Not Funny at all

my heart hurts

my heart hurts



my heart hurts

my heart hurts


Isn't it funny --not funny at all-- how our hearts can make everything hurt?  My breathing is labored.  Anxious.  High.  Fast.  Troubled.  My heart beats like a hummingbird and slows to a crawl.  Eyes tear up.  Body aches.

There are emotional knots

being

untied.


And it all hurts.


It hurts because I Love him.

Understanding

Understanding hits when you least expect it.

Sometimes.



Is it possible that a relationship can cloud your thoughts?
Can there be some sort of mental block that occurs?
A shroud of black mist, perhaps, that only lifts when you have said goodbye?

When you have finally

let

go?


Letting go is not easy.  It is painful and harrowing and traumatic.

Shattering.

Horrifying.


And yet... perhaps it is for the best.  For both of us.

Perhaps the shroud has blinded us both.

Held us both back.

Confused our minds and hearts and wills.


I don't like this.

Not one bit.


So why, in the morning after, am I suddenly hit with such profound understanding of what I was trying to grasp for three years?

The understanding has only come

only come

when we are apart.


And that sucks.


Because it could have been great.

Would have been great.


We were set to change the world.

Together.


So it doesn't make sense to me

why we have to be

apart.


But who said life had to make sense?


No one, really.


Especially not me.
