A Steel Thread

Trust and communication, the downfalls and weakness of love. A heart can be smothered by either to much or lack of each. A steel thread easy to fall off, but not that easy to completely break.

Both trust and communication are relationship bridges that mush be crossed, but to do so leaves us vulnerable and ads weight to the other halves will. Pride keeps our face unreadable, while our hearts scream for understanding. If only human nature was kinder, but unfortunately there are always the players of the heart and soul who leave there mark with a scar. Even if one does not experience the scar 1st hand, there is a ripple effect and everyone close to the victim is effected. A plague of the spirit really.

I feel slightly hypocritical after writing this, because I am one who needs to work on both. It is definitely easier to spill these words, than to actually act out this delicate balance. But to be honest, I do try. Frustration and stress crawl under my skin, however, and mar any rational thinking I may have entered the conversation with.

I sit here and listen to the song "Broken Bridges" by Toby Keith and Lindsay Haun, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PN47fdLuUY
and the words bring tears to my eyes. The song is simple yet amazing, and really explains what I am trying to say.

Thank you for taking the time to read my prattle and hope everyone has better luck with this subject then me.
