Deceitful Heart

When we think about losing that one person who means the world to us we become paralyzed.

We forget how to breathe, how to sleep, and how to live.

We lose ourselves because we allowed that one person to become our whole world, our identity.

The worthless feeling we had before their existence in our life comes back.

Our eyes remind closed because its the only way we can avoid reality.. The reality that they aren't and never were good for us.

We deny ourselves happiness and accept mistreat and pain, but why? aren't we worthy of so much more?

The blindness that we carry with ourselves is so amazingly twisted, we know what we deserve but settle for less.

Our biggest problem may be that we don't listen to our own wisdom, but rather trust our own hearts.. We sit there hoping that things may change and that heart breaking cycle ends, but haven't you heard that our hearts are wicked and deceitful?

Don't keep those wide eyes closed for so long... it may cost you more then you may know.

I don't know where you are in your life but its a good space to wright because I believe the questions you ask yourself are what makes your writing so intensely beautiful. I love that you aren't afraid to challenge a subject especially love.

Thank you very much! Your comment put a smile on my face because that is very true.. A lot of the things I write about have to do with personal experiences. I like to label my life as Beautiful complications... Why? Every complicated hardship I've been through has turned around for the good :)
Once again thank you for your comment!

That is so true, we always do that. But then if we didn't we will never find teh one that is worthy of us so we have to go through and face all the heartache and be strong enough again to find love and try find the person who is worthy of us and what we have to give/share

[Daniela Diaz]

Yes thats definitley life....
But we have to come to a place where we realize enough is enough. Sometimes that takes long to realize.

So true. We give our self worth away to the unworthy and feel like the cycle is never going to break. This time it will be better, we delude ourselves, but the simple truth is it never will unless both parts are equal. We can accept all their flaws, but so mist they accept ours. I have yet to meet anyone perfect, but I have met lots who thought it.
Heart felt and poignant words, beautifully told.

Thank you!
Many of us fail to realize that it's indeed a cycle and we end up destroying our understanding of what it means to value yourself and respect yourself... Many times like you said we give ourselves to someone who isn't worthy of us.

And then it ends badly and self loathing rears its head. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. I know that applies to me.

and that's definitley the sad truth... We are so harsh to oursleves, but we all sooner or later come to realize how much of a value we are.
