I see the games they play
I hear the lies they say
I see the tears they cry
I see their ruins inside
I see inside to the guilt of pain
I see the scars that another did give
I know on the outside they still look the same
But I see in their eyes that they don't want to live
Who can explain it?
Who can contest that the world that we live in is one hellish mess?
Give me the tools
Show me the way
Give me strength to reach out and the right words to say
I cannot pretend that the cries are not there
More pain than I can bear
I cannot hide
Show me the way
I see their guilt-ridden eyes
I see they tell themselves lies
I see the hate that is brewed
I see the wreckage construed
But I see through the walls and I see through the hate
I see to the heart where the pain is so great
I see it all,
And I don't understand
Who can explain it?
Who can contest that the world that we live in is one hellish mess?
You cannot be fully present in your loving if you are happy sometimes and sad most of the time, if you are afraid to leave while you are wondering if you are going to get left. You cannot be fully present in your loving if you are wondering why you should stay or how you can go without hurting and being hurt. You are not present in love if you are afraid to tell the absolute truth about who you are, what you need and what you want. Under these circumstances, you are not present in love. You are in hiding!
ReplyDeleteLove does not hide anyone! Love stands tall in the truth of what it is for everyone to see and receive it. Love does not tell half the story, some of the time. Nor does love avoid telling its story just to save time and feelings. Love is respectful, honorable, noble and honest. Love is gentle, compassionate, willing to share and able to comfort. Love speaks boldly yet softly. It reaches far without losing ground. You know that love is present when in the midst of the storm you can find something, some one thing, to laugh about, smile about and hold on to.
You are not fully present in your loving if you are blaming and not accepting your share of responsibility, if you are not acknowledging your part in whatever is going on or your pain about it. You are not and cannot be fully present in your loving if you are not expressing gratitude for all you have received if you are not supporting or sharing your vision for yourself. You cannot be fully present in your loving of another if you are still making excuses for not being present because you are probably in a great deal of pain!
Until today, you may have made excuses for not being fully present in your loving relationships. Just for today, be devoted to being fully present in all of your relationships. Share the truth of your thoughts and feelings. Share the truth about yourself.
