And they say that a Hero will save us…
I could never comprehend, was it just my innate sense of adventure or was it something deeper. I tried to understand what drew me to people who were in my terms ‘broken’. I was drawn to them like a moth to a flame but I could never understand why. Was it just me and my fascination with emotionally unavailable men, who never seemed to consider my feelings or was it this hidden maternal instinct to want to cradle and comfort the hurt.
All my life I’ve run after people, trying to convince them that I could love them in a way that they should be loved but never have any of them given me that special chance. It’s like trying to hug a cactus with these people, though I never complain, as I saw it as COURAGE on my part. For me courage meant loving someone unconditionally even if it meant those same feelings were never returned. But it was difficult, it broke me down emotionally, physically and mentally. I epitomized frail courage but how do you love someone who needs love but doesn’t want to be loved? how do you save someone, even though you know they need it, wouldn’t allow you to.
I guess we’re all guarded, for our own personal reasons and those answers will forever evade me, be a simply yet complex mystery. It hurts because as you see that person hurting, your instincts jump to the rescue, wanting to be a hero but you’re broken down as well slowly but surely and there isn’t anyone left to save you. And the question lies, how do you go on like this?
“And they say that a hero could save us
I’m not gonna stand here and wait
I’ll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
Someone told me love would all save us
But, how can that be, look what love gave us
A world full of killing and blood spilling
That world never came”
