Love and longing

We may love and long

For the ones who can never love us

Was our need so great

That they only could turn away?

Did we have lessons to learn

That made the fall into this pain

Necessary?

Sometimes I am not sure

I know the truth of love

Anymore

Sometimes I fear

The frustration of my own hope

Made my heart harden

Made something deep inside of me

Incapable of love

Some days lately

I doubt everything

Your promises were sweet

And for so long I believed

But now it seems all I can do is weep

And then let go absolutely

From sheer exhaustion

Because sometimes lately it seems to me that

Only angels

Know the absolute truth about

Love

And longing

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

    1. Me too its made my life so difficult between that and the repressed anger people didn’t know what that was about. To have both the fear of closeness and then need to push away (fear of engulfment) which can be counter-productive is very hard. Not being shown empathy leads to what they love to label borderline personality disorder which is really just Complex attachment trauma. I appreciate your kind validation so much. Thank you.

      1. It’s so sad that you have to deal with this, and keep dealing with this. It truly is a life sentence. But just imagine what life would have been like if you hadn’t done as much work. Very different!!! You are an inspiration, and a light to others,
