When A Hole Is Just A Hole by Gudintent: 6:26am On Oct 30, 2009 |
Time and time again the same routine you come you begin you have your pleasure you are contented you say all the sweet things you leave. I on the other hand Dread you coming I pretend to sleep even when im fully awake I cringe I struggle I give a million excuses sure they are lame all in the name of avoidance I freeze I close my eyes blocking out the reality I am thinking please hurry I hear the sweet talk but they are mere words I open my eyes its all over. |

I ask myself I dont know what to do I dont know what to say Not because there is nothing to say or do But because I feel the hurt I will leave you when I utter those words Am I being selfish? Should I be honest? Can you take the truth? Would your ego be hurt rather than your heart? I have dropped hints I have struggled when I should have been a participant Yet you refuse to see the signs You carry on like we are good Are we good? Are you in denial? Do you know what my intentions are? Do you really know how I feel? How do I express myself? Or should the question be, Where do we go from here? |

I am a wife I am a mother I am a friend I am the confidant I am the cook I am the cleaner I am the finance advisor I am the pillar that makes a home a home The pressure! such pressure! I remembered being single all those nights i cry into my pillow all those days I envied married women Here I am In my own home Living my dream Yet the tears keep flowing What did I do wrong What didn't I do where do I start Where does it all end Where is my support I am considered to be the weak one Yet I am expected to be the warrior The one that stands when others fall I am expected to pick up the pieces Even when I am in pieces Who is my confidant Who is my friend Who is my helper No don't feel sorry for me I love this life The flowing tears are joyful ones the Who is the family unit We lean on each other Through thick and thin We learn from each other we grow with each other Above all We have each other I will not be a wife if I wasnt married I will not be a mother if I didnt have a man I will not be a friend If I had no one to care for I will not be a confidant if im not trusted I will not be a cook, if I had no one to cook for I will not be a cleaner, if there were no kids to make the home untidy I will not be a finance advisor, If we had no money I will NOT be a pillar if there was no home |

A bright sunny day it was You were your normal self Chatting away Very playful Nothing and no one stops you You mix with your peers without any help You are loved by all Most of all Me. I mark yesterday cos I will always replay all that happened I cant forget I dont want to forget You took me out of my comfort zone You dared me to go where no one has been You were ahead of me I was behind you I paused and blinked my eye for a second You were gone I looked round with a bewildered glance Someone said you went that way There you were running with those legs You sprint like an antelope I called out for you to stop You were laughing and smiling as you continued to sprint I went after you Different scenes playing in my head You were heading for the main road A danger in itself I kept calling out You heard me As I breathe a sigh of relief within me I begged you to come closer You started making your way back Still smiling with those twinkle in your eyes My heart was racing As you got closer, your partner in sprint arrived I could not believe my eyes when you took to your heel and started the race I was calling out As I joined in the run You were lauging and giggling Dangers all over the place Then I saw the car and I saw you still giggling away Thank God his break was working You unaware of what had just happend was happily runing away It is all fun to you You are having a swell time I called out to passers by Stop her! stop her! I must have looked like a crazy woman Little wonder they didnt take any notice of me As God will have it. You stopped This was my last chance to get you to come to me I brought out the packet of sweet which was meant to be a treat for you prior to all this race. , I called out to you come and get it, You came to me filled with smiles and laughter. The closr you got, the harder my heart beat. As I latch onto your ends, a feeling so overwhelming came upon me. Without further ado, I turned your hands around and smacked you a few times. Dont you EVER do that again. Slowly we walked back. I was up all night thinking of what could have been. I shudder at the thought In all I thank God for where we are. Had it not been HIS EYES upon you. I will not be here to wrte about it. I Love You my ANGEL |

Days are flying by The end of the year is nearing These are the end times i hear someone say How far have you come on your new year resolutions I hear them ask They make the right noises At the wrong times Or am I stuck in the times? Has time stood still whilst i wasnt watching A million questions But the one that is topmost of my mind is WHAT DO I REALLY WANT Here is my answer I DONT KNOW Was that a smirky laugh i hear Am i laughing at myself I look around, but no one is about Yes, that is me making fun of myself I ask myself this, What do people around me want from me Lets see I tick all the boxes a wonderful mum an adorable wife a good daughter in law a beautiful daughter a dependable friend a reliable worker I believe I tick all those boxes. So we are back to the question, what do I want. What does Gudintent want Love To be able to RECEIVE love How do i receive love? |

People talk of allergies I'm allergic to wheat I'm allergic to Millk I'm allergic to bees I'm allergic to Nut I on the other hand I'm allergic to Love For someone who knows nothing about love How then is he allergic to love? I hear you ask Could it be I'm allergic to the feeling love brings Or is my allergy to do with being shown love Do I grasp the context of Love Am I expected to reciprocate this love Or should I just accept the token Why then am I allergic? Love does not bode well with me Right now, here now, I could be so in love or so I think The next minute, I could dislike that thing called Love Could it be, because of my emotions Do I let my heart dictate what Love should be to me Or do I let my head rule and disagree with the feelings called love. What is Love? How can I build up my immunity to embrace Love I want to Love I want to receive Love I want to appreciate this thing called Love I Need to give Love |

I heard the alarm go That same music Lord Im grateful for what you have done for me Wakes me up every Blessed morning I look around in the dark Silently Bless His Name for a brand new awakening I rise up Go through my morning rituals 7am its time for work Say a short prayer, before setting out Get in the car Do the trip into work Less than 15minutes on a good morning Arrive work just in time Always with a wide smile on my face Morning! I say to the first person I lay my eyes on morning, they respond with equally the same smile That brightens my day We go on to have a chit chat about what the weather will be for the day Even though it feels like fall has begun, we still pray for summer to linger As i casually walk towards my office my head is busy putting the day's schedules in order of priority in my brain I walk through the double doors, I instinctively switch on the lights Switch on the radio, for a bit of chit chat in the background Open the windows to let in some morning fresh air Oh what bliss! Today I feel good Today Im happy Today I probably made the first person I met this morning at the reception happy Not bad for a morning achievement Onwards and Upwards. |
