Failed expectations

May 152008

What ails your heart, O, woman
and what ails your heart, O, man
expectations
that could not be met
needs that could not be satisfied
Did you think that by finding each other,
you could claim back your joy
in the garden of eden?
Did you think that by having found
each other,
you could reunite with your lost half
and finally be complete?
Nay, I say unto you,
for it is not each other that you have lost in the garden
and it is not each half that could
complete your empty soul
It is God's presence that you have lost
and it is only in God
where you can find your bliss
once more.

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
