It hurts
this time

I didn't think
it would

(though this time
I still love you)

but it does

Sitting here
watching my
heart
break

into a million pieces

I should have known
it would happen
I was being overly
optimistic that it wouldn't

I just didn't think
it would hurt

It always hurts. But you'll never get it right if you give up. And I'm positive you'll get it right. After all, you deserve the best!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

It never doesn't hurt.  But when struggling against the tide, the best thing to do is just float with it -- my daughter told me that and I like it.   ....jo

Larry's right... It always hurts. But if we're lucky... it hurts a bit less... and over time... still a bit less... until it's bearable.

I liked this very much!

I  understand.  I hate it when I hurt! But then, sometimes I think maybe it is a good thing to have the ability to feel.  Good things will come just as others have indicated.  Hang in there, Skyfire.

I like that the good stuff comes back.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Skyfire, you know what you need to do.  After all, who gave your poem the title: Lesson STILL Not Learned (capitals and all)?

Light your flame, lift your eyes and fly into your sky on the wings of Pegasus, and make your loneliness turn into peace.  You deserve so much more than this man - but only you can break free!  The right man will find you, or you will find him.

I am where you are and trying to take wings and fly... lets gather the strength together and sour above the hurt.
