Emotions Run Deep

Emotions can get the best of us sometimes. Especially in love. Love and lust are two things that people get confused. It happens nearly every day. Looking in the mirror means seeing more than your reflection.

By nature, we want our man/woman to be that perfect person. They are the golden soul that can do no wrong. We see perfection when we look at them. We connect on all levels. Nobody understands us but the two of us. When you have a strong bond with a person, it has to be the right one. No cheating, lying, questioning yourselves, just the both of you and most definitely, no outside interference. Why cant people get this right? In love and commitment, only 2 answers exist: yes or no. Not maybe or I don’t know, I don’t know YET.

It is so easy to say I love you to somebody. But, do you? Actions speak volumes. If you love him/her, why are you out here sleeping with this man/woman? You know why? Lack of sexual satisfaction/sexual addiction. Some people can’t contain themselves because sex is like a drug to them.

The thing is, some people are afraid to tell that person that they arent sexually satisfied because they don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings. My feelings have been hurt before and I have hurt some feelings. Its time out for STD’s, curable or not. And if you catch one, 1. If you are doing the cheating, its your fault or 2. Its sad because that person was cheating and they gave it to you.

Facebook is the main source for cheating. Hear me out. People are in relationships, claiming that they are committed but some man/woman comes along, that may be so good-looking, and they are slowly convincing that person to look away from the person they are with. I will say that this is the case with 90% of people but there is that faithful 10%. I wish I was lying but unfortunately, I’m not. Facebook has caused so many issues in marriages and relationships. People put each on “blast” as I call it, meaning trying to make the other person look bad. Everything isn’t meant for people to know.

When you begin to feel some type of way, its for a reason. You should never have to question your relationship/marriage because if you do, something is wrong and it doesn’t have to be cheating. Feelings may be dwindling, loss of attraction or you are tired of each other but you don’t know how to say it to each other. Communication is important so speak up.

Beyonce made 2 songs, “Single Ladies and Best Thing I Never Had.” They contradict one another. Single Ladies says “If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it. Don’t be mad once you see that he wants it”. and then turn around with another scenario called Best Thing I Never Had, which says “So when I think of the time that I almost loved you, you showed your ass and I saw the real you”, you cant go from a single woman who got married to a woman that finds out a man wasn’t right for her. Big contradiction. Maybe its just me, I don’t know.

But, one thing that is hard in a relationship: swallowing your emotions. You know that something feels off, things aren't adding up, you just know something isn’t right. The signs are right in your face but you just let things slide because you are waiting for change. The person is exactly who they are. Change has to be within them. They do what they do by choice. Not by accident, on purpose. It takes a strong person to swallow emotions despite knowing the truth. And I have no advice on that one because that person has their own decision to make. But I will say this: I wrote a poem called Deep Emotions. It's a scenario I made up. This is the way I will end my story.

The situation is clear, but she keeps swallowing her pain

She overlooks things, here and there because she feels it will change

The more she stays quiet, its killing her inside

She keeps pouring out her love only to discover more lies

She questions herself: why is this happening to me?

All I did was show love, but Im dealing with more drama than I've ever seen

Love is an action word, but some people act opposite of what they have said, done or what their definition of love means

In love, you should mean what you say and say what you mean

Treat each other right, like a king and a queen
