Dear Joe, I\u2019m at wits end tryin\u2019a come to terms with this shit,<\/em>
Feeling empty inside, like I\u2019d lost faith in humanity, sorry if it sounds so drastic,<\/em>
Thought I\u2019d found a real one, it was true romance in the beginning,<\/em>
After years of playin\u2019 and unions that done imploded, thought I\u2019d found one with whom I could commit with,<\/em>
But just like that it ended, can\u2019t speak for her but I tried to put in work,<\/em>
It\u2019s fucked up when things don\u2019t go your way despite your best efforts,<\/em>
Can only hold on for so long, in the end I had to let her go,<\/em>
She was my world, my everything, in her it\u2019s like I\u2019d finally found a home,<\/em>
Came up rough and took my knocks, my chance at a good life dashed with barely a parting shot,<\/em>
Thought we\u2019d built up something solid, turned out to be a mere house of cards,<\/em>
Didn\u2019t need no Big Bad Wolf, life huffed and puffed and blew it into shards,<\/em>
And now I\u2019m stuck in limbo, caught up between wanting to move on and hold onto the past,<\/em>
Conventional wisdom dictates go for the former but the heart can\u2019t forget \u2018bout what we once had,<\/em>
That\u2019s about the size of it, thought I should let somebody know,<\/em>
Ball\u2019s in your court now, what say you, Joe?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Brother, you ain\u2019t provided a name so I\u2019ma call you brother,
Quite a load that you done been carryin\u2019, sorry to hear \u2018bout this union imploding,
Break-ups are a drag, they won\u2019t always end with zero fuss,
One half might up and leave \u2018cuz they feel that they\u2019re with the wrong one,
Ya did the right thing, Homie, it takes two to make it work,
Wasn\u2019t meant to be, gotta set her free, even if it fuckin\u2019 hurts,
But while I sympathize I also gotta drop some hard truths,
I\u2019ma spell it out for ya, brotha, where you done set yourself up to get screwed,
No doubt your love was real but you committed a fatal error when you fooled yourself into believing that home and happiness can be found in another person,
That\u2019s why the fall-out cuts deep and now you\u2019re suffering, you dropped the ball and went all-in with your feelings,
You put your eggs in the one basket rather than cast the net wide for your investments,
Truth is it\u2019s an inside job, only you have the power to make you happy,
You\u2019ll finally be \u2018home\u2019 when you accept it, sorry to sound all sappy,
No doubt a significant other can color your life into something rosy,
But the sad truth still applies, everything is temporary,
That includes people, don\u2019t overlook the free will to which they\u2019re entitled,
They may ride or die with ya but there exists the possibility that they may also quit on ya,
That\u2019s the game of love, Bruh, it ain\u2019t always warm and fuzzy,
Gotta stay ready, always, in case ya get hit with somethin\u2019 grimy,
You see how easily friends can grow apart, even lifelong ones can go different directions,
Sadly couples can transition from lovers to strangers or maybe even rivals,
Tomorrow ain\u2019t promised, Bruh, neither are happily ever afters,
No point trying to find clarity and certainty within what may be temporary,
Understand that home and happiness comes from within, can\u2019t find it in status, places, people and possessions,
Invest in the one constant you have control over, the one staring back at you through the mirror,
How will you share love with another when you can\u2019t even show yourself some?
Self-care ain\u2019t no narcissistic endeavor, Brother, in life the successful continue to level-up,
Focus on self-improvement, explore the options around you, fuck what others are doing,
Opportunities in life and love\u2019ll come knockin\u2019 once you start growin\u2019 and movin\u2019 mountains,
Loving another shouldn\u2019t come at the expense of yourself, stand your ground when you have to,
Don\u2019t let \u2018em get one over you, don\u2019t let \u2018em treat you low and walk all over you,
For now cut your losses and move on, there\u2019s plenty of fish in the sea,
Wish ya nothing but the best, King, hoping that you\u2019ll soon find your true Queen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
