Like hot summer nights
I still await your return
For our denied love.

The Complicated Expression of Love.

I have concluded that my life is absolutely dominated by the meaning of love or maybe it's the feeling. Not just romantically but every form of love there is to exist. The warmth, and need for love constantly draws me to believe that I can't function without it. I struggled with the meaning of love for years. The confusion I faced in my relationships always made me question the validity of my definition of love. I used to hear that you can't define love but what if there was a more straight-forward definition that most of us overlook. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 says, " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." What if we were to cultivate these traits within ourselves? I think doing tha...

All for Love.

The surge of unknowing that dwells deep within my spirit as I try to assure myself that I am making the right decision in choosing you. The hurt and pain that follow, and choosing to love again. Choosing to open myself again to the torture of emotions and all the feelings that come with the desperation of being and falling in love.

I wake up. I have another headache today, this one is worse than yesterday. I took the pill and it still isn't easing up. For breakfast, I wonder if I should just get drunk and pass out again. Maybe that will take the pain away. Seems like the best option to me. I wake up. When was the last I had been outside, my room needs to air out, it smells awful. I can't bother to clean it today not feeling it. The ceiling is leaking again. I told that damn bastard to give me my money back if he wasn't going to fix it properly. Another typical day in the slums. I'm tired again. I should sleep a little more. I wake up. Ugh, I still have a headache. When is it going to leave? Hasn't it been too long already? Why am I checking my phone as if someone would even reach out to me? I see mother has been calling for days, I wonder if her money ran low again. Damn, she wouldn't be able to survive in this world without me. Guess that means I'll be going back to work. I really did...
