Trying to Love Life Again

by Marlena - Cancer

I'm trying to love life again
With all it brings to me and the ones I love.
I'm trying to be a better person by doing more
than I can to get the results I work so hard
to obtain.
I'm trying to love life again by seeing the beauty
it once offered.
When giving your heart was enough to satisfy the lust 
you felt inside for the one you loved and hoped
would return their love too.
I'm trying to love life again by accepting the pain it brings of losing someone you love so dearly.
Realizing you will never see that person ever on this
earth just makes you tear up and cry.
The pain is just too much for you to bare.
You wonder when will your suffering end.
The hole in your heart keeps growing deeper and deeper,
never fully closed.
I'm trying to love life again, but its just so hard sometimes.
All I can do is take these baby steps and hope I do not
fall into the darkness where my light will some day
burn out.
I'm trying to love life again...please take my hand so I may follow you and stay on track my Lord.

Reason for writing:

    Just thinking about life and why we fall at our weakest moments. Prayer really helps when all else has failed.
