madonna sings it for me



Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye


somehow, madonna has the right song for the occasion. i really loved this song. i just never thought it would mean so much to me in the end.

she really has a lot of great songs.. I guess when we are able to step back a bit from pain, we are all able to transform the pain into something beautiful as we begin to heal...

words are so flimsy CC... just wanted to say that being the stranger that I am, I am by your side during this trying time...

I was introduced to your blog by my partner who has been following your posts on and off. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me so I decided to check it out. I must say, I understand why my partner read your blog. At first I had less than pleasant thoughts about you upon learning about your infidelity and when I had read what your partner had done, the immediate thought was that you got what you deserved. But I thought again. No, you didn’t deserve that. Your encounters were not enough to call a betrayal of the love. They were more just ways of, shall we say, release. What your partner did was far worse. Much worse. That was a total betrayal of the relationship. My heart goes out to you.

In your recent posts, I can’t help but recall what happened to me. I was with someone for close to six years only to be left because he says “he’s lost and needs to find himself” and he had to do this “on his own”. The pain I felt is quite similar to what you’re going through. Your staying together in the same apartment but not talking can also be likened to my seeing my ex in every gimik because we had the same set of friends already. Never a good feeling being in separate ends of the room all the time and seeing your friends also being torn.

Now, I’m very much happy with my partner and I thank my ex for breaking up with me because I got out of a relationship that was built on lies. I found out he was lying about a lot of things including who he is. I wouldn’t have found out if we had not broken up.

With all that said, I wish you well. And for what it’s worth, I know what happened was for the best. There’s always a good reason for everything. Be safe.

I hate Goodbyes. Hope you're doing better. Keep busy at other things even though it's hard. =) Chin up!

i can't agree more with this song.
when all else fails in your life, there is always...
MADONNA.

cheers dear!
