Stop and think

We've taken our sevles to our limits.
Pushed the walls of right and wrong.
Provoking until one of us falls.
Where's the sense in this ?
Neither of us envisioned a relationship like this.
We had a different hope at the start.
 mistakes have shattered us to pieces.
Fully giving are all, with no results showing our pieces have evolved. 
A fight was in our midst.
Built up from all of this.
Predict it.... I wish.
We stood no chance.
Filled with dissapointment and hate.
It took control of us.
The proper emotions showed up to late.
All sides have been shown now.
From the highest to the lowest.
We are tired of feeling numb, and numbing more of what's already been numb.
It's time for us to grow away from this coldness.
To open our hearts to wholeness.
Let warmth in heart defeat our coldness.

◄ A loving Heart
