more poems about love and death

Published on 12/05/08 at 08:22:56 EST by haasecr

I'm watching this movie in French
trying to catch the subtitles since I don't really understand
and this guy's girlfriend has died and he's asking his new lover
to kill her ghost. she has died unexpectedly, harshly,
you've got to kill the ghost in my head, he pleads
we've got to kill her a second time
and I think - maybe that's my problem!
I've been acknowledging the ghost!
inviting my ghosts in

so

I want you to help me kill my ghosts and let me move on
I want you to help me believe that the world doesn't end so abruptly
that I don't wake up to find out someone is dead
that I don't hear it over the phone
I don't have people running up to me
to tell me this crap
that I don't want to hear
I don't need to hear that the good guy died.
this happens to other people.
why am I so messed up?
was I messed up before? and this just made it worse
I'd really like to know, really like to know
because
it's really interfering, you know, with my life

Life choice Death or Physical Death

Written on 12/05/08 at 08:42:35 EST by Jeanniesbottle

There are two types of death. There is the type where a person physically dies and the type where a person walks out of your life. For me personally, people whom I care about that choose to walk out of my life is worse.

My reasoning is that with physical death, there is the ability for full closure and knowing that the person who died had no choice in the matter (unless it's suicide, in which case that person had issues that consumed them). This type of death you can do nothing about, it's something you can't change because that person no longer physically exists.

However, when a person chooses to walk out of your life, there is no full closure unless the two of you work out the issue and resolve it together. This type of life choice death I have personally found to be more painful because there is always the chance of that person who walked out of your life to cross your path one day. Such a person is a flesh and bone ghost. This is also a situation where often attempts to resolve the issues by the person who was left behind are ignored by the person that did the walking away. Another situation in which the person who was left behind can do nothing about unless the one who walked away is willing and able to resolves the issues that caused the rift.

Regardless of which death we experience in our lives, we should not allow what others think to determine how we feel about the people we have lost. People are multi-faceted and no one know can know every facet of another. All we can do is go by our experience of a person and determine our own feelings for them. Just know that your feelings does not represent the whole of that person, therefore judging should be avoided as much as possible because we are all flawed as humans. The best thing we can do is grow emotionally and learn to truly feel and care about others and ourselves. See the good, as well as the bad.

I totally agree, but the way to be victorious in your mind and heart is as follows:

Remember, YOU ARE NOT the reason why that person(and I am using the word "person" kindly)choses to walk out of your life. People, for the most part, are ruled by their fears, and to cloud them, they must make all others who shine and give light, like yourself, miserable and purposely 'walk out' without reason knowing the pain it can cause. The way to overcome this is thus....do the best you can to keep your "chi" clean...if you have done your best..then the lost is THEIRS AND THEY SHOULD BE THE ONE GRIEVING! Grieving can take a long time...but if YOU are the survivor...you need to wrap whatever positive light exists around you and basically say to those who try to hurt you to FUCK OFF!

haasecr, "Messed up" is purely a manmade concept, we attribute to ourself as we externalize. Life is always ups and downs, round and round. The internet is such a cold places sometimes, if we were to meet in person I would give you a hug and tell you not to worry, things change. x
