Feedback welcome. I'll be in tonight to visit. Peace, Joe

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family, so love isn't something that I had a firm grasp on. This one is about trying to work it out with someone from similar beginnings. Those of us with broken pickers tend to attract, and pick, those with broken pickers. 1990

Love hurts.
I thought.
That’s what
they
taught
me.

So now,
to love,
I hurt.
You.
Me.
Us.
Why?
They
taught
me.

I quit!
What?
Loving?
Hurting?
No!
Loving hurt.
Hurting love.

Peace, Joe

When we can recognize
what pulls us down,
we can make a conscious effort
to ignore the bad, having learned
the lesson first hand,
and get on with doing it right...

so we can hand it down
as it should be.

Well done, Sir...

What Sunshine said...and yep, a real good place to start healing is writing about it. Wishing you the best!
