Don't tell him

 



My baby feels broken tonight What he doesn’t know is that I still call him my baby and that I still watch over him He composed a song and I heard his voice… I wanted to give him one last gift before I said goodbye forever and he gave himself to me became one with the moment at least for a while but then he recalled that I could never be his puppet serve a purpose and he left locked in in his chest and away from his once again neglected mind like tonight… my baby feels broken tonight falls helplessly in love -once again falls helplessly in love with his melancholy… my baby is not broken but I broke myself for his sake why did I forsaken myself? He didn’t break me but I knew how to break myself Why? Because I could make it happen! “What else can I help you with my love?” Yeah I forgot to ask that… anyways life is good and the universe is learning from or tolerating our authentic presence…

I know of not wanting to fall in love. I had to step away from the man I loved. I couldn't stand seeing him as broken as he was... he chose to be the way he is. Your writing helped me remember that I am not alone in the suffering love leaves. Thank you so much for writing. Please continue to use your gift.

Sometimes we wonder why we let ourselves fall in love--though we usually don't seem to have much say-so in it. I suppose that anything worthwhile involves at least some pain. We just have to weigh the pluses and minuses. Enjoyed this prose-poem very much. Thanks.

"falls helplessly in love with his melancholy" never thought of someone falling in love in that way but I think there is much truth in how you have expressed it. Safety can been found in many places of the mind good and bad places. Just make it difficult to reach someone whose lost/in love with melancholy. A heart felt write.
