Beauty in forgotten places...

Is it chance that true beauty is often lost?
Is it chance that the qualities of an amazing person are often seen as weakness?
What is beautiful to me....
A open heart...
Patience...
compassion for others....
Willingness to serve...
The world views beauty as a skin-deep attribute,
People can be pretty or handsome on the outside but,
A beautiful person is someone who cares,
someone who stays up with you to talk when you are having an issue,
someone who is there for you when it seems you are alone...
someone who takes the time to understand you and find the inner side of you...
someone who genuinely cares about your well being, and wants to see you happy...
Someone who not only takes the time to help but offers you them self whenever they are needed...
Beauty of the heart has been lost ... or maybe I lost my ability to see it in people... either way... I want to see it to I will look for it. I know that there are beautiful people out there who do these and so many more things... Just appreciate them when you see them...

Letter to the heartbroken...

Dear Broken hearts...
The pain you feel, when the one you loved left...
whether they left for another,
by distance,
or even by death.
The hole they leave is just as painful,
the ache that is ripped into your soul,
the emptiness that sits where that love once was...
you still love them.
Maybe they never stopped loving you.
No matter what happened,
remember that it is ok to be sad, for a time...
remember that it is ok to be upset for a while...
but eventually...
you must say your goodbye...
move on to a bright future,
remember the past
cherish the memories,
learn from them
remember that love is the answer...
and the journey is how the heart heals...
keep your heart open...
as long as the heart is open...
it can heal...
and love can find its way in again...
Sincerly,
a healing Heart

Dear heartbreak...

How long have I been avoiding you... how long has it been since you first affected me... why am I pretending that you are not there... when the heart breaks it can change some... those who were hopeless romantics, the ones who still believed in true love... they can be lost in a world where they don't feel love ever again. I know that a broken heart is something that takes time to heal, but how long till I can hold some one and feel the love when they hold me back? When can I get lost in someones eyes again, when can I loose my breathe when they walk in the room? It has been years since I have allowed my heart to feel that again... I know how to show my love for someone, I know all of the cute little thing I can do for someone special... but only once have I ever felt that... only once have I ever meant it with all my heart. Is it because I didn't love the others? No, I loved them but the romantic within me had died by then. I am sorry to the ones who know the pain... to those who have felt the wings of true love broken... when you loose yourself to a dark feeling of nothing. I am sorry for the ones who have been betrayed and lied to... to those who lost the one they loved, and then lost themselves. Is it possible to find the innocence again, to loose yourself in their eyes... can broken wings be mended, can my heart beat again... I want to feel again, I want to love again... I want to be free from this everlasting pain in knowing that its me who prevented the other relationships from continuing... my fears of pain and loss, my dream of darkness... someday I will be free from this... someday I will find myself again... someday I will love again... I believe these things are possible... until then, I pray... for the broken, the lost, and the fallen... Love is the answer... and the journey to freedom and love is the path of healing... remain open my brothers and sisters... love always finds a way to bring us out of the darkness... one day... Love
