We all seek love, a cozy home,
Yet some forget what love should be,
Forgetting to care and nurture souls,
The signs of abuse they cannot see.
The lies and fights that two do share,
Can be the start of something wrong,
When one can’t give and one can’t take,
The other one begins to long.
The control and power they both share,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one has all the authority,
The other one will feel so sad.
The constant fear and shame that’s there,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t move and one can’t breathe,
The other one can’t stay too long.
The lack of trust and openness,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t speak and one can’t show,
The other one will feel so sad.
The constant blame and guilt that’s there,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t trust and one can’t forgive,
The other one will feel so gone.
The isolation and disconnect,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t reach and one can’t touch,
The other one will feel so sad.
The feelings of insecurity,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t give and one can’t take,
The other one will feel so gone.
The lack of respect and honor,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t speak and one can’t act,
The other one will feel so sad.
The lack of appreciation,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t do and one can’t be,
The other one will feel so gone.
The feeling of being broken,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t protect and one can’t care,
The other one will feel so sad.
The lack of emotional support,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t show and one can’t hear,
The other one will feel so gone.
The feeling of being worthless,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t reach and one can’t touch,
The other one will feel so sad.
The feeling of being hopeless,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t trust and one can’t love,
The other one will feel so gone.
The feeling of being helpless,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t give and one can’t take,
The other one will feel so sad.
The physical and mental pain,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t do and one can’t be,
The other one will feel so gone.
The silent treatments that they share,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t speak and one can’t hear,
The other one will feel so sad.
The financial control they both share,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t move and one can’t act,
The other one will feel so gone.
The lack of privacy and freedom,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t touch and one can’t reach,
The other one will feel so sad.
The constant lies and secrets,
Can be a sign of something wrong,
When one can’t share and one can’t show,
The other one will feel so gone.
The mental manipulation too,
Can be a sign of something bad,
When one can’t listen and one can’t think,
The other one will feel so sad.

How My Life’s Purpose to Have an Unbreakable Heart Left Me Broken in Life
Ever noticed how people who are afraid of having their heart broken often end up feeling broken? Until recently, that was the case for me anyway. I was always striving to have an unbreakable heart — but never quite succeeded. What did it mean for me to “have an unbreakable heart”? For one, it meant that I was always trying to protect my heart from everything and everyone. I thought I could achieve that by not letting anything or anyone in. You’ve probably heard about the concept of “building walls around your heart”. That’s what I was doing. I built high, wide, fortified walls around my heart — walls that would even make the Great Wall of China look small.
