When you grow up with them
They become a part of everything
Your belongings, your hopes... Dreams
Anything you see, touch, own
They are connected to all of it

So when they hurt you so bad
That you have to leave
You realize
There's nothing to take with you
Because everything you've ever owned
Has their scent, their memory
And it hurts to look at it

Nothing matters without them
Nothing matters at all

They become a part of everything
They become a part of YOU

And so you leave that behind too [comments] => 2 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 75 [informant] => ScorpionFire88 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

I guess they call that grieving.
A loss is just what it is even though they are still with us among the living.

Beautiful write.

I am sixty-four years old...I have been where you are many times over...Nature is a rather relentless thing...every time I came up against a cinder block wall, Nature was sayin', "Okay, Ron...think about it...put it all together...don't keep banging your head...take the leap!" At age fifty-four I finally realized what Nature was trying to teach me: If I was ever going to be the independent me I was intended to be, I had to stop seeing "me" through the eyes of "others;" I could not depend on the influence of others for my perception of "Me." Granted...our society is totally screwed up...our social culture is decidedly dysfunctional. In our late teen years...our early adult years...we feverishly look for someone who makes us feel like we are awesome and perfect. When we find someone like this, as long as this person thinks we are awesome and perfect, we are able to love our Self. But the hype wears off, and then we are left our Self. Our social culture actually teaches us not to Love our Self unconditionally...we are taught to compare and when we compare, because we are taught that we do not come up to snuff, whatever we are comparing ourself to is the winner and we are the loser... I think you are at the point where you can begin to "Leave It All Behind." Honestly...you don't need the addictive approval of others...when you finally realize all it is you actually are...YOU are more than enough...YOU are worth LOVING unconditionally...I wish someone had told me this when I was in my twenties...but...it all takes time...it all takes a whole lot of time...
