sometimes the words I use to express my journey need some decoding, while this blog likely wont decode me completely...I intend to have it scratch the surface atleast. there are simply points in my life I find hard to say, something about loving, trusting, depending on and/or relying on people makes me an eirie kind of weak in the knees and sick in the pit of my stomach.
welcome to the rantings of a jaded soul far too early in life.

Putting the Past Out There

I gave more than I had to give,
and you gave less than I need to live,
you took more than you knew you did,
but getting it back will cost more than I have to bid.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I hear
Bitter sweet rhythmic melodies
Promises made
Hearts left untamed!
---------------------------------------------------------------
I wander off to find that place in your mind;
Where love has never been lost,
Where hurt has never been the cost.
I wander off to find that place in your soul;
Where there is a rip you’ll let me mend,
Let me care for it, for you until the end.
I wander off to find that place in your heart;
Where you hide all that you hold dear,
I only wish to see your treasure have no fear.
We wander off to find that place in this world;
Where you and I can learn to trust,
Baby this is something we must.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm flirting with danger and crushing on fantasies, but I want to fall in-love with reality.

    I really like the first and last poems. The first one speaks to the unbalanced love and relationship. I want to ask.. what was the bid? your heart?
    And the last piece is what many us- humans feel about relationship all likens even the friend kind. We are so vulnerable and subject to human frailty when it comes to matters of the heart. Q

    The bid is what must be wagered to get one's heart back, from that which they have put it fully into, the person whom they have given it to entirely.

    The idea is that through giving more than wise and the taking of more than can be managed one's heart has been given to another and the way in which it can be gotten back will take more than what its owner can give because more than what was wise has already been expended into this relationship. Basically,one is too broken by the knowledge that their heart was entrusted to someone who could not care for it when they did not necessarily intend to give that person the power to begin with, to deal with the putting themself back together and drawing it back into their own possession.

    Wow so many words to explain so few.
