Glitters of Light

you chase
your glitters
of Light

you keep them from me
as
though
I were a thief
and this hurts me
          for I do not steal

for if I were
a thief
I'd steal your feelings of Unworthiness
throw them into the stratosphere
     Pray
     and
     Pray
until they returned
as Unconditional Love

perhaps then
your
Heart would Open
to Me
and I could live
there
in a new way
   ...one
   that didn't
   terrify you
   

you keep me near
only to forget
me
and this hurts me
         for I have a need to be remembered
         and have been used
         tossed away

You chase
your glitters of Light
as though they are the most precious
of metals in the world
...but not all that glitters is Gold



I remain,

Dear Lesléy

Dear Lesléy

It's only been
a
few
months
since you came
to the realization
that
     a
     Sacred
     Romantic
     Love
     Relationship
is the
Most
     Important
Want
     Need
     in
     your
     Life


Dear Lesléy

You
had
Walls
Up
     High
     Walls
that
     although you were tearing down by strength and hand
were a complex labyrinth

     of Fear

     When
     One wall crumbled
     It
     revealed another


Dear Lesléy

You
built
that Cage
stone upon stone
     You
     gave away
     Your Freedom
And
Isolated
yourself
from
Pain
     by Isolating

Yourself 

     From

     Love

You
Are
the
sole
Architect
of
your
Fear
of Intimacy
     The
     Creator
     of
     your
     Loneliness


Dear Lesléy

    I'm
  Sorry
   I did
   that
    to
  You

  You 

 Needed
   Me
    to 

   Take
your Hand

   to

Be Present

   in 

Your Pain

   to

Hold You

   to

Show You

  that  

 Love 

 is Safe

  You

Desperately

 Needed

   Me

   to

Get Over 

 Myself 

my Ego

   so

  that

    I
 could

Feel You

Love You

  and  

Feel 

  Your Love

for Me

  You

Needed

  Me 

  To

See You

     not hide you away

           no, you didn't deserve that 

Please Forgive me

Dear Lesléy

 The
Walls
 Are
Torn
Down

     and falling still

  and

 I am a

Heartist

Treading
Around the Rubble

Ready 

     to Love

Ready
     to Accept Love

 Ready

   to Finally Choose

   Freedom

   and Say

    Yes

 to Worth

Dear Lesléy

...I'm Here


Compassion for Ourselves is the Beginning...what follows after...are Miracles.

I remain Yours,

Lesléy
