On A Journey To The Unknown

Was I wrong in loving you
I did everything I could do
To make you happy everyday
Even hoping that you'd stay

You always come and you go
I have always loved you so
Still I can't even keep you here
For you I won't cry another tear

Nor will I ever again live in fear
The way I did that one year
Of being hit by you another time
I think I must have lost my mind

To continue to stay with you
Or even think you'd love me too
Sometimes I think I am unlovable
With you I'm always in trouble

I don't know what I do so wrong
With you it seems I don't belong

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, this is so so sad, I can feel the sadness behind your words! (big hugggssssss) You deserve so much too, no one should ever be abused this way, and no one should ever be denied and hurt like he has done to you! (wipes tears) You are loved by many, sweet friend, and He is preparing the perfect love for you! (sigh) Always believe in your heart, for we all love you so very much! (kiss on cheek) So sad but touching! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

NO ONE belongs with someone who will hit them. It isn't you who is the problem it is the one who makes you feel so badly about yourself. You are better off without someone you don't feel you have to constantly prove your love to. Love is something that just is and is shown in a look or a touch. It is not something that demands perfection of another. *sigh* I am sorry if I sounded off but I have been there and you do not deserve the kind of life that would give you. Find a man who is worthy of all the love you have to give not one who isn't good enough to kiss your big toe.   **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is very disturbing, if true.  I would have to agree with Startime.  It's hard to say brutality is good in any form (as in a poem) is what I mean.  Good luck to you.

Ther is a difference between unloved and unlovable.  Any guy that will hit a female is not capable of love. If they do it once they will do it again no matter how "good" you are to them.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Smartchick,

    I am SO glad you are no longer with the person  you wrote this about. No one deserves that kind of treatment. You are lovable, and you deserve love, NEVER doubt that.  A man like that simply don't know what love is.

Big hugs to you,
Tara

There is nothing at all wrong with you, he is the one who is unlovable. You deserve the very best, so please don't settle for anything less! A man must learn how to respect himself before he can ever respect a lady! True love will come to you soon enough


love,

Dear Smartchick,
Although you wrote this in the first person, I sincerely hope it is not autobiographical. No one should ever be in such a situation. It is well-written from the point of view of someone who has been so abused that she no longer has any self-esteem. It is a very disburbing poem.

Sue,
Where is that guy, we have a posse of Passion(ate) men that would like to straighten him out. Thrilled you figured out you didn't need him. I knew you are a Smart Chick.  

The past is history and the future is a mystery, but today is a gift and that is why it is the present!

Sue, don't EVER let anyone make you feel unlovable! If someone makes you feel that way, then they are wrong for you. There is someone who will make you feel loved....believe me. Don't settle for less

Sue,Wow, this was very touching and powerful. I can relate if this is based on your life.  I'm so glad your not with this worthless person anymore, you deserve better.
Yours was my first poem to critique, and I know I picked a great one, I'll definetely look for more of your work.

Take care, and happy holidays

You've touched a lot of hearts with this SmartChick, and mine as well. Wonderful advice above from everyone, and I can only echo their sentiments.  

Best wishes and big hugs,
