Promises kept, Promises broken

Promises kept, Promises broken
I promised to love you and have kept it as strong today as it was before you uttered the words "I love you" from your lips
I promised to stand in your corner and I still do
Promises that hurt become promises that are broken

Promises kept, Promises broken
If only the hug you gave before I left could keep its warmth 
If only I could remember the scent that trailed behind
If only I could keep the tears from falling the last time we said "I love you"
If only I could forget what it was like being in your embrace
If only I could forget the source of joy that sprouted each time I was with you
If only I could remember and forget at the same time

Promises kept, Promises broken
Why have you broken your promises?
I still carry that broken promise with me everywhere
It's seen every tear and every plead 
It's heard conversations of many 
And traveled further than it should've
But I've held on to your promise even closer
Hoping that one day it could be restored.

With Love,
Sierra

I wish you chose to love me today.

This is the first. The first of many words I wish I could tell you. The first of many emotions I could express to you. Our time was cut short. We couldn't be the people that we hoped for and searched for. Rather, we couldn't do it together. I have always thought that what we had was impossible to find. God brought us together and nothing could tear us apart. I was wrong. So many things are against someone finding happiness in another. So many things barricade us from the deepest emotions we wish the other could understand. I love you. Those three simple yet extraordinary words could shake the planet and defeat worlds. I love you so much that it pains me to say goodbye. These words that I've held onto from the start all the way until now are words I don't wish to forget but you force me to return them to memories. I didn't have words before because I wrote based on the pain I felt and even the storm in my life that took over I still was at home with you. You were som...

What are the Possibilities of Love at First Sight?

This is where the lie that I was afraid of gradually worsens Supposing I'm just like the rest but concealed for the beauty of your eyes Maybe it's the way I talk or the way I act that creates the push-and-pull effect I'm not the person you know  I don't even know the one you know  That sometimes scares me because I don't know the image of the person you painted in your head  It could've been the side of me that rarely comes out that you fell in love with What are the possibilities of love at first sight? Maybe one in a million to you, but when you explore everything that's to come  You'll compare me with the rest of them  I'm just like any other and don't have much about me  I'm stuck with the person I used to be  In a place I don't wish to be The constant repetition of how much you love me Drives me to insanity, making me think that I have the capabilities What are the possibilities of love at first sight? These feelings that I have, sho...

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...
