I tried to conceal the hurt I felt,
In another mans temptation,
I wanted to lose myself agian,
Before I found that old sensation.

The one that leaves me crying,
Everytime I hear your voice,
That guilts my heart for leaving,
Even though I had no choice.

I wanted to taste a sweetness,
That I never found in you,
To bury it deep inside me,
Like you taught me to.

I thought he could make me beautiful,
Becuase I couldnt possibly love myself,
I looked to him for the  security,
I always thought I should have felt.

I gave myself so willingly,
Thinking that was my worth,
Becuase I let you bring me down,
And let you know how bad it hurt.

I know my son is beautiful,
He's my life and my soul,
But somehow you look past him,
As if you'de never known.

That his smile can bring a feeling,
That sets my mind at ease,
An innocent love he holds inside,
That is so amazing to me.

I havent healed the way I should,
Time has stopped somewhere,
He wasnt a way out for me,
But a distraction that would care.

Clinging isnt happiness,
Newness isnt love,
Challenges arent the end of me,
Love never should have hurt  this much.

Love should never hurt, but it is the great equalizer, just knowing that those who hurt us will most often go through what they did to us by someone else's hand...certainly doesn't make it right, but it happens, and if we are very fortunate, we learn from it!

Keep writing!

You are so right, it shouldn't hurt this much. You will make it, stronger on the other side. But it hurts getting there.
Take care.

No, love should never hurt like that! Pity there is no comfort in that truism...hoping you find the strength to discover love without pain.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Amber, you are right, love should never be this bad and should never hurt this much, and it should always be something that can endure each day and feel new every time you watch the sunrise and sunset as if you're falling in love all over again yet its history is in the making! (sigh) I pray soon you will find a new love that doesn't involve pain like this, sweet friend, my thoughts are with you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amber, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Honey, it's soooooooo good to see you again~

'I know my son is beautiful,
He's my life and my soul'

That his smile can bring a feeling,
That sets my mind at ease,
An innocent love he holds inside,
That is so amazing to me.'


To know that amazing love of a child makes all others pale in comparison dear lady~

Love you~
