Can Not Love Without Being Broken

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Part of my attraction was how reckless you are. For a while your wild and uncontrolled ways seemed cool, sexy and exciting. Now after giving you my heart I have come to see you clearly as irresponsible, thoughtless and out of control.  I’m scared to leave you. W.T.

We cannot love a person with an all accepting,
transcending and encompassing love
without being hurt somewhat,
without being disappointed,
without being failed of our expectations.
We cannot love without being broken,
yet we cannot continue in love
without being stronger than our brokenness.
From “Mend My Broken Heart” by Jocelyn Soriano

A Searching Heart

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I have found love and wallowed in its joy and luxury. I have lost love and been swallowed up by its grief and poverty. Experiences with loving caused the fear of it grow, but courage to embrace it grew more. Knowing the risks does not slow a searching heart. B.P.

Beauty shines brighter
in the heart of him
who longs for it
than in the eyes
of him who sees it.

Stay With Me

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Why I never told you the full truth seems so foolish now. I was fearful to speak; afraid you’d run away if I said I loved you with every milligram of me. Like a flower yearns for rain I long for you. I want you. I need you. I love you. Please don’t go; stay with me. H.N.

I’m sitting there waiting for you;
Waiting… hope by hope.
Deep inside my heart, I’m in pain
Because I really need you to be by my side.
REALLY! I’m not lying to you
I don’t want you to leave.
Even though I always said
That you can leave.
I’m lying to you.
You’re my everything.
I really love you.
I need you for every part of my life.

Are You Sure You Love Me?

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Did you just get tired of me? Our life was peaceful, loving and happy. Did you get bored? Is that why you left me for someone else? Now you say you made a mistake and want us to get back together. How can I trust you again? I don’t think I can, at least not now.  G.L.

Relationships are mysterious.
We doubt the positive qualities in others,
seldom the negative. You will say to your partner:
do you really love me? Are you sure you love me?
You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts.
But you never ask: are you really mad at me?
Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you
don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true.
We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.
Christopher Pike

I’m Through

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I want to be with you, but I’m afraid of getting hurt and because of that, I end up getting hurt more. I sit here and say I don’t care about you and I’m not going to let you hurt me, and just by saying that I know that you already have. It’s not your fault, it never is. It’s me. D.J.

I’m through with romance,
I’m through with love,
I’m through with counting the stars above,
and here’s the reason that I’m so free,
my loving baby is through with me.

Dogs of Love Are Barking

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Would letting sleeping dogs lie have been best? It’s too late to wonder. The dogs of love are barking and only time will tell who gets hurt. It’s unavoidable someone will. A mirror reflects to me the most likely, but I won’t accept it unless reality leaves no other choice. S.B.

I hate to see the one I love
happy with somebody
but I surely hate it more
to see the one I love
unhappy with me…

Because You Love Her

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1My friend said, “you really love her, don’t you?” An answer echoed in my heart before the words “very much” fell from my lips. My friend responded “she’ll probably break your heart into a thousand pieces”. I said “I know, but I’m willing to take the chance she won’t”. L.A.

No matter how many times
I tell you she’ll break you heart,
or how many times she does it,
you’ll never give up.
Why you ask?
Because you love her.

Fearing the Things that Make Me Happy

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I don’t reveal some of what I fear most. I work overtime keeping them hidden and veiled. I walk around all day fearing the things that make me happy. I have been doing that for my entire life. It’s crazy that I pushed you away because I am afraid of losing you. V.T.

I’m so confused…
I mean, I want to let go…
I want to let go of all this pain,
but I’m afraid I’ll go insane…
he may come back.
I have some hope,
but with everything else,
how can I cope.
I’m going to let go,
but if I wait and see,
will he come back to me?

Lock My Heart Up

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I wanna believe you’re a perfect guy and everything you seem is true. You’re that book, with the pretty cover, that I just can’t wait to get into. Now I’ve read far enough into you I can’t put you down, I fear there will be a twist and by the last page I’ll be heartbroken. E.O.

Dont-fall-in-love

You have something that is mine;
You took it all, not just part;
It was very close to me, now it’s gone;
That’s right love, you took my heart.

So lock my heart up tight;
Make sure no one can take it;
Don’t let it out of sight;
Love, please try not to break it.
