"You are loved" (?)

Emotional ramblings. Something written out of spontaneity to clear off my mind and heart.

Do not believe for a second, if someone tells you "you are loved". 

To be loved is something very few people deserve and even fewer who know how to hold on to that feeling. And no matter how hard you try, you always end up hurting the ones you care about regardless of your intentions. And when that happens, do not believe for a second that they'll understand your reasons. The phrase "out of love" is a lame excuse and certainly delusional and even harder to make someone believe that. 

So, do not, for even a second, believe if someone tells you "you are loved". 

'Tis a ruthless world we live in and we're all the sum of our selfishness.

Thank you for sharing your heart, whether recent or of the past. I feel your resentment and pain. We all experience devastating emotional reversals.....and we are able to relate..... This too shall pass.

From the

Our dearest treasures come in varied form.
Like inclinations of our heart, that warm.
With greatest attentiveness they are worn.
Not often do they come, within a swarm.
~*~
Precious keepsakes often easily break.
Like loss of temper does our peace forsake.
Cannot our heart of glass, withstand a shake?
Deceits cause ripples, on that placid lake.
~*~
Empires crumble under moral decay.
Barbaric scruples then come in, to play.
Angry reactions cannot see the way.
Without true wisdom, we have lost our way.
~*~
So when we build our house of many cards.
We dread the dark tempest, out in our yards.
We might recall the wisdom of the bards,
when all our great treasures have turned to shards.

You're right, it does pass but not without leaving scars...
Thank you so much for your words here and for sharing those pieces. Greatly appreciated, sir.

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

You are most welcome.

This sounds like there might be some deeply-rooted disappointments associated with your message. I feel it's human nature to place expectations upon those we love, but I also believe this pesky human tendency can lead to the downfall of which you write. Humans love imperfectly. But it's still love. Once I accept our broken lovingness, it's easier to feel I am loved by many who are incapable of making their feelings felt! *smile* Fondly, Margie

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I do agree to that. Thank you so much for your insight here, BG. Always appreciated :))

[LazerRays]

Somehow I'm starting to believe this....

[LazerRays]

This poem is raw with emotion. Do you know what you just did? You got me to tear up a little bit! I can feel the hurt and betrayal you put in this. a true poem is better than a fake one.
This was certainly a true one
(btw, youre gonna feel like youre not loved, but thats just fear telling you youre going to get hurt)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah, I'm sorry to have done that to you. And yes, it did came out of being hurt, something I'm kinda ashamed now of posting here, I'll probably delete this one soon.
And yes, I know, but still hurts to know you're not loved by someone you want to be loved by...
Thank you for your kind words here. Always appreciated. x

[LazerRays]

NO! NO! NO!
Do NOT delete this! Uh-uh!!!! Nope! Nada! Non! Zilch! Zero!

You should NEVER be ashamed of feeling! Feeling is what. Makes. You. Human. Its what divides us from animals! We feel! We have emotion! Its not to be ashamed of! Silly! Leave this up! When i read your new poetry its like looking at a mask of you. A fake. The melissa vandella to avril lavigne! Is that what you want to be? A numb mask staring back at reality? No! No! No!
Who do you think you need to be? A queen with such 'grace' and 'etiquette' to please everyone? Dont be a yesman. Dont be the person who acts different to gain popularity. Just breathe. Relax. Take off the mask. Let the emotions return. Trust me. It may hurt, but like rubbing alcohol, its for the best. You need to face it before it rots. Thats why i had to go to a crisis center! Because i hid emotion and it got so bad! Release the pressure before you explode!

Life has no guarantees. I have been there when love seemed absent from others or myself. There are good days and bad. Our motivations and intentions can point us in a good or bad direction. I've had years I could say life sucks. I can still say that from time to time. But we are what we are and it's up to us to decide what are days contain. In other words, I don't understand life and never have. haha

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I suppose you''re right. It's a matter of an in between situation for me as well.
Thank you for your thoughts here, Tim. Appreciated.

[Lyn Anderson]

Words are just words. Don't believe them. Believe in what is done, and words cannot undo wrongs. Only action ... pain and longing for clarity ... accept the hand that reaches to hold you, not the mouth that offers to console you

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm slowly coming to terms with that, yes. Thank you so much for your insight here. Very much appreciated.

[Lyn Anderson]

You are very welcome. Sometimes across worlds and oceans kindred spirits touch. :)

[Island Hippy]

A strong undertone of pain & bitterness and you are absolutely right to write these feelings down or at least how they have affected you. That is a therapy of sorts I would think. It also makes me quite sad that you have been impacted in such a way. All these feelings/trials do eventually pass. There is a healing in the ‘letting go’ eventually you’ll understand that.

I mean no disrespect but you are still young in the world my friend, sometimes we feel things with the inexperience of our years - we are yet to develop a type of resilience that really only comes from experiences usually broader than that of our immediate world. You will have moments in life that will knock this one on its a*s because it will be love so deep and real you’ll feel it in your soul. Everyone deserves to be loved my friend!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah Izzy, when I say few people deserve to be loved, it was mainly directed at self than at anyone else. I do agree, everyone deserves that but perhaps you're right too, my mind is mainly fogged by my overwhelming heart lately :x
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here. Very much appreciated. x

Love is hard to define. I learn what love was with birth of first child. Now my grandchildren, I see in their eyes. Love is pain also. When we love someone and lose them. Old heart can suffer. The world we live in can be selfish, but we can know love. A powerful use of words and thoughts my friend.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think the purest and unchangeable kind of love what I've so far experienced is that for my niece and brother. All else seems an illusion.
Thank you too for sharing your thoughts and reading, John. Appreciated.

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked this poem and you are welcome my friend.

[Gee]

Got to disagree Doc. Met my wife 27 years ago, wouldn’t hurt her for the world or her me.
Also depends on how thick skinned you are, your upbringing, your expectations as to what love is, should be.
A sweeping statement based purely on your own experiences

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You do have a point, I agree, it is based on what our expectations are. I always think not expecting is almost impossible though. ..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, Gee. Appreciated.

[Onlyme]

This is so very true. Someone close really can hurt the one to loves them. With a lash of the tongue and a sharp word. Like an instant reaction without even thinking. They just do. More so when hurting or in pain. They do in spite. For self-preserve. Not even thinking about you.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

The trouble with being an empath is that you don't really blame the other one. You just accept what they did to you and try to understand their reasons, be it selfishness on their part. I guess that's what I'm trying to do. ..
Thank you so much for your words here, Dee. Appreciated.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

There are so many days I wish I was not a believer in love....but it never fails to amaze me. From the kiss on my forehead as a child from my mother before bed, to the gentle breath of a lover as he watch me sleep, to my cross ashes on my forehead from my worship leader. I am always surrounded by love. My mother has departed, my love disappeared, my religious faith wained and wobbled...but I am still surrounded by love. So today I share my love with you..believed or not....momentary or for eternity...just because It is free for me to give and every being deserves someone to share it with. Your spirit is such a tranquil beauty....stunning in love.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Your words leave me speechless for a moment here. I wasn't a believer in love but when I did believe, I think I ended up loving the wrong people more...
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here and for the love. Appreciated x

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

may next you think of love as this...love is never wasted. It is simple and kind. It is your gift to give freely, to the world, without want, or need, or reciprocation.....it's yours.
