Black Poetry : Scrutinizing heart...

Sistah Dear,

There is nothing wrong with a little scrutiny, it's what guards
our heart from further pain. The problem comes when the
scrutinizing becomes paralyzing and your defenses are up
at ALL times....even when it isn't necessary.

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.....gurl...
"give it one more chance before you give up on love...memba that, Sis"


A heartfelt piece....


epiphany:heart:
 
Coco - The scrutinizing heart is a serious pump as your words indicate. When hurt, it's human nature to set up defenses to protect from the pain, which is good. Enjoy the protection and relish it. However, I agree that there will come a time when you must rejoin the process of living. So don't build a cage that keeps others out while simultaneously keeping you in. Living is an interactive process which demands your intervention and it is how we become stronger. Love the scrutinizing passion of your words Coco. Namyh
 
again??

I
hate
the words that came
from my mouth yesterday
seconds later my heart ached because
(I didn’t mean them)

its
just that my
heart scrutinizes
intentions for signs of sincerity

sometimes…

I
wish
I could cut it out
the lack-of-trust-in-me

but…

how
can I part ways
with what has kept
pain at bay since the night
I cried it all away?

why…?

why
can’t
I
stay
here
in
this
guarded place
I find uncomfortably
comfortable?
I’m
not hurting
anyone by protecting
myself…

am I?

I
believed
(wholeheartedly)
in love being a risk
worth taking
so…

I
did

and…

It
was

until…

I
felt
the pain of it
slowly depreciating
into nothing
left

based on that fact…

it
(really)
wasn’t

yes
warm and cozy
may not visit regularly
and loneliness’ chill
sometimes slip through small
cracks in the wall I built a little more
often than I’d like
but…

I
grin
and
bare
it

because…

hurt
has
proven
itself
to
be
much
worse

at least that’s…

my
scrutinizing
heart’s take on it
and…

for
now I’m
happy riding
shotgun

until…

I’m
(emotionally)
ready
to
sit
in
the
driver's
seat


is that so unreasonable?
