No men’s an island (but some are)
They say no man’s an island
I think some men are
It is funny to find
Some people unknown
Visible from afar
Like a lighthouse
But not comforting
More like rocks to get stranded on
When I run ashore with a realisation
You didn’t like me to be close to you
It was all pacing around outside the palace walls
And you liked to watch me scramble there
Satiated with hope & hungry with desire
Like a maniac
Banging at the bars of my cage
(That is in fact yours)
Crying ‘I am innocent’
‘You’ve got to understand’
To dull ears
And a mind closed
I raved that I saw the truth
The solution
I could end both our suffering
But I was of course mad
Mad to try to prove my love to you
To want to inhabit your Island
Run through your forests
To be naked in your arms
Because there’s no paradise with you
Afterthoughts: No man’s an island
The wisdom here is that some people don’t want to be known.
Not everyone reacts the same way you do to intimacy… whilst you may love being close to people and think that warmth, affection, understanding can bridge the gap, that you can be the one to open someone’s heart… the truth is people can only choose to open it themselves*
*and this is usually YEARS of work.
Don’t think that if you can just, just make him see that all will be well. With some people, there’s no finish line, no paradise. The good news is, you can find your own. But it starts with you and doesn’t end with them.
For more of my one on one wisdom, I’d LOVE you to join my community of empowered women at the HQ Club
Love
