Days come and days go and all seem to slowly crawl by. Too much time to think of things of the past and nothing of the future. For not one day is promised to us each and every one is a loan. It would be nice to eventually have a woman who i can kiss,hug,love and hold to the end of time. But I know for soldiers like me that is just a dream. Happiness is just a word of hope that never seems to exist. For combat changes a person mentally,physically,emotionally, and spiritually. For some it is a good thing and then there are those of us that doctors say are damaged goods from it. For us things will never be the same. Because it takes just a smell,sight, a sound or something along that nature and we thing we are back in combat not by choice but because of what we went through. It makes it hard for someone to love us for we are unpredictable and the consequences can be catastrophic. So why do people always say there is someone out there somewhere for us when many who try to understand what we go through can't or won't or even give us the time of day. Most tend to say we're crazy but we aren't we have been put in situations that take special men and women to do it. And most don't seem to care or want to call us baby killers or that we fight a wrong war or something along those lines. How can someone say that when they sit on their ass safe and sound in their homes and go to work,school or just stay in their homes and do nothing and want to talk shit about those of us who are willing to put our lives on the line and try to make the difference knowing damn well that we may never see home again.
Most people tend to think that physical pain and mental anguish is the worst pain a person can feel but those tend to let u know ur alive and that your human. One of the worst pains one can feel is that of ones heart. Most say that you can control how your heart behaves but that is untrue. For your heart moves in mysterious ways and no one truly knows what it has in store for us. It causes one to love unconditionally and not to second guess as to the purpose of such an emotion. Everyone wants to be and feel love for that is human nature. But then there is those of us who have been hurt to the point your walkin on egg shells when it comes to anything that deals with love. Many try to explain the way a persons heart moves and does what it does but it is like tryin to explain the mystery of life. No one truly knows but all try to rationally explain it in one form or another. Love that one feels is the purest of all emotions. But so many take that emotion and twist it to suit their purposes for that moment. And people tend to say I Love You as if it is just something common to say and it tends to lose its true meaning. Some say that sex is an expression of love but what they fail to realize is that sex is just a desire and no true meaning comes from it. The meaning one finds in it is the one that they give it to rationalize the act in itself. So many times over the years I have overheard so many people say or even think "well if I do this or that then this person will love me" which is very untrue. For if a person it to truly love another it first comes from within and you dont try to change another. For if you truly love someone then that means that you love them for who they are reguardless of their imperfections no matter what they might be. And its a love that is so unconditional that one can not simply just take it back if they become bored of the other person. So many times people rush into things because they are tired of being alone and it is in these times that one can be hurt the most.
A Precious Treasure
I can't wait another day
And hold these wolves at bay
Tis not just a kiss
That could bring eternal bliss
From being with you miss
People stop and take a gander
At what I found that is so much grander
Than any treasure in the world...
