Poem
we shelter our hearts to walk away, instead of dealing with our yesterdays, past and gone, we believe its done, but we have not faced what its undone, to our hearts and our minds, what we've ignored to face, because the ignorance took us to a better place, a place of denial, a place of retreat, but in that retreat only lied utter defeat, in pain it relented to face its truth, the agony of it all froze them to move, no more pain! please! as they throw it all down, they never stopped to turn around, to move forward and ignore it will wipe out the cause, while voices ring its over the past is gone, retrack, retrace...what did i miss? in the painful sting of loves one last kiss, what brought me here? who took me there? why was i so unaware?? did i numb myself away to feel? the reality of what was real? the face i could not stand to face, the heart of what i could not erase, but here i am as years unfold, now just seeing the path of old, no one wants to see or hear, they will all say "let it go, my dear", but in that moment i want to know, i want to see what i could not let go, i want to be fully healed, no half-hearted knowledge here, i want to see before i let go, so i can move and my heart can grow, don't stunt my growth with empty lines, please don't push me to compromise, for in true honesty we love more, the heart that pushes us to endure, to shake us awake, to show us love that is real, anything less is a plot to conceal, to cover up the pain to hide, to cover my ears and blind my eyes, to forget to bring me to content, but at the moment i would like your honest intent, always with honesty we will see, that it is not always about just me, God will always open doors to show, what the other also needs to know, when i fuel you, you fuel me, its his way of placing us where we're meant to be
