Tell me,
What do you want?
A lie to believe in?
Safety? Security?
Prosperity? Recognition?
Appreciation for all that you are?
Talk to me,
What do you fear most?
The loss of all that you own?
The downcast eyes of a child? Rejection?
Homelessness? Financial ruin?
The loss of your sight?
Your limbs? Your hearing?
Or do you fear a hellish eternity?
Languishing in a lake of fire?
Speak to me,
Where are you going?
What is your destination?
Who are you and why are you here?
Do you know for sure?
How do you know?
Do you really know anything?
Be honest.
Be very honest.
Listen to me,
You have ignored me for so long.
You have mistaken my voice for another.
You have lied to me.
You’ve wounded me.
You’ve hurt me.
You’ve made me cry.
Time and time again.
And you ignored.
You kept on ignoring.
Pretending like I wasn’t here.
That I was deaf.
Dumb.
And blind.
Useless.
You thought I was useless.
Hear me,
For I speak and say the truth.
I can never lie.
No matter how much I try.
No matter how much it hurts.
No matter how hard it can be to listen.
I speak.
I listen.
I love.
And I care about you.
So very much.
Pay attention,
This is your heart speaking.
Are you listening?
Do you feel the murmurings?
Inside of your chest?
Do you feel the warm glow that I send?
Can you feel the beating loud enough to be heard?
Nurture me.
Do not ignore me any longer.
Do not pretend that I do not exist.
Do not mistake my voice for that of your mind.
For the mind is not I.
I am the heart.
And I really need you right now.
Love me, please
I have been with you from the very beginning.
I watched you take your first steps.
I swelled at your first love.
I consoled you at your darkest hour.
I tried to point for you the way.
Sometimes you listened, sometimes you didn’t.
As you grew older, you forgot where I was.
Always here. Inside of you.
In a place that the world has made you come to forget.
This cursed world.
I am so sorry.
More sorry than you will ever come to know.
Bearing the prison of flesh unknowingly like you do.
Let me teach you, please.
For these are the times when you must listen to my voice.
To strengthen the volume of my whispers.
And let it become like the roar of an ocean wave.
So that you will never forget.
That I am here.
And that I will never leave or lead you astray.
Forgive me,
I have shared your pain.
I know what your tears have been connected to.
I know what you need is more important than what you want.
The mind aims to deliver your wants.
I provide for your needs.
But forgive me just the same,
For not having made myself clear enough for you to listen.
For not raising my voice loud enough to be heard.
Please forgive me.
The time to listen is now.
And it means you will lose everything.
So that you will gain what you need.
Not what you want.
I’ll never give you what you want.
Only what you need.
Because.
I know you better than you know yourself.
I am your heart.
My words are true.
Test me and I’ll test you.
I will find you no matter how well you hide.
And though you may not understand my ways and means.
I promise it will be for the best.
Better than you can imagine.
I promise.
PROMISE ME.
These are the times.
These are the most serious of times.
No more games.
No more illusions.
No more bullshit.
It’s time to listen!
And to listen well.
For I can yodel if you let me.
Let me.
Let me take you back home.
Please let me.
Let me do what is best.
♥💘💖♥💓💙
