"Love Hurts"

Sometimes we fail to understand what it is that love is all about. It is protrayed as a emensly romantic feeling, full of roses, choclates and diamonds. Or that is a powerfully sexual feeling that leads to wonderous ecstacy. When really those are just components of one thing. Like sex is the Jack Daniels and everyday life in marrigae is the Coke. To make the perfect drink, you need both. You can't have the drink without either ingredent.
If you just drink the Jack Daniels all the time then you just get fucked up. As in hurt feelings, unwanted pregnacy, vernareal diseases and the such.
If you just drink Coke, it seems boring and relentless.
Love hurts.
I can't say that things are always so clear cut. I can make all the comparisons I want, but when it all comes down to you, you have to decide. Will you let the shit in life cover you up so much that you can't ever hope to reach the surface? I have been in a deep rut her lately and have not wanted to get out of it. Everytime that sweet liquor reaches my lips, I contemplate all the things that aren't and what hasn't happened. There is one thing that isn't and hasn't. I can't change that. No matter how many bottles of whiskey I drink nothing will change this.
A while ago a posted a post titled something like "The only post about me you will probably ever see." Since then I have expressed more about myself than I usually do. And in that post there was a person that offered me some advice that I still haven't taken to heart. Miss Cher offered me a bit of advice that she has learned through her own life. I envy someone that has overcome what I haven't. But the problem is, is not from the lack of trying. I haven't tried. I've rationalized what I do, and made excuses.
You all have been a hell of a comfort. And I'm not going to go through the list, as I just did in "Props". I just feel so god-damn sad. And the puncuation of that word is needed, in that I have not found the happiness that is suppose to be with Him, as Miss Zimmie has so often tried to share with me.
There is a chill in my heart that has iced over any compassion that I might have felt in previous times. I have a dark outlook on life that is occasionally changed with the hilariousness of Mr. Darker and Miss NightBug. With the light of Miss XOPoetry and Miss Zimmie. With the close feelings and appreciation I have for Miss Terri and Miss Harbour. And the companionship I feel with good friends like Mr. Big and Mr. X. And I still cannot understand what the hell is wrong with me. I can't survive without friends, and you all have been such a good support group.
But I just can't believe the one time, in many, many years, that I have asked him for something . . .
"You know I can't smile without you."
And I don't really think that I will, without her. Myung.
"Who would have beileved that you were part of the dream, now it all seems light years away."
Light years that I will never be able to travel. My babygirl. I hope that happiness finds you my love, my babygirl, my Myung.
I May Never See The Dawn
