Cactus & Rose

-

It's not the cactus's fault that you are pricked.
For it didn't choose to be touched.
It doesn't know how not to be prickly.
It is not the rose's fault that you are bleeding.
For its beauty comes with a price. 
It didn't ask you to pluck it.
It doesn't matter how toxic someone is.
Do you love yourself enough to detach yourself from them?

Unfinished

Sadly, this is the moment I know that I will love you till the day I die Even if you would never know it I decide to bury it deep in my heart despite you told me you loved me very much after a few cans of beer and asked me to join you to form a heart with our hands Because I know how much it hurt last time when I offered my heart entrusting you with it after you persuaded me to open it.  It ended up being tossed aside like a used rag despite it was gold Because I know that same smile might not be only for me Sometimes I imagine what it would be like if I met you in our youth.  Would you be willing to talk to me like now? Would you ask me out on a date? Or would you hurt me even more than you did? It is amazing that despite how many women you slept with, flirted with or talked to. You chose to call me, crack jokes, act silly, take me virtually to shop in supermarkets and watch all these videos and planes for hours and hours If this isn't love, then I don't know what love is at ...

Live Without

-
Of all the elements, what can one live without?  Here is the order of elements, from what will impact us the most immediately to least urgent, when one of the them is absent :  Air > Water > Earth > Fire  Air: We die if we can't breathe air within three minutes.  Water: We can only survive without water for three days.  Earth: Earth grows food. Without food, we can only survive for a week. And earth is the ground we stand upon.  Fire: Fire is the least needed element. We can live on raw food and water alone. However, life would seem to miss some sparks or flavors. Fire is the driving force and passion that ignites life.  The order of the elements, from most to least, on my astrology chart is: Water > Fire > Earth > Air  The element of air is zero. It makes me wonder what that signifies if the element is absent in me esoterically, if the air is so important for a living being. It reflects on my struggle with the suffocation and st...

Grieving: Story II

-
I am learning again that if I like something or someone I don't need to own it.  If I see a beautiful rose, I don't need to pluck it off. Even though I got led on to believe that it belonged to me.  I ignored my intuition because of the sweet, enticing words of little substance.  I kept holding onto the thorns of the rose that wasn't mine even if my hands were bleeding.  I kept going back to see the rose day after day watering it and keeping it company but only to find out that it was plucked away by someone else I never knew.  I am grieving for the fond memories and hurting for the excuses, lies and distance.  It stains my love and betrays my soul.  It left a hollow and empty hole in my heart.  The change of heart and the rejection is, in a way similar to the death of a person you once knew  They are no more even though they are still phsyically alive in this world.  But the distance between your hearts and souls are greater than heaven...
