I suffered a devastating loss, my person lost her fight with cancer, after 21 months of fighting with all she had to live, she passed away March 30,2017. No one on this earth knew me better than she did, loved me like she did, gave me peace, comfort, was my anchor when my mind went haywire and reality didn’t make sense. Very few know of or get to experience the type of connection we had, I recognize and am thankful for the blessing of her.
I’m not an easy person to love and since losing her my walls have gotten thicker, my heart further away from being touched. Part of this is grief, part of this is fear, part of me being lost without her and also knowing I will never have that again. A hidden part, is me being a coward.
I met this chick, this tiny, feisty, quick-witted spitfire…who had no idea I was in this lifestyle. The chemistry, the power exchange has been intoxicating. My Domme side rising to the surface so quickly that it left me light-headed at times. So many times I imagined spanking her ass because of her mouth, making her moan and whimper. Smiling as her pale skin turned red, as she wiggled on my lap, knowing she was wet, aching, wanted more but that was all she was getting.
It wasn’t that I wanted to tame her, dim her spirit, I welcomed her sassy mouth, the challenge of her. She submitted to me so easily it seemed, wanted to be mine….was open to exploring with me. It was thrilling and scary, a huge responsibility and an honor. But I am a coward.
Since the loss of my person, I have been struggling, who am I without her? Where does my life go now? I want to fulfill the promise I made to her, that I would go out and live, find love again…but I think I’m more fucked up than I realized and I don’t know how to fix myself, if I have the strength to.
Then here comes my little devil, with her outrageous sense of humor, brattiness oozing out of her, her heart kind, gentle, giving. I didn’t realize how dark my life had become, how lonely until her light blinded me, until her sense of humor had my stomach aching from laughing so much and I felt like I was coming back to life.
I am a bi switch, she is “traditional not vanilla” lesbian. What it all came down to and she said it perfectly, was that she couldn’t meet my needs and I couldn’t meet hers. There was so much more I wanted to say, explain during that conversation but she didn’t ask questions and to me that shows not being interested.
So much I have learned about myself on this journey with her, I didn’t know I was poly but I have realized that a man or a woman can’t give me everything I need. I need both, the outlets and the balance and she can’t share, which I get and respect. She wanted to try, which meant so much to me and I wish I had asked what that looked like to her but I didn’t.
I ended things, positive that it wouldn’t be healthy for her, that parts of her might be happy but deep down she wouldn’t be, that anger and resentment would grow. Her happiness and well-being is important to me and I took it as my responsibility to make the best choice for her. I miss her badly, the light and laughter she brought into my life, the challenge of her, the power exchange, how she would make me feel as she sassed off to me.
Me being a coward is me being safe, not having to work through issues that I’ve been struggling with. It’s me not hurting others, not being hurt. It’s me on a dark road, lonely and wondering if I will ever allow someone to love me again. I know my person would be kicking my ass right now, even as she understood. Maybe in time I won’t be such a coward.
