Armless Love


You see, i've seen armless love
Hugged by an unbalance of her past which carries a glass that would cut your throat clean
 
Afloat in her sense of near death I listened to her listen to nothing
Bouncing my brain on the walls of my skull trying to see something or someone in her sense of near death
 
I think of what she thought when thinking of putting herself on the street
I think of how weak she must have been when looking down while standing in her sense of near death
I think of the look she see's look back at her when she looks over back at them
How mystified that must be

I tried to imagine what she must see and how complicated it must be to think freely without choosing one of the choices choosen for her
I can't bear what it must feel like to live life agreeing to what other people are saying to help her see something
Especially what comes from her family

Truly, i've seen armless love
I've seen the product of armless love

    It's a real experience that I had of observing a young woman over the span of 8 months

    It sounded like it came from real experience. Was very affecting. Is hard to know what to say after reading that. I was pretty stunned

    It was a tremendous experience that I was unaware was happening at the time. I shook my head for many days trying to understand her reality. Then one day it clicked, this is armless love because she was mimicking the family that came before her. I truthfully felt so exhausted in trying to understand what I was observing just by looking at her, that my only choice was to go beyond her and look at her connections. There was no love there. She was a zombie of afflictive emotions.

    You sound like you have some profound insights into life. Hopefully we'll be hearing more from you

    Thank you. Put simply, I'm here and the chaotic beauty is here with me and it's a mind fuck to navigate...lol
    I have this drive in me that pushes towards answering WHAT IS THAT? or WHY IS THAT? etc. I lean towards the argument of properly understanding one's surroundings to evolve. Mind you though, my friends & family, we like to keep it light, you know, in this ocean of chaos ? (I believe Morrison said that, didn't he? 'Ocean of Chaos')

    By the way, this is my first PJ fan club conversation. Thanks for popping my cherry tremors. I

    They certainly ain't all like this I can tell you!

    "I have this drive in me that pushes towards answering WHAT IS THAT? or WHY IS THAT? etc. I lean towards the argument of properly understanding one's surroundings to evolve.

    Bring all of that to the Poetry section and the Moving Train section, and keep it away from the Porch, and you'll be on track!!

    I feel like I've known you before...silly I guess. :?

    Love your piece.... we are our past and the people in it
    I can attest to that, fought it a long time
    but love heals...cliche but true.

    I may be addicted to foot wear also. Myself & I are discussing if it is indeed an addiction. I can attest to that.
