Heartbreak
There is no ecstasy greater than heartbreak.
No pain greater than resisting it.
If you can’t see this
Tell me how you know the difference
between thinking you are in pain
and being in pain?
Protecting ourselves.
Doesn't make our release a jail.
It just convinces us we are locked inside.
This moment can be a turning away.
A short term savior
that leaves us wanting.
Or this moment
can be a relished heartbreak.
The unbearable opening into pleasure.
Both paths ache.
One festers
One heals.
We know where we are most alive.
We know nothing is required.
Look into my eyes dear one.
See this love.
If we are angry or sad
this love persists.
Why look away?
We have been pushed off the cliff.
Pretending it hasn’t happened
won’t teach us to spread our wings.
