Longing for an elipsis, a single moment in which to catch my breath...to regain myself.

I have recently connected with my old online journals- way back from when I was in high school, my first two years of college...etc. I am amazed at how naive, innocent, and protected I was. It makes me sad. It's funny, as I ambled over the two great heartaches of my life-

I've kind of always known I had severe trust issues with men, and recently they have been glossed over with my ever-pressing issues of heart... but reading back through these journals to before, I see that before I even had a broken heart, I already didn't trust easily. Those issues just made my trust issues grow to including my friends. Before- I just had issues trusting men. Now, it seems, I have issues trusting mankind.

I do not like seeing these changes.

I do not like seeing that old Melissa- so sweet, so young, so protected.

Because here I am-

Knowing too much.

The Line Between Ripples and Waves

I've been feeling wonderful lately...truly wrapped in love and finding this new passionate romance with God.  It's extraordinary because I thought I lost that with my idealism.

The problem is that most good days are not completely good.   What starts with a ripple soon becomes a large wave, and I have a hard time knowing the fine line between them.  I don't know how to squelch the waves, jump them, dive under...

And as a result, I often get completely engulfed in them, leaving me waterlogged and overwhelmed.  Dripping with sordid memories of a one-sided love affair...bitter, hurtful comments that replay themselves in mocking tones in my ear...
...and a loneliness. 
A sadness that comes from not being rescued.  Not being wrapped up in woolen blankets and fed hot chocolate.

Because sometimes God rescues us ... but many times he waits to hear us cry out for him- to need him more than we need to feel the danger of the waves. 

And my problem is again- that I often times don't call out for help until the waves are over my head.

How do I see the line between ripples and waves before it's too late to call for help?

The Crux of the Matter

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)


e e cummings


You know- I've been reading a lot of poetry lately- very soothing- very me. This whole journey to myself is so hard- and rewarding...but a new piece of the puzzle came together for me this past weekend.

My friend visited from California and we went to some bars- I met some guys- I felt terribly uncomfortable the whole time, ended up going on a date with this guy I had met a couple of times at this place we used to sing Karaoke. We ended up kissing. I felt horrible later.

I looked up at my wall- with it's bulletin board and all the numbers of different guys from Chicago and I realized- THIS IS SO NOT ME...and it never was. I tried to convince myself that I was this calloused being- that I had gotten rid of all of my gentleness and that I was capable of meaningless connection- worthless dating- casual kissing-

But I am not.

I hate drinking. I hate bars. I hate dating. And I do not like the men that I find in those places.

I am a coffee house bookstore girl. A woman who would rather go to a poetry or book reading than a rave- who would rather visit a gallery opening- a great show or concert- soak in some theatre.

THAT is me. And if I meet guys in those places- GREAT.

But I realize now- maybe too late coming- that the bars- the off-kilter influences of alien substances- the smarmy guys- They are just not for me.

Mr. Right- I will see you in Sunday School.

The Truth About You

I say this as a friend- and not an attempt to flash the lack of your love into your conscious.  I have no interest in flagging you with guilt or ensnaring your affections.  I care about the demise of you.  Your own ruin- I am your true friend.

 

It is this truth that I see dimly through the painted veil.  You are alone…and it is this solitude that draws me to you- beckons me to cover you in my company…to kiss your lips and embrace your pains, and love you undeservedly.  This is truth- that you do not know who you are-

You are the embodiment of complacency- of boredom.  You are bored with life because you have no passion or fervor for it.  You live vicariously through the words and souls of others- playing out upon a screen or page, or drifting intwined in a melody.  But living is something you know so very little.

 

     I would love to breathe this life into you- to give you passion- to give you drive- But you do not know yourself and that is what it comes down to.

 

     You blow your face red in effort to prove to me that you are completely sure of who you are and what you stand for but if this was true-

 

Then you would know what you want.

And what you don’t.

And you would know how to get it- or at least the first steps to take.

 

But you do not.

 

It is as if she stabbed you through- all those years ago- suspended your life in monotony.

 

And you are stuck.

 

Life has no meaning until your vendetta has been accomplished…until she realizes exactly what she missed.

 

But she won’t.

 

And in the meantime- love is dodging for you in several forms all about your head.  I may have been one missile- but not the only one.

 

But your gaze is hard and solid- aimed for one alone.  One who will never love you- one who has hurt and been hurt by you- one you have avenged, but could never let go.

 

I guarantee you this- you will never love if you do not let her go.
