[8/365] Water

He had tossed around words carelessly in his anger and left in a fury once again. She knew he would be back. He always was and she always took him back silently. Her love for him did not let her stay angry at him for long. She always forgave him before he asked and that, probably was her biggest fault. She thought about him once more. Her heart ached at his words.



He had said she was like water, taking the form of the container that held her. He had accused her of not standing up for him. He did not realize what made her so. She had once been a solid rock. But the pain he caused every time they disagreed and the words he spoke in his fury had slowly crushed her and she had just dissolved in her tears, becoming water.

P.S.: I know I missed first twenty days of the year. Nevertheless, Happy New Year.

    Nostalgic, yet nicely penned. :)

  2. But, it really doesn't matter, because she agrees she did not stand up for him, no matter what made her do so.

    1. Well, its similar to this... A blunt blade after sometime becomes sharp if you keep sharpening it ! The blade has no choice in it.

    2. If I am getting it right - So you let someone sharpen the blade, for whatever reason, to butcher your poor guys heart?

  3. You are so cruel! You let someone influence you, you cut his heart open & now you whine in your blog that he is not understanding why you did it!

  4. Better late than never.
    As for the post, isn't that what everyone tells us to be like, flowing water? Or it is just that people like us do it, and fail.

    1. Different people have different opinions. Life is full of paradoxes. If you are strong in your belief, like a rock, they call you a rebel and if you are adaptable, they call you spineless !
