Pathway by Debbie Aruta                          Photo by Stephen Leonardi on Unsplash He opened the door to her heart when he said he loved her, but she wanted to close it due to not trusting him. Did he open it, or did he push it? She needed to know. Either way her heart was currently exposed for the world to break. Melting her soul like an ice cube on a hot radiator, she could see herself drifting away into his arms. Losing herself a little at a time just like the ice slowly  changing form, she was also. Everyday she yearned to be the person she used to be, the person she was before he arrived. She was sufficient, proficient, and reliant only on herself, Now she liquefied into him every time he was near, losing more of herself and becoming more of him.

Inner Turmoil Poem

Good Morning, This is a poem I wrote in the midst of the insanity. I hope you enjoy it. Inner Turmoil  My life, my world, collapsed ideas, distraught feelings, fragments remain. Shards of memories body wracked in fear, a past better forgotten, left behind to bleed out. Human emotions wasted, my head lowered, never knowing what love required, only to be told again to go. Strangled passion, emotions wasted on the young, a hand not reciprocating, a love gone decades ago. I pray you are all well and peace has been made with the new normal. Life is mess right now. Take care of you!! your story teller/poet Debbie xoxoxo
