A Monologue for Love
A monologue of a broken heart. by ~Sazroy, Apr 23, 2006, 6:36:33 AM
Literature / Prose / Non-Fiction / Biography & Memoir
What becomes of the broken hearted? Nothing. You think you know love -- then that love turns out to be an egotistical self-involved bastard who's no braver than the house mouse living in your walls waiting 'til you least expect it.
I've made mistakes before. But nothing compares to the ones made with him. The ones made in his arms, his unloving false arms' embrace that somehow once made me feel warm and made heart be tender. And in that false embrace I made mistakes under false illusions. Illusions that this.. boy, this child, could love me and make me feel like a woman! A woman I am not, I am but a child, a girl who has been broken by the same boy too many times and more. I tried to end it once, twice, and ended it be on the fifth. But this was all too little too late, as he had touched me and I him.
And is it so much to ask that I be loved again? It must have been for once another man loved me -- A man this time. Not a child, a boy. A man. And this man I turned down. I gave him false reason. For the real reason was that I did wish to be with this man -- but I was too afraid. The fear growing inside of me, a seed planted by a boy. And in the heat of the moment I fell for that man only to wake the morrow to tell him it cannot be.
Months later now, I thought I had convinced myself of this false reason. But in a moment of peace, no distractions to cloud my judgment, my heart caught up to my head and told me of the real reason. And now I am dead. The seed has stopped growing. But its venomous flower has already bloomed and done its damage.
I am but one of many broken hearted souls with many mistakes done and many more to proceed, to follow. And I ask of you now -- What should a girl do? When she no longer welcomes love -- But instead wishes it she had never known?

Welcome to my monologue.
Now let may you be haunted by it

    Step by wicked step, my boots sank further and further into the thick, red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles, radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch, squelch, squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me, the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil…

    Have you ever suffered? Did you get better or never quite recover? Did you find your lover laying with another? I did. No one tells you how cruel the world can be, or how to cope with tragedy and pain. I had been out of town for months away in the Army, and had come back to no warm welcome. My life, my love, my fiancée was with another. I had always held on deeply to her whispering seductively in my ear “always”, but always is valueless and I wish I never heard her speak a word. Loves funny, the way one day it’s there and the next it’s not. It doesn’t ask to be excused and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. Looking back on when we were together, before this monster came in to wreak his havoc, maybe I never tried hard enough and it’s my fault.…

    It becomes almost annoying to think of someone in this state only having been in seven days of separation. What would a person like this do if the person he was waiting for was never to return. Such a person could not live a life of normalcy with such sadness hanging over their head. It is difficult to determine if this is a true account of someone in love, or if it is only a conceived notion of love by the author. Since the speaker of the poem switches between stanzas, it appears that this is a story of fiction. But that is not to say that this author has not felt such emotions before. Possibly it is an account of the authors take on feeling love in the past, now having known love writes a love story. Some details of the story appear all to true and would be difficult to write unless having lived some of them. The idea of wishing for a parent’s approval is probably a familiar concept to anyone who has ever been in a relationship. How could someone believe that love would feel such a way unless having felt it…

    The background behind this monologue was when Romeo saw Juliet at Mercutio’s and Benvolio's party, hoping to get Rosaline off Romeo's mind. Before the party Romeo was heart-broken over Rosaline and was convinced that he would never be able to get over her. However, he quickly forgot about Rosaline as soon as he laid eyes on Juliet. The main idea of this passage is basically saying how Romeo has never seen a girl as beautiful and as pretty and Juliet and how he would do anything to see her again. One character trait that Romeo is showing us early on is his shallowness.…

    Every day we are given a fresh start; another chance to move forward in our lives and accomplish the things we thrive to achieve day to day. A new day can also liberate us from our past mistakes and provide us with a chance to change our ways. We are all faced with misery and misfortune at points in our lives, some more than others. We must recognize that it is not the burden in itself that shapes who we are, but how well or how poorly we deal with the difficulties. Sometimes misfortunes can be seen in a negative light; because it seems unjust, therefore we response in a negative matter, and become negligent to change. Overcoming tragic events is what truly counts, for we are meant to live happily and in acceptance that there are things that we cannot change. In many cases, individuals seem to feel as though they’ve lost an amount so great that they are unable to free themselves of the pain. This perspective often leads to further suffering. A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahou and Kiss Me by Andrew Pyper demonstrate a loss of identity, negligence towards communication, and eventually leading to the destruction of a relationship.…

    Everyone has had a bruise, some of them last longer than others, but they always disappear. Scars, just as Leav writes, leave marks. Both are painful, but one leaves you with the reminder that you were once hurt. When you truly love someone and things don’t work out, you are left with hurt, and pain, confusion, and frustration. “We had no ending, no said goodbye. For all my life, I'll wonder why.” It’s a different type of pain to feel confusion; to never really know why you can’t have the one person you want, to never feel closure. For those who have dealt with never knowing why things ended, they will always have a scar. “What was it like to lose him?" Asked Sorrow. There was a long pause before I responded: It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to me—said all at once.” If you think about all of the times you’ve had to say goodbye to someone you love, you realize that goodbyes are hard and they can be emotionally draining. Imagine all the emotion you feel from all the goodbyes ever experienced, hearing them all at once could wreck a soul. The scars heal, the reminder is there but “Over time she will learn, not to miss them.” It’s not easy missing someone you can’t have, anyone that has experienced this knows and can relate to her writing. It goes hand in hand with the old saying, “time heals all wounds.” With time the pain subsides, and eventually you…
