A C On His Heart
He said, "it's like I have a condom on my heart. I don't want it to be there but it's there"
He says he has been through **** in his life,in his relationships
He doesn't have any hope anymore in relationships
So I said to him, "we all go through **** in our lives, nobody has it perfect"
He answered, " mine is worse. Due to that God has made me view relationships as just temporary"
I said, "well I don't think God has done that, I think you yourself made a choice to view relationships as temporary"
He didn't like my answers
He was getting irritated
I felt that he thought I was taking lightly his past relationship experience
He says he has PTSD from it
The last words I said to him before I decided to be quiet were, "God will not give you something that you can't handle"
Every time he is telling about that past relationship experience, I always feel depressed
At one point in our last conversation about it, I just wanted to cut him off and change the topic
But I had to stop myself because I knew if I did that, he would be doing the same to me
See,I have issues too
He is the only person I have that I pour my heart too
He knows my depressing life and stories more than anyone else
He always listens, and sometimes even advices me on how to handle the issues
She came to me and said, "today in our youth class, we learnt about the good Samaritan"
She went ahead and told me the story, which I knew very well
Then she apologised to me and gave me a warm hug
I accepted her apology
And soon were playing with bouncy balls
Every time one of my friends sees me
And I have that smile on my face, she goes "now what? You seem like you have something to tell me"
She knows my life is a mess
If am not fighting with someone,
am either being attacked or attacking
My life is like a theatrical stage full of drama
I tell myself, AM A SAD LIFE
Cold hugs and warm hugs, sums up my relationships
