The Passion to Give

Seeing double
Blurred vision
Unexpected
Like all of a sudden
I see two
And nothing is clear
Except
TRUTH

I feel like I am trapped
Pinned down in a spiral of the unfit
Being pulled down in a barrel of the selfish
Because
I am learning
The hard way
That giving is harder for some
Receiving we are all receptive
Without expecting to help
Divide happiness
Peace
And surplus
Instead
In the time of struggle
We latch on to frugal
And in most cases
A blatant unwillingness to be there
For someone else
And I can see color
Even though you all are blurry
And I know that when the tables are turned
Hands are drawn
Palm facing up
Eager to receive
Oblivious to others need
And you will surely see
That
The passion to give
Supersedes receipt

The Happiest Woman Alive

I am happiest when...
I thought I could easily answer
The question
Everyday before
Today
But now I know
Love and happiness lies in you
A love of my own
You show me
The simple things
And life is easy
Still
In your arms
Breath matches
Heartbeat dances
To the same rhythm
Drama aside
Passion multiplied
To easy
You and I
Make me
The happiest woman alive

Chest opened
Heart ripped
Deprived of chance
Opportunity to life
Choice
Now separated from
The possibility
I don't get the chance to cease the moment
Smell the roses
Or lay in your presence
Repeatedly
Because you chose to separate
My existence
From the possibility
Why?
Love is not easy
And being in love is crazy
Emotions strong
Captivating realities
Of the wants
And dislikes
The needs
Desires not alike
But
Preservation of the ability
To come back HOME
Where the heart is...
Home
Where my love is
Home
In the heart
To which you hold the key
And your faith
All I ever want is for you to believe in me
Trust
That I will make it better
Trust that love is all we need to weather
The difficulties
