Where Does Love Live?

If Love lives in our hearts, what is living in the hearts below?

Listening to two males and two females describing the hearts of the people in their past relationships.

From my personal experience, this is my conclusion. This heart shares pain on the inside and outside. Its mouth is as sharp as razor blades. You do know what razor blades do when used as a weapon. Pain lives on the inside and outside of this heart. Pain is what this heart lives with and shares it. Love can cure this.

You and I know many humans with a heart like this. Please, share your love to heal this heart.

Listening to two people talking.

“Bella just broke up with me,” Vince complained to his cousin Charles.

“I told you, two people who are exactly alike, will have lots of problems in their relationships,” Charles explains.

“What are you a Psychologist or a matchmaker?”

“You bury everything inside of your heart causing yourself pain. Hers is on the outside which shows in her actions that she refuses to admit because she isn’t aware,” Charles reminds him.

“What are you saying?”

“I am saying that you need a female who isn’t afraid to express her self.”

“How is that going to help me?”

“Her ability to open up will help you to open up too and express yourself, thus releasing your pain.”

“You think so?” Vince earnestly asks staring at his cousin.

“Science says, men don't open up about certain things in their lives. But a female who loves you and isn’t afraid to express herself will motivate you to talk about what’s eating up your inside.”

“And you think that will improve your relationship and allow love to flow?”

“I think so,” Vince advises.

Two locked hearts will deny love from entering, but with a locked heart and an open heart in a relationship, hope sits in the middle. Hope and love, are winners.

Some hearts have been trampled on, leaving footprints of pain on them.

Pearl complains, “Kindness means nothing to her.”

“Really?” Ulanda asked, sipping a vanilla smoothie as they walked through the park.

“No matter how kind you are to her, she does nothing to show appreciation or return it to anyone.”

“That, mean?”

“She doesn’t give away prayers.”

“An empty heart ah?”

If kindness comes from the heart, what is in a cruel heart?

Some hearts are empty but still beautiful. No one can understand this. Some shine their own light too. This heart, love can enter, heal, and save. But it will take a lot of effort and hard work.

Some hearts are empty but beautiful. Love can still find a way in. No human can understand this. Send some love here, please. Can you?

Some of us can see with our hearts. Some people are blind, others like me who think with my heart, my heart can see what my eyes can’t.

All of us have our hearts broken and someone, with love and understanding, healed us.

Someone said, they rather have an empty heart and see from it than a happy blind heart.

What is a blind heart?

It’s a gift to be able to see with my heart. I swear.

Which would you rather? Empty or full, every heart needs love and can take it too.
