Doing it all...

In this relationship, I am alone With a man who only thinks of his own His words are excuses, empty and thin As he ignores the pain he causes within

I pour out my heart, but he won't listen He only hears his own voice and ambition His promises are shallow and soon forgotten While my pain and frustration remain unspoken

I thought love was selfless, but he proves me wrong With each passing day, my heart feels less strong I crave his attention, his love and his care But all he gives is apathy and despair

I wonder how long I can carry on this way In a relationship where I am just a castaway I dream of a love that's true and pure But with him, I know that's just a lure

So I must be brave and walk away From a man who only causes me dismay I deserve a love that's kind and true And I won't settle for less, no matter what I do.

Growth is a continuous striving of heart and soul where one takes the pain and the other transcends it.

"Three Days Later" Memories are all well and good And flashbacks can excite me And looking back on what we had Reminds me why I love you. The more I close my eyes, my dear,  The more I realize that here I am, and you are not With me, and you are there And I am not.  And though I know you love me so And we are by each other's side  In mind and spirit; what I'd give  To feel you breathe and hear you live. . . . #poetsofinstagram #poem #poetrycommunity #poetryporn #poetry #writerscommunity #writing #heartofpoets #writersofinstagram #writer #writerslife #spilledink #love #thoughts #globalpoetcult #poetsglobe #madeofwords #artisticwritersfeature #poetric #spilledlyrics #poetryisnotdead #theloveinspired #madeofwords #communityofpoets #poetryofficial #wordsbyqueens #wordsbykings #poetsofficial #poetrylovers #poetryislife #poetrybooks (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pGUlyAfe7/?igshid=o1meksrd5w9o

The obsession to capture from the mind hijacks all senses and I'm falling short of feeling it and ultimately losing it

[lettersfromsilence]

It's vital to be rooted in the uneasiness of discomfort, feeling the awkwardness so that the present evolves into stillness, riding on the front wheels of surrender to the future, and the rear wheels of acceptance of the past.

There are days when I begin acting for them, hooking my life to the expectation game where everyone loses.

[lettersfromsilence]

What to do if the person we love doesn't acknowledge?

Just dump the expectation in love. And if it continues, make a conscious choice between self-respect or them. If we chose ourselves over them, just stop expressing to get over that whirlpool and it'll soon unlock doors of self love.

It happens time and again when I cannot dive deep in some cases to reach down to the root cause of indulgence even when the heart knows something isn't right.
