Have you ever wondered why it seems as though love gives you wings to fly? Why is it then that like a deflated balloon, love thaws and leaves behind shadows of memories? Why are we so afraid of the most powerful gift of all?

When love hurts, is it still love?

-1- When a man loves his woman, he would fight all of hell and a hundred demons for her if need be.
When a woman loves her man, she would trade her soul with the devil for him if need be.
A mother who loves her child would run into a house on fire to get him or her out without

What do people say have to say about you? Some good, some bad, some true, some outright lies, and some in-between grey shades? While the perception of others is important for your reputation and in some ways, your self-esteem, there’s an even more weighty opinion... Yours.

1 What do you say about you? In the middle of all the noise, and over all the voices you hear, is your voice loud enough, strong, and steady? Or is it drowned out by your insecurities and fears? Are you ever good enough to be loved?

To my abuser’s victims
I have seen the despair in your eyes
I have heard the fear in your voice
I have walked the dark paths that you did
I have known the emptiness in the dark

I have bled through your cuts
I have shed enough tears to make a hundred streams
Yet I struggle to wash myself clean of these memories
Haunting, taunting, whispering in the dark
