My Heart



my heart goes out to you.
what else can i say?
you're so broken
and i can't help you
because i don't know you.
all i can offer you
is my heart.
please
accept it.

Ahhhh...

Doesn't it hurt...?

So how can we? How can we give our hearts? We want to so so badly, but...how?

Hey, CP, no fair -- I was about to ask the same thing.

I also want to do that, but how?

i think that just knowing that someone out there cares gives a big boost to many a heart and soul.
even if you're not close by; even if you don't know who the other is; the fact that someone cares enough to take a true interest in your life is reason enough to go on...

So sweet..we can all use it sometimes. Thanks!!

It's true. Sometimes just knowing that someone cares helps. And sometimes giving someone your love and caring is all you can do.

So how do you let them know you care? Saying "I care" is so cliche it doesn't mean anything. If you feel you can't help, and you don't know the person (or not very well, not sure exactly what you meant by that) how do you communicate your sincerity?

Scraps said...

Sometimes it's not something that can be communicated in a few short sentences or a pithy cliche. You just have to be there for support, listening, trying to understand and show that their pain is your pain. And sometimes, as cliche as it sounds, telling them you care is still better than nothing.

It's complicated...but then, most things are.

Saying that u care doesnt mean that much. FEELING that u care and showing it at times, does a whole lot more.
Feeling it means opening a new compartment in ure heart for this person...
Showing it means giving the person whatever they need to help ease their pain. Whether its a phone call, a gift, a hug, a home cooked meal...

You have a pretty big heart, Dreamer.

Thanks - it is so nice to know we we can rant and rave on our own and each others blogs and be offered support and not be judged or pathetically pitied like those outside our situation would. Thanks all you bloggers!

(Sorry deleted comment above as mucked it up a bit!)

arteries ventricles and all?

I dunno...

Yes, when you know someone cares it means so so much. But...still...
Is there anything else we can do?

It feels so frustrating and heartwrenching to be able to give only long-distance love and support. Is there nothing else...?
