Endless Loop

Caught in an endless loop.

Having been told once that I cry too much.

Yet, I’ve heard that if you've lost something or someone that's important to you and you don't cry, then you're not mourning that loss properly, effectively.

When we cry, we mourn, we cleanse, and hopefully we begin to heal.

I do cry a lot, yes.

But, it's always because I’m mourning a loss of something important to me, or even that I sense that loss coming.

Sometimes I'm crying because I know that I'm about to lose something important to me and no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try to hold on, I will lose it anyway.

My heart intuitively knows that it’s already gone, and the grieving process begins long before the action happens.

A friendship is gone.

And now I cry, every day.

I'm mourning and I don’t want to let go.

Unbelievable misunderstanding.

So much confusion.

Promises made then destroyed.

Often my mind rolls over the reasons given. When they were spoken to me, each one felt like a knife plunging into my beating heart. Now when I recall them it’s as if that knife is still embedded in my flesh, and with each memory twists deeper.

It’s a physical pain. And I can only cry, so I do.

  1. Effective. I feel your pain twice as much. I hope time will soothe the loss of your friendship.

  2. I love the structure you used - definitely an endless loop.

    I'm not hiding behind someone else's deceptive gag orders any more, or viewing your work on my phone so you can't see that I've been here and so "the pot isn't stirred up." ;-) I'm done with subterfuge and other people's deceptions.

    We've all lost in this situation, but none more so than our deceiver. We extended friendship and love to a person who abused it all the way around - with everyone. Love being reciprocated isn't a requirement to make our feelings real - to make our pain real when we learn the reality behind the deception.

    As I said in one of my books, love may be fleeting or forever, but it is never wasted. This person's snarky tweets and new minions to deceive doesn't negate the reality of our emotions. No love - love of any kind - is ever wasted ON someone; it can only be wasted by the recipient. And that, my dear, is not our problem.
