Words.
They have an unmistakable power that is often forgotten and frequently misused.
Whether it be in the heat of the moment or dwelling from pent up emotions, your choice of words have the power to either strengthen a relationship or sever it forever.
What you choose to say to someone today could have a direct impact in what will be tomorrow.
In matters of the heart, it is wise to speak honestly, remembering that there is always a way to remain honest while putting things delicately for arguments sake.
You may not realize it, but your words are powerful and they have the strength to inspire extremely different emotions, as well as reactions.
Words have the capabilities of bringing out pride in those who are stubborn, exuberant smiles in those who radiate joy, and devastating sorrow in those who feel hurt.
Even the most delicate of phrases can be misconstrued and molded into something it is not.
Thus, leaving you with very little opportunities to make it right.
Words.
They can lead to something beautiful or leave behind a complicated mess.
The letters so precisely arranged on your lips have power.
Choose wisely.

Un-requited
So, you have made the commitment.
You have taken the plunge and opened your heart up to Love.
Allowing into your life all of the joys, frustrations, elation, and sorrow that follows.
But as brave as you are to take such a step, Love did not give as warm a welcome.
No,
Love took the best of what you had to offer leaving you with only the hopeful notion of someone else's good intentions.
Love took your most sincere thoughts, the ones that you were so courageous to share, and left behind vulnerability; emptiness; yearning.
With each passing day these feelings grow increasingly more intense.
Burning every ounce of faith you have left until the cinder colored ash is all that remains.
Love; why do so many souls long for the emotion that can leave behind so much pain?

One day
Amazing how ones heart can be broken and still manage to keep beating.
Unfathomable how ones soul can escape the body and yet your still living.
Breathing in and breathing out, but gasping for air just the same.
Your not alive but your not dead either.
You cry but the tears are only released internally; creating a hole that continuously swallows another piece of your emotions until one day, you wake up and find that the only thing you feel, is empty.
Continuing to breath in, but now there is a burning sensation that follows your last breath and swirls in through the hole that has fully encompassed every inch of you.
Somehow, managing to survive in a world of darkness you find yourself praying to one day reach the light.
You don't know if you will ever get there.
You don't know if such a place even exists, but somehow you keep going.
Hoping to one day feel more then you do now.
Hoping to one day make sense of it all and if not, be capable of at least accepting it.
Struggling to understand how, if feelings were ever really sincere, why might they then have come to an end? You find no answer.
All you have is that incomprehensible hope that gives you the notion that perhaps maybe, you can come out of this experience; this long and unbearable trail of an experience, a better person.
A person with more to give then originally given.
But, all of this remains to be seen in a day that is known as, One day.

The Voice
Circumstances change.
Relationships end.
The feelings that once ran true, the ones that seemed so pure are instantaneously swept away into the winds of doubt.
But, once the breeze has passed, the heart stopping shock suppressed, and the unfathomable reality sinking in, all that remains is a mind filled with unanswered questions.
A conscience retracing every effortless step and an aching heart that yearns for a love now lost.
There is a time in all of our lives in which unfortunate events will take there place among us.
They will challenge our strength.
They will feed our weakness.
They will even go so far as to test us in ways that we cannot imagine.
Bending over backwards with every intention to break our spirit.
But, we will not fold.
We will not shatter and we certainly will not break.
For in every corner of unorchestrated events is a melody waiting to be played.
A song written specifically for you, waiting to be sung.
All that you have to do is find your voice.
A voice of confidence, A voice of praise, A voice that will be unstoppable because it stems from deep within.
The voice of the uncompromised strength.
