Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.



Ok so I started writing this on my mom's birthday but couldn't bring myself to finish it so finally here it is!!!

Happy Birthday Mommy

Today is your 43rd birthday.
I thought it'd be easier by now.
But I think of your pretty face,
And in my tears I drown.
I'm trying to fight through the pain,
The heartache and the fears.
Remembering the good times you had,
In your brief 36 years.
Every time I'd ask
"Mom, what do I get you this year?"
"Write me a poem." You'd say,
And you always held it dear.
I always think of what it'd be like
If you were with us today.
But rather then a celebration,
This day only brings dismay.
You meant the world to me.
I never told you enough.
I miss you more then anything.
Even more when times get tough.
There are so many things I want to say.
So many things I wanted you to know.
I simply wish I would have told you
Before it was your time to go.
I'm trying to smile,
I'm trying to hide the pain,
I'm trying to be selfless,
But all I want is you back again.
So happy birthday mom,
Wish I could say it to your face.
But I know things are better now,
Because now you're in a better place.

The real happy endings come after a story with a lot of ups and downs

She knows strength because you've made her weak. She wants so much more and she's willing to do anything to get it. But she also knows so much pain. And she can't move on. Every move, every moment, every day, every interaction. It's staring her in the face and the pain is lingering in her heart. She tries to fix it any and every way she can. And she can forgive all she wants to but more than anything she wants to forget. But how. She tries so hard everyday to make it better. She knows her many faults and she admits them and she understands. Moving on isn't easy. Forgetting is impossible. It's time to reset. We deserve so much more. For ourselves and for each other. We need to remember that it's not impossible to lose each other. To truly care and fight for each other. Not with each other. We're carrying such a dark feeling around everyday because we thought we were untouchable. We don't love each other anymore. We just stay because we don't know

Because love shouldn't hurt

           I don't even know where to begin. I want to tell you everything but I don't know where to start. Guess I should start by telling you that nothing is what it seems. It hasn't been for a long time now. I just didn't know how to tell you. If you have someone in your life that suddenly stops reaching out first, cancels on plans, or is just all around not themselves, I urge you to reach out. Sometimes someone is dying to tell you but they don't want to admit to themselves because they're ashamed or in denial about what they're going through So here we go.      I am a domestic violence survivor.      I hate saying that. I hate typing it. Hell I hate to think of myself as a survivor.  The definition of survivor is "a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died." It takes me a while to wrap my head around this. I lost a very dear friend of mine to domestic violence. And while I was tryi
