Feeling lop-sided

Look into my eyes... What do you see? 
Do you see what I look like, or do you see me?
Stop, take the time, to hear what I say,
Before you give up and brush me away.
Hold out your hand, and I'll take yours,
To sit and chat for many hours.
I can't stop loving, once I begin,
I'll pour out my soul, if you'd just let me in.
I'll give you my heart, here, go on take it.
I trust you to treasure it, not to break it.
Wrap me up in your strong, strong arms.
Love me and keep me safe from all harms.
Are you willing to take me along for the ride?
I don't look like much but I'll stand by your side.
Just give me the "ok" to come tag along!
Perfection, I'm not. But I'm loving and strong.
My flaws are a part of who I am.
Will you step up to become the man?
I've a big enough heart to take all you've got,
Just a matter of whether you'll let me or not.
So here I sit, waiting. Thinking what could be,
Till you finally decide to come chase after me.

In Limbo

In the event that one should find themselves in limbo is it wise to continue to push forward on a hunch? I mean, how far can we truly go on "gut instinct" alone? At some point in time, should we not be met with evidence good or bad saying that we are heading in the right or wrong direction?

The phrase is always used, "follow your gut." But to what extent is this a wise idea? Following one's gut in the kitchen can lead to all sorts of unhealthy (yet yummy) concoctions! Isn't following your gut simply a statement to follow your desires?

In short, how can we be sure that our gut is feeding us accurate intuition and not just saying that it is hungry?

Old history, old news, old poems and old blues.

Death to our love 

No message, no call. What did I do?

You left me out in the cold… How could you?

The love we had, You hung out to dry.

Broke my heart, And made me cry.

You say you’re done. What about all we had?

Are you hurting, too? Or are you just mad?

Give me a chance. I just can’t believe,

That instead of talking, You’d rather just leave.

I trusted you, And you broke my heart

Gave you all I have, And you ripped me apart

Open wounds, Take time to heal

Hard to believe, That it’s all for real

Can’t fully shake, What you said that day

Like blood on my hands, Won’t wash away

Hard to believe, Just what you’d do

To the only person, Who ever loved you,

Fine, you win. Its over, we’re through.

You killed my love, And killed me too.
