Poem Artwork

 Love came calling for me
But I could not answer
I was so chained to an idea
Too blind to see
I craved something
That did not exist
And made it real
In the poetry I wrote
And the love songs I sang
Yes, I knew how to love
But couldn’t answer
when love came calling for me

As always, in just a few short words you have given us a glimpse into your heart. So beautiful...much love to you.

Thanks for your review Deborah. Just to clarify: When I said I knew how to love, I was talking about the action of love (rather than the feeling of love). I have no doubt that I was in love with my ex but the reality of the relationship did not mirror the fantasy that was the dream. In that, your comment is absolutely spot on. I do know that a relationship is hard work and I put in everything I had to save my marriage but it always takes two and two need to be willing to work it out. To me the lesson is now in letting go. "Love came Calling" is ultimately not about romantic love at all, its about being able to receive love...and that is something I'm still learning. :)

You say you knew how to love, I am guessing your
concept of love was like a fairy tale and you now
are realizing love is a serious commitment.

Always,

Deborah(Vaineo)
