opened doors too many to choose to walk through
and now having chosen and went through, the door closed
and in so doing another door opened to an eternal horizon.
Why do I have to force people to love me?
Tell them to care about me
Why don't they just do it themself
Am I really that hard to love?

That in all these years
I never once felt love
The way I loved—
Deeply, passionately and endlessly

But it was just who I am
Filled with love
Without ever being loved

Sometimes I feel cursed
The curse of always being loving
But never being loved
Like i read in books
Like in the movies i watch
That kind of love never found me
Even not in my own family

Youngest but never loved
Told to be more
Like their older child
But never themselves
I was never anyones favourite
They never came to me
When their life got hard
Or when it was fun
cant anyone just love me as a friend or a lover

water filled
a river

you a small pond
splashing around

your heart sending ripples
all the way to the ocean
all water on Earth is recycled from the very beginning to now, including ourselves
I truly want you to change,
to transform—
but not for me.

For you.

I want you to truly find peace,
for your mind and heart
to align
in a way that you are whole,
complete—
without me,
and without needing
anyone.

far from the tumult
away in solitude

solitude filled to the brim
and running over

love cannot help itself
you are its fulfillment
Maybe this is all
a great illusion of mine—
a dependent heart’s story
I tell myself
just to ease the ache.

But I have been praying.
And I want to believe
God is answering—
giving me wisdom,
guidance,
clarity.

That our marriage
still has a purpose.
That we
still have a story
left to tell.
