The Shield
~ By Sue ~

You had my never ending love
Then you just threw it all away
I could not have loved you more
I loved you every single day

You said you wanted to be loved
The love I had was all for you
I gave you all I had inside of me
There was nothing else I could do

To no one else will it belong
Because it was all just for you
I still remember all you said
When our love was still brand new

I put the shield back up again
Around this heart of mine
Never again will I let it down
To be hurt another time

Good for you Sue!  You are doing well I see.  And..there will be someone else deserving of you one day.

Oh Sue!! I'm so sorry that you have been hurt. Please just remember... that shield around your heart may protect you, but it can hurt you as well. "Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making" (From song: I Hope You Dance)
Luck to you.

Hi Sue ~~ A shield can be such an important thing to guard and protect from hurt and pain. My friend, I hope one day, you will be able to take it down and let your heart flow free again.

How are you doing?  Hugs, Marti

Hi, Sue! You certainly can write this heart-breaking poetry very well!---I just wish you hadn't had to do so much personal research!
Sounds like you've been to hades and back---but slowly, but surely your heart is on the mend. You say you'll never take that shield down from around your heart, but never is a very long time. I think that the day will come when you will quite willing open up your loving heart again---it just needs a little more time right now.

Take care sweet Sue!
