Discouraging Battle


Discouraging Battle  

Before I met him, I beamed from within. I was vulnerable to his tricks that I perceived as magic.  I truthfully have examined myself and without a shadow of doubt, I loved him to my full capacity. He allowed me to risk everything I hold near and dear to my heart to be close to him.

I have heard it said that time heals all wounds and I have experienced healing from many different traumas from life.  I realize that I could have lost far more from loving him.  It was hell getting over him, but I knew I would.  I despise misery.  The human heart and spirit heals just as the human body can - inside out.  I struggled to smile, but learned to smile again.

Now, I think I was wrong that I could recover the missing link.  Although I can smile and possess happiness, there is a missing part of me as if I had lost one of my senses, a limb or a breast.  I know of no word to call or describe this lost part of me.

I have often been puzzled and wondered why I haven't been able to accept this part of me is gone.  Today as I gather these thoughts I have gained an insight.  I didn't misplace or lose my missing link.  It was stolen.

I opened myself to him because he gained my trust.  After I gave him nearly everything, he stole a part of me that I can't restore.  The rest of my days I will and can exhibit a joyous life, but there will always be my missing link.
