despite our coming to a conclusion
I feel depleted , drained.
What , subconsciously , I'd been creating in the place of his warmth has only just come down on my body , dusty and grey and confused.
Unsure and faintly inflamed.
A relationship is co-creation and his co-creation was not there, yet
he still wanted this, he said so-
but did not act
for the longest of times,
claiming effervescent bubbles of gentle love
although mostly absent
on following through
with sweet poems, loving messages upon awakening, star dappled gifts sent in the mail, making time for meals eaten together, making efforts to watch shows together or the million trillion ways of showing love that are material
or even hearty warming energies were lacking...seemed like he was so shaken ego scared of my anger or upset
that there was no space in his mind
for anything else but self-preservation and lending the space for tears like old friend or new. (It's his forte and I'm grateful)
It's taken it's toll on me, my relentless loving , my relentless sharing , my relentless attempts at sustaining something, I'll need you to help me if we are to maintain.
I don't mean to sound centered on only my happiness, we must all grow, we all
have points to work on especially me
so know
my compassion is overspilling for this creature, this man.
We used to see ourselves as great spiritual warriors
our cosmic spirits calling lessons,
being sacred mirrors for each other
but now he just say's "kind of".
I'm offering that mirror space so you can work on yourself, DEEPLY. DARKLY. IRRATIONALLY. So those demons he hides of cold, calculated expression , detachment and avoidance , fear driven reaction and compartmentalized childhood may have a space to be worked through in a safe space,
to see the light of day and become what they were always meant to be; power, rocket fuel , abundance , freedom in motion and more!
But to have that space practically ignored,
renders me wise
that it is possible for hearts to be hurt over time, corroded , worn down because, sweetheart , that's my gift, that's my expertise , that's my joy I would love to share with you.
When co-creation is no longer co-creation is that still a relationship? Is that still a love story unfolding? Is he still serious about loving me or is that Fool Bull so intent on tripping himself up that he is only willing to create an existence for himself where he ultimately is jaded, licking his wounds, detached from his environment, alone. Because I want no part in that, save the holding of space for tears like an old friend.
I want to be in a relationship where love is mutual and expressed and shared, where there is balance of weight, both material and spiritual. Where I can explore my feminine divinity held in the space of masculine divinity where in turn he is held in my physical space, where in turn I am held in his physical space, where in turn he is held in my feminine divinity to explore is own masculine, where we are able to dive deeply , safely, knowing we have each others backs. Where we can explore being alive with love riding high on our chests and dancing the beat of our bones as we learn who we are and why we are here. As we work with our hands and stomp with our feet, we tend to the earth and care for the people around us, we make the most of our lives and take action where we can
to be bold , brave and free. Maybe we'll lounge around and watch tv or maybe we'll talk small talk sometimes and that's all part of it .
What do you want? Do you desire me anymore ? I've missed seeing you look at me with that breathless warmth , that high tide sensation.
To not give it everything we have would be an insult.
To not die laughing , colorful with our selves, knowing the light and the dark, knowing we were not victims of fear but walkers of courage and joy, having moved out species to new experiences, moved ourselves , been true to ourselves our real real selves,
been real true
to not live like that
would be an insult
to all those who have come before
all those who have yet to arrive.
I've watched, I've listened, he takes his time to come to action
he's slowly moving through, taking actions in what he see's best
he's trying in his own way to be the truest him he can be
it is noticed and I appreciate the ways you have been there
yet he takes his pace above all others and gets comfy in patterns
that is all right
in and of itself,
but when there are others with you on that journey,
perhaps it is a time for you to know yourself better and that's well and true, best known alone ( in my opinion)
but I say to him, to you,
decide Fool Bull,
if you want to be a lover or an old friend
and make it happen.
It's ok if we are neither,
it's ok if we are to let these tangled stories be claimed by the wind
we've come a long way
no shame in letting it end
no shame in changing our forms and bursting out our love in new ways
no shame in what has happened
we must all change and grow, move with me or don't
but know,
I have loved you every moment.
