Braving Connection After Betrayal

Journal 10: Valentines

February 14, 2025 · Journal

Valentines

No card, no kisses, no roses.

Contempt, coldness, and ice.

He told me, “I am only a parent partner.”

I said, “Oh, that’s nice.”

I did not understand at the time…but now I think I do.

My body went naturally into blindness…but I could not stay there long.

I have learned too much and grown too much to hide my head in the sand.

No card, no kisses, no roses.

Contempt, coldness, and ice.

I am only a parent partner.

No, this isn’t nice.

Now this is what the LORD says — the one who created you, Jacob, and the one who formed you, Israel — “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (CSB)
