I should be
happy for you.

She gives you
what you deserve
you, with your
magnificent heart
and echoing
kindness
but it rips
through my soul.
Even so,
I hide it well

For every ounce
of happiness
you have, there is
a tear I've shed
silently.
All the while
commending her.

I should be
happy for you-
I know, but

Love
is not always beautiful.

-Trina.

Yep. Actually there are times when you shouldn't be happy for certain people. It's okay to hold onto hurts, just not so much that it controls you.

What Jerry said. Sometimes love can get pretty ugly.

Wanting what we cannot have is one of the toughest emotions around....no doubt about that.

Ouch. I liked the entirety of this poem, but the lines above I really related to. Thanks for sharing this.

Fine writing Trina, tough situation to be in, sometimes love itself is a toughest proposition.

Jerry- Indeed, sometimes being happy for others is like a punishment- and you just have to let go.

Andrew- Indeed.

Balladeer- Perhaps its just human nature.

Kaoru- Thanx for looking in.

Mae- I've never been one who beats around the bush Thanx.

Prasad- Thanx. Eh, Love is sometimes too complicated to be bothered with.

James- Thanx. Yep, its always later when we see things clearly.

-Trina.

Love
is not always beautiful....

ah such a sweet line, or put in a better context, a bitter line written so sweetly.
