You cast your words like a skilled warrior in war The sarcasm can be heard for miles around Protecting your heart, so so you think The pain to me feels like a million bees stinging at once You inevitably always say your sorry All is well until tomorrow As I reach deep down and ask myself a question A question I'm not sure I want the answer to When is enough, when do you know you've given your all Is it when you feel empty and alone? Even though you smile on the outside Or is it when tears consume your life, but yet the wet never touches your face I have given you every inch of my love You have every breath that I take And still...you seem to want more You say that you are confused Perhaps I should end this and stop your confusion I'm not mean at heart though Instead I become more like a punching bag Something that gets hit over and over again in fustration Then you whisper you love me I feel peace inside my heart Deep down though I know it is false For if you love someone, you would be kinder in your words and more gentle in your actions I know that you are sad, but it's no longer an excuse that washes with me I'm too tired and I'm too old for the endless games They are games too, you should have said from the beginning you weren't sure Instead though like everything else, you bottled it deep inside of you Now I sit here, and I think back over everything And I feel the tears They are hot and wet upon my face As my soul cries... "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Wow. I see this in close connections to myself and it causes great sorrow that they do not know the truth of love. Truly, love speaks softly in kindness. Best to you, Susan The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

there always seems to be one who loves to hard and one that does not love hard enough.......if only there was a balance in love and relationships, such sorrowful words would not cause me to shed a tear. |

Sounds like this person doesn't love themselves -- so, how could they love another fully...abusive people have issues that need to be worked out; unfortunately they usually do hurt the ones they love or the ones that love them. Sorry for your sadness. ......jo |
