Acceptance or Need vs. Love

I need you
to love me!
The death knell of
of relationship.

It closes off
seeing the other,
kills the curiosity
the joy in difference.

Needing hardens
the heart already
damaged by wounds
long forgotten

Needing is fear in
disguise, a spiritual
hole we look to be filled
by someone out there.

Accepting the loss
the familial love
we never had
frees us

Only then
can I love you
without demands that
you be anything but who your are.

    I do not view needing as fear in disguise. I view it as a wakeup call for me to look deeper within my own Being and ask what it is I need and then ask What, if anything does it make sense for me to do about the need. I listen and then I do what I heard within me. It always works out just right for me.

    Being afraid to accept the responsibility for meeting my own needs is where I begin. It is facing my biggest fear: I am grown up and no one is coming to make up for what I still need within me. It is for me to do in a loving and kind way. Love and Power to you.

    I agree! Thank you for expressing it so well!

  4. This is extremely insightful. After all of the introspect, reflection and analysis, you are a two-legged blessing to all of the lives you touch. You have positioned yourself for the purest engagement of love. No one, with spiritual insight, could refuse that on any level. You deserve the highest reciprocation for what you are willing to deliver.

    I am praying for your total fulfillment and restoration.
