with You

24Jun08

Now beside my bed I Kneel
I Pray the Lord My Soul to Heal
If God can take away this pain
I vow to love myself again

Now beside my bed I cry
My soul is heavy; I know not why
for whatever mistakes I may have made
My burdens have long ago been paid

I will Will my heart again
to love freely; even through pain
I will Will my heart again
to sing again in gentle rains

I will Will my mind again
to accept love from which it flows
to love myself unconditionally
What’s of tomorrow; no one knows

Now I lay me down to sleep
Although I cry; and though I weep
I’m thankful that should I awake
New beginnings arise with dawn’s day break

This is an admirable piece, bringing tears to my eyes. It portrays very strongly even in great despair, we can still be filled with hope.

The joy and the pain, I’m giving them to you..


of love

Trees begin small. It starts out needing a lot of care, sunlight, water and fertilizers. But once strong roots are developed, they are difficult to uproot. It grows taller and taller, branches expand wider and wider. Over years, the tree is able to cover a wider span, providing more shade and shelter to people and animals. It blossoms, flowers bring nice colours and scents to the surrounding, fruits bring sweetness to people and animals.

I used to think that love grew like how trees do. Love starts small when sparked. It needs a lot of time, energy and effort to grow. Once developed, it begins share the joy and happiness with others around them. Love is difficult to remove when it’s deep.

However I’ve become more cynical as scars form on my heart. Time after time, I found out that love isn’t a fairy tale we grew up to learn. More often than not, the efforts and tears used to plant it doesn’t bear fruits. Love may seem to develop deep roots, but mistakes such as betrayal trust is like a man-made disaster that uproots the tree of love.

Having been hurt by the concept of love, some of us think that we have the right to demand what we want from it. We go around hurting others by craving for the benefits of love without giving our part of commitments or promises to seal the deal. By claiming to enjoy our youth, we embrace what we enjoy no matter that it hurts others or that no future is being promised. We may have declared outright previously, but what gives us the right to deny others of the full love?


feelings

How do I release the pain in my heart? How do I even explain what’s wrong, when my friends ask. Why are you moving on so well? Why does it feel like a repeat of the past?

Tears come to my eyes so easily these days, when the one who has been supporting me is down. I can’t stop thinking, can’t stop getting choked up, can’t stop wondering what it is I’ve done. I had everything in my hands, and I gave it all away when I gave you away. You’ll move on, just like how you did previously.. I’m sure.

But what about me?
How do I deal with your loving someone else..
How do I stop missing you?
How do I stop loving you?
