The Miracle Of Christmas No More
So December nears it’s end, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day have all passed. Hooray for a New Year to come, a new you, resolutions and all that. For many this all is the vision of Christmas and beyond, all full of love and hope for the future. For others, including myself, these days of the year are no different to any other in there appearance in life. Yes there is more intensity on these days, the pressure to conform, be happy and all that peace to all men stuff. Yet I actually wish good health, peace and happiness to everyone every single day of the year, I just cannot see that approach to my own life. The intensity of Christmas brings it to the fore, but every day either side is equally as painful and heartbreaking. What held my heart and love to ransom in the prior days of 2018 and before, are still, in the grand scheme of things, lurking with intent all the time. Not one solitary moment of any day passes that I do not miss the reason for my being, my blood life, my heart beat. That person is not around to give life to this soulless being. Deprived of the food of life, by persons intent on the eventual demise of myself, through a long, slow and painful death. Just one moment of wishful thinking or glimmer of hope, a moment of time allowed in the company of the presence of the person who can breathe life into me, but no. Beyond my control, I am being controlled into this situation by heartless people, and if they can be heartless with pleasure across their faces, it shows an evil cruelty that should be removed from their personality. To be allowed to do this, and still carry on a pretence of loving parents, to young and vulnerable children drives me even more speedily into despair. I admit my despair, I admit my pain, I admit I am dying of a love defying life. Will anyone admit they are complicit in the ongoing situation. They cannot cure me, a cure is not available, but a supportive remedial option is available to certain people I know, yet they choose to ignore and abuse this opportunity to help me. I have tried, I have failed, I need support, I need help. I am asking, but no one is listening.
