I Gave You My Soul

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

~

    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.
