How do you lift up a lonely heart?

Oct 012007

You hear her cries, you see her tears, and you wonder how on earth you're going to wipe them all away. You try to wipe them with your handkerchief, but then she cries again, and tears continue falling.

Your heart breaks, and deep in your soul you don't want to see her that way. You get furious at those people who've hurt her like this, surely they have no right to do this to her. But what could you do?

You can't turn back time, you can't pull it back to that moment when she's happy and her eyes filled with the spark of laughter. No matter how much you wish, you can't undo the evil that has been done.

But you can stay beside her, and you can hold her hand. And if you can't pull her out of the darkness she's in, you can join her where she is and let her know she is never truly alone.

You can wait with her until the storm passes. You can remind her how beautiful she is and how you believe deep down in your heart she's going to rise above it all a stronger and more beautiful person.

You can be a shoulder to lean on to, a reminder of the strength she already has. Yes, you can wait with her for the morning, when the sun shall reveal once more a glitter of hope upon her teary eyes.

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
