We break and we bend
We stretch our skin to be more
To be enough
But it never is
We seek closure behind closed doors
and closed off hearts
We adore you when you ignore us
We always love more , give more
than we get
And oh how quickly
and easily you forget
We stay and we rationalize
We breathe pain and exhale cries
We eat your broken promises for breakfast
Taste your infidelity for dinner
And still can stomach fixing your plate
Yeah the sorrys they come
But they're always too late
They always feel empty
This house feels cold
We laugh like it's funny
But the jokes getting old
The days are getting long
And love is starting to feel
a hell of lot like playing the fool
Because , I mean, if you really love him
Won't you ?
Don't we ?
We break and we bend
We stretch our skin to be more
But what happens when we have nothing left to give,
nothing left to say ?
Do you really wanna know
what it feels like to lose
The Ones Who Stay?

30 Day Challenge: Day Eight
Day Eight: Three things you want to say to different people
I contemplated for a minute what I would say and who I would say it to. There's a lot in this brain of mine. For a moment I thought about the hurt , the abandonment, the pain and wanted to talk to the people who hurt me. But that would just give the past a voice . It would allow the wounds to fester and never heal. It would prove that maybe their right about me still holding on to the bitterness and the hurt. So instead I've chosen instead to speak life rather than give rise to the dead. I've chosen to encourage and uplift rather than point blame and talk about hurt feelings. I've made a conscious decision to love those who are in my life because they want to be , including myself. And I've made the decision to trust God even with the people he hasn't brought in my life. I'm declaring this is my turning point. All I have to do is walk in it. Here I go.
Person #1: Ari ,
1. You are a superstar
2. Greatness is destined for your life
3. I am here to push, drag and pull you across the finish line. I love you enough to see in you what you don't
Person #2: Davenport
1. You inspire me
2. You challenge me to be a better person
3. My life is better now that you are in it
Person#3: My Future Husband
1. I'll never love another human being the way I love you
2. I promise to wait for you
3. Let's make some babies
