We loose control, we loose our tongue…

Self preservation is something all of us humans practice on a daily life, we guard ourselves from becoming vulnerable to anything we believe will hurt us. We bite our tongues and leave things unsaid all the time, things that would leave us exposed. We maintain a constant “front” because if we fully give into what we want, it would mean we would have to let go and finally become vulnerable. Some of us have this incredible need to be able to break through, mostly because we know that what’s on the other side will make us incredibly happy… but yet we’re scared. And I wonder, if we know deep in our hearts that the breakthrough would be worth it, why don’t we just go ahead and do it? I have been here, a couple times, and in order to preserve myself I have become cold, unavailable, distant. And still, still… for whatever reason, I still feel I have to bite my tongue, not to loose control and become vulnerable myself. Because again, if I give into what I really want and loose my tongue, it would probably mean I will have to let go.

It is said that when a relationship ends with everything left up in the air, its because there is the thought of leaving an opening or a reason to go back. By leaving everything “unsaid” there is no real goodbye and all is left on pause so that one day it can be picked up easily where everything left off. Maybe we just dont like to admit that its really over and prefer to leave things unsaid because we are afraid to become vulnerable, say what we really feel inside and then get deepy hurt. Is it best to pour our hearts out and be hurt or just leave things unsaid? Any thoughts?

Not that you’re the one
Not to say I’m right 
Not to say today 
And not to say a thing tonight

But suffice it to say 
We’re leaving things unsaid 
We sing ourselves to sleep 
Watching the day lie down instead

And we are leaving some things unsaid 
And we are breathing deeper instead Read the rest of this entry »
