You are a beautiful mess,
 sent to remind me that not all love is broken. You wrap me up in your words like a blanket, 
keeping me warm even on my coldest days. Your touch is sweet.
 Your kiss is soft.
 I have never known a love so gentle. I am vulnerable with you, 
and for once that is okay. You are the poem that I have been trying to write. 
You are exactly what I have been searching for

Did I mention that I could not write a single word of insight for over a year?

[eniivrez-vous]

Oh god, how I wish I could show you. How devastating it was to live the way I was. If you know me a little over a year ago, you would know that I was not any shade of happy. I was angry, I was deeply horrified with the,life I was living, all the while compelling the madness. Though it was thrust apon me, I let it consume me. And that was my mistake. If there is one word of advice I would give anyone, young or old, it is that you cannot let the darkness win. I wish more than anything to be able to plant in you the feeling I had the day it changed. And it wasn't a man, or a job, or some life changing turning point that you could see, and hear and believe in. I want to show you, all the ways I rediscovered myself. The way I backtracked to the beginning and finally understood where I went wrong. No it wasn't instant, there was no miracle, or kind stranger with poetic words. It wasn't a cliché, something I had been waiting for, for years. I remember years ago I began giving up everything I loved, in an effort to gain all I thought I wanted. And so I began to love those things again. That is how it started, a long journey of rediscovery. Now that I can be honest with myself and I have began to come to terms and forgive myself for the years I allowed to be stolen from me, I am blossoming, the sun hits my face and I don't seek out shade. I let it shine down, and I can grow.

The Reasons

Yesterday alone over 13,789 people on the other side of the equator and all

across the world called a suicide hotline.

I’m just kidding. Not because there was some punchline in there to swallow

like a good strong drink, but because the real numbers are probably much worse,

I’ve never been in a healthy relationship with statistics that doesn’t involve

one of us leaving after a plate-shattering, wall-punching argument,

and my hands are shaking as I write this.

So let me tell you something about love:

somewhere next to a fault line in California, a man calls a hotline

and instead of summer rains, a 6-pack of beers disguised as windchimes,

candles that light the soul instead of the room, whatever it was

he was looking for, a voice answered

and gave him one reason to live.

This isn’t the kind of story where the reader gets to know what it was,

but suffice it to say he lived and stayed on the line, and when the next woman

called up, weeping because there were no more kite strings left to lift her up

and the baby wasn’t going to be born after all, the man told her the operator’s reason

and she passed it on to the next caller, a teenager so full of salt & losing all the sugar

that they no longer looked at the Big Dipper

without envisioning it as a noose.

And the woman gave the reason to the teenager,

and the teenager gave it to the caller fourth in line, who just so happened

to be their sister.

Then when the day was done, and the earth had met the sun,

the reason was passed on to me, and then to you.

And this is what I know about love.

I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.
