Does Hurting Ease Pain I've walked the narrow paths of pain Lost in the depths of despair and disdain Stretched out arms so weak from trying Mumbled words of sorrows, muffled, crying I have seen both sides of pain The inner self shatter And the outer self shudder I have searched for truth that never came Given of myself, losing all dignity Only to find what prevailed was animosity The bleeding of my heart will not cease For this wound is far gone to be mended Love I still have, and tenderness to lend But whatever reason your anger sees To keep hurting my being in its powerlessness I want you to know that I hold no grudge For if hurting me is what you want I shall see my days end untying the dove of peace Releasing it to touch your heart Telling you that pain I did endure And my love for you will remain as pure Because all the hurt cannot ever erase The good times we had together And the shared memories that last forever Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Daniel, that's a tough one....I don't know if it ever helps ease the pain, but you write of this beautifully. Hugs. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~ |

This tugged at my heart... Sometimes it hurts to love unselfishly... Beautifully written...  I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

Gentle Spirit, Pain is something that really betrays. Sometimes we cannot see people hurt, but in reality we all hurt somehow, because love is never without pain. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Man this is what I call tough and relentless love but sometimes you may have to let go cause I don't think someone should suffer as much pain from someone else...you know what I'm saying? Emotional and terrific piece! Nathan |

JD~ So very well said - When you pen your heart - the ache is there. I've heard that - There is a love so great that the pain of it embraces the ecstasy... and makes a heart long not to love. But try as we might - it doesn't happen so easily. *hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

"The inner self shatter and the outer self shudder." I know I've felt both of those somewhere along the line...I love you weave of hurt and pain and how the two can be different...well written.....love the idea all the way around! |

Serenity Thank you, pain is often lost while trauma takes control of a person in despair. Fighting for composure is the key to regaining that control. One has to persist. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Marge, Ethome, James, Paula, and Startime, Your words are very comforting, but this hurt deep within is one that will take a long tome to heal, and I realise that I have to live with it perhaps for the rest of my days. Life has to go on. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

For if hurting me is what you want I shall see my days end untying the dove of peace Releasing it to touch your heart Telling you that pain I did endure And my love for you will remain as pure Because all the hurt cannot ever erase The good times we had together And the shared memories that last forever ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DANIEL, the above I highlight touched me in ways I cannot find words to say... This spoke beyond words on page... The feelings weaved into this poem or may I say expression of poetic style just tugged at my inner emotions from the beginning to end... My compliments to you for the exquisite write... coco |
