Guest post: Love’s Antihero - Insatiable Restless Souls
June 5, 2008 by NML
I had to share this poem written by Baggage Reclaim reader Elizabeth Scott a Fallback Girl who has been reading this blog for the past six months. She wanted to say thank you and share her poem, which captures the essence of the emotional stone wall, that is being involved with a Mr Unavailable.
Running from the arms of one yet to another
Desperate for love, but afraid to smother
Restless souls whose passion briefly burns bright
Quickly fading to ash in the dawn of real love’s light
These lovers who woo, but cannot sustain
Fickle of feeling - bringing confusion and pain
Self loathing then forcing them to run every time
Insatiably searching, but never finding love sublime
Do not suffer false love’s orphans from the start
Loving them will only break your heart
Neither hate them for their poverty of feeling
Lest it send your own love spirit reeling
One without self love has nothing to give
And your love pours through them like a sieve
Elizabeth S. Scott, May 2008

I am so glad that I am over my “relationship”, I am grateful for what I have learned on this site and from NML and I am applying my new knowledge daily.
I caught myself checking out a guy last weekend, I even recognized the cologne he was wearing- just a few months ago I was totally numb to that, was too busy waiting on EUM, too busy putting my life on hold.
Life is good!
