disrespect

should i be afraid of the consequences of my actions

should i of held my tongue, scared that my words would cut deep 

make you lash out 

we are all human we say things just to get a reaction

i test the boundaries and the level of love and respect you have for me

if its really love then no matter what i do or say should ever give you the right to raise your hands to hit me

as women we allow ourselves to be controlled and disrespected

love should not hurt or break you

you should never be afraid 

you should always feel protected 

by the one you love 

the one you give you mind body and soul to

   

"The more chances you give someone the less respect they’ll start to have for you. They’ll begin to ignore the standards that you’ve set because they’ll know another chance will always be given. They’re not afraid to lose you because they know no matter what you won’t walk away. They get comfortable with depending on your forgiveness. Never let a person get comfortable disrespecting you."

I read your words and wish it could be so, that love would always lift and always give life. But you know so well it seems that what is called love too often cuts us and pulls us down. May you be the one who guides others to see the beauty of real loving.

Sometimes I wonder if there's such thing as real loving but that is just the hurt me, I have been put through some many tests that my whole being is slowly becoming numb.

May you find healing so the deeper places of you, the paths that know real loving is the only true loving may flourish again like meadows after the rain.

Yes, indeed; your whole being becoming "numb" is probably understandable with the lingering impact of wounds from damaging relationships - having left scars.? But, you have managed to keep going; not allowed life's pitfalls to drag you down. So, perhaps see those emotional scars as proof of battles which you've suffered through in the past? But, now follow on through - by healing your weary mind; with a new life journey of new pleasures and excitement? Embrace it, experience it to the max; disregarding any people who frown condemingly or try to drag you down..?

A work colleague of mines - a diminutive man - was physically abused by his wife. She used her considerable bulk to intimidate him and then the hitting started and he left with a broken heart.

The italicised section is so very, very true.

Theres times where our lips just cant be sealed any more and have to release all the tension held back. Why sow them together? Werent they given to us to speak?

[JoceMaria]

It's so much easier to write it then to speak it.
