Feelings.

Blinders on your feelings, please?’. Protested her mind. Her heart seemed to ignore the blaring cries. Clinging on to those feelings, caged in its confines. Defying every logical reason her mind gave. Is it ever easy to put blinders on your feelings?. Who decides when they find a way to your heart. Seeking refuge in its complexities, in the guise of constant tenants. They remain there. Taking you through an array of highs and lows. Can we ever set them free? Or we merely have to let them be. Let them nibble into the depths of your being, till they can’t go any deeper. They simply stay there, till they rust under the winds of time. Trapped in the confines of our heart, we may choose to ignore them. Deny their presence. Fortify the walls of our heart to prevent them from seeping in again. We fail to realize, that they are already there, nestled in the interiors. Armed with a certain hope that defies rationality. They make you believe in a tomorrow that’s in sync with what you really want, but seems like a distant dream. And against all odds, you continue to hope. This hope nourishes your very existence. For it is  hope which is the fuel for our survival. The memories attached to them can make you smile. They may hurt. Yet, you have to let them be. Two sides of you, engaged in a constant conflict. One that wants to let go. One that seems to cling on to it. Your instincts seem to abandon you. Blinded in a light that bathes your soul.  You just have to let it be. Go on with your life, ignoring  their knocks to be acknowledged or simply let ‘em be. Drink in the pain you may experience as it tears your soul apart, till time wields its wand and you are left with an empty bottle. And then life fills the bottle again. Maybe this  time you’ll learn to enjoy each sip more?.
