I plaster pain's number
all over the bathroom stall
I rip your words
to pieces
Discard your name
down the drain
I'm going to get
from point A to point B
eventually
It isn't always going to be this hard
You aren't always going to be on my mind
You aren't always going to control my dreams
God has a plan
for both you and me
Sometimes I understand
and sometimes I don't
I gotta get over
You
completely
Sometimes I just want to hang on
but that only makes it more difficult
to receive what God has in store
Sometimes I just want to get rid of you
but that makes me feel confused
I'm not supposed to question
and ask Why
I have to remind myself
that things would never have changed
You would still be you
and I would no longer be me
The tears still scar my heart
I know it's not permanent
I wasn't happy anyway
You were a season of love
Not a lifetime

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

too many compromises aren't a good solution.

I love your thoughts, dear Kristen.

There is strength in this piece.
Well done.

Love,
Margherita

Remarkable ending....enjoyed it all.  Love
can be such a frustration.

I enjoyed the thoughts here...
"You were a season of love."  I believe that relationships always have a beginning and an ending...ever if a young couple were to fall in love and marry at 18, and enjoy perhaps 60 years of wedded bliss, one would pass away before the other and the relationship would end...but that would be the ultimate blessing for them, to have enjoyed so many years of companionship and love...this is life...James

oh this is heartwrenching Kristen... you have expressed your pain in words that I know all too well... this too will pass..   love RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........
