Even

When I think I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no more steps to take.

No more words to be said

No more hugs to be given.

No more things to be shared or kept from one another.

That is when I know it is time to move on and yet there is a part of me that stayed even when the rest starts to resent everything about you.

I don’t

know how much longer I can wait this out this time around.

I feel like I’m suffocating if I stay here any longer than I need to.

I didn’t think things would end up like this when we first got to know each other but,now I don’t know what to think or feel right now.

I do know I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and no matter how much time I take to think this through.

The pieces of me that were filled with the peace and love of our times together are now replaced with this hollow feeling.

It’s like everything from the last couple years just vanished and what we meant to each other just don’t exist or matter anymore.

Hoping

That the things that happen today.

Are not going to bleed into tomorrow is sometimes easier to hope about.

These moments before you have to go back to being the other person you become once you walk out that door.

Is only temporary and when you come back that person fades away until next time.

You try with all your might to not let both worlds become one for you know there is more anger and drama in one and not much going on in the other.

To have peace and to have understanding with all the people you deal with is nice from time to time.

For your hope to become more than what you thought was possible feels amazing and not a burden either for once feels so good you hope this feeling doesn’t ever go away.

Three Line Tales, Week 159

to a love that is not true just so that your heart would be full for you didn’t want to let go and feel lonely again.

You knew the feelings between you and him were real but, over time things have changed and instead of walking away you hold on so tightly that you lose sight of what you truly want  and what you truly need to be happy and sane.

So I beg you to let go and move on to something better.

Valentine’s day everyone.

To most it’s just another Thursday and you already show your love towards each other everyday.

So keeping loving and brighten each other day and maybe go a little farther and do the same for someone else today.

For not all of us are blessed to have some around to show us such pure love.

Stay blessed and just do your best today to love yourself if that is all you can do.

Every moment counts no matter how big or small they are.

Falling

for you as this time of year

makes days fade away with no stress insight.

I know how I feel when it just you and me and I know that

its more than just a day for me and you.

This is another moment to expand the love that we have together and for us to remember that even the small things are building the larger plan in motion.

I know that my words will always melt your heart the memories of all the things

you do for me continues to melt mine.

And for this day I am grateful for you and when we come together and be one again I know the love will still be strong.

I didn’t

want my life to repeat what I did or happen to me in the past.

I want things to be clear and so that every step I take  I knew what I could control.

I didn’t want to keep saying yes to everything because I could.

I just want to say No because I mean I can’t do it.

For I know that I have worked my body a little too hard and so I will be sore.

I didn’t want to know the truth even though  I know it’s best for me if I move on and not stay here in this place.

My peace has shattered and my mind is fighting to stay alert but, it’s a fight I can’t keep holding at bay.

I had known the truth

maybe than I would have picked a different path.

So much going on it feels like a maze of stuff no one wants to work through.

Because, it feels like your working through someone else’s issues when you can barely deal with your own.

The light of day is shining down on you when you wake up in the morning and you know that it will all workout in time.

You don’t give up even when you know everything feels like it is all sacked up against you.

You raise up even though you know the battle end of you is just started but, you know that if you made it this far than you can suffer just a little bit longer to make it to a better place and see and feel no experiences.

Every

moment is precious

and yet there is always someone taking stuff for granted.

Every decision sometimes takes time to decide on but, some

just come to your mind and you jump without thinking it through.

You want to go through life not just affecting your life but others as well.

I know that we are all different and some of us work so hard that at the end of the day

when we hit the sheets we will have used up all that we had for the day.

We have our moments when laughter is around and joy is just shining so brightly through you.

All the stress just melts right off your shoulders and you forget that you’re at work and not just hanging around with some good friends.
