Love is blind

This is not just a phrase.

It is a reality.

Tricked into the business by the biggest wolf one has trusted.

Conned and deceived.

Manipulated and taken for granted all under the pretense of “I love you.”

I am deeply irritated that people don’t know what this word means.

I am deeply annoyed that one would awaken a woman’s love only to feed her to the wiles of the Devil’s hounds.

I am beside myself that every time they showed you who they were you didn’t believe them.

I am taken aback by your lack of trust in your instincts because you loved them.

One of the things that I have realized is we sometimes pass this word around to get what we want.

Why not leave and never return after you have done your damage baffles me.

Prolonging your tenure and keeping someone captive when you know fully well you want nothing to do with them.

Tried and tested.

Battered and bruised.

Hungry and defeated.

Tattered and worn.

Beaten and forgotten.

Weak and undermined.

Life has given battle wounds where none should’ve been given.

Life has given scar wounds where none should have been dealt.

Taken for granted at every turn you wished upon a star and cried yourself to sleep.

You prayed for the day it didn’t hurt anymore.

You begged Him to take the pain away, He could’ve.

You tackle the storms of life and listen to people call you strong.

You take every chance because your future hangs in the balance.

You prepare for your fate and brace yourself to go to an unrelatable place as life drains the silk from your words and milks the life from your bones.

But then you hear a voice, the only voice that you have been fighting to protect.

The only voice you have been working hard for, your day changes, and your dark moods become bright.

So be grateful, for that voice that keeps you grounded, and don’t let the other throw you off course because plenty of them are demons in disguise.

Take hold and ensure the braces aren’t breaking so as the strong winds blow you, raise your sails high and watch your ship soar.
