"....have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

If only I had the answers...


Why is it that some scars simply refuse to heal?
Why is it that some memories return to haunt you over and over again?
Why is it that when you could once feel the pain, you can't feel it any longer?
Why is it that there is always someone around the corner to break your trust?
Why is it that death constantly feels like an easy way out?
Why is it that 'depression' fails to leave it's hinges?
Why is it that you give permission to people to hurt you one more time when they just did?
Why is it that when life just starts looking up you unconsciously shy away from it?
Why is it that you feel lonelier that the loneliest you have felt?

Why?



Why does it hurt so much when the words come from you?
Why does it matter so much?
When words spoken were far but few
For simply for you it never mattered as such

Almost two years and still counting
Only I know what I’ve given up
Been long gone now but my heart continues thumping
After every sore tear filled hiccup
