withered rose

"When love beckons to you, follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep
Though the sword hidden amongs his pinions may wound you
It kneads you until you are pliant"-Khalil Gibran

I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say but I have failed. I can only summarize my whole feelings on my current state of marriage in this extract from a dear friend

"The strength of a lady is not by how hard she hits but in how tender she touches
Not in the weight she can lift but in the burden she can bear"

A loss cause

"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay and who you refuse to let go"

I know life is no story book. Marriage is not for the faint of heart.After months of enduring much pain and heartache, I have come with peace with myself.No matter how hard I try to hold on to it, sometimes I just have to learn to let go and face the fact that while some good things never last, some dont even start.
