I gave you my soul
Naked and vulnerable
What was I thinking?
All I wanted was your love
And you crushed me to pieces.
~
Love is what’s sacred
Yet you treat it like folly
And who’s is the victim,
Me…the one you claim to love
The object of your hatred.
~
Maybe I’m the fool
Gullible, the stupid one
Believing in love
Like Shakespeare’s starstruck lovers
And I’m Romeo
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
True love from other Human Beings is one of the hardest things in the world to find or to hang onto. There is a lot of truth to that old saying, “You only hurt the ones you love.” It seems to work the other way around too … “Only the ones you love end up hurting you.”
How very true, but I guess that is part of living and regardless of the pain love will always be worth it.
