyday too. At first I had to remind myself and sometimes wasn\'t always consistent with it but now I trained my brain to do it like knowing to breath in air. I know what you mean about not needing validation. It\'s something somedays I backslide on but not that often. I am human after all lol. Not needing validation is what I felt and I know many others would agree is one of the hardest steps in this journey. It\'s so ingrained in us through our wounds often from childhood and just society as a whole. Anyway before I turn this response into a novel thank you again for sharing your perspective I really love to read it! Also your speech is much appreciated and anytime you want to write one in the comments section your forever have my permission to! 😊
Hi destiny, as you know, I was once so deep in love with someone that was a friend of both of us,I left home to be with him and ended up betrayed and broken,
But I never lost faith that God had a plan for me and eventually He led me to the man I'm with today, and led me to happiness that I never even dreamed of, hang in there girl,
A part of me will always love this other man,
But my heart belongs to the love of my life that I'm with now
