A Good Thing…

i think it’s a good thing,
how we can struggle in such desperation
for clarity and still never find a way to make
any sense of how they treated us…

i think it means we’re just not capable of
that same cruelty within ourselves.

and i think that’s a really good thing.

settling will always
leave the heart
relentlessly unsettled

codependency
doesn’t keep you warm…
it keeps you from breathing
fresh air

i’m learning to be more careful with
my care full heart, and to care less for
the ones who are careless with it

i think one of the saddest
connections is the rebound relationship…
you’re using one person to try
to unlove another.

so there’s nothing pure or honest
in what that relationship is, or ever will be,
as you’ve carried into it an unhealed bond
to what was.

take time to cleanse, to heal, to renew,
to grow, to become.
