Enduring The Pain Within

The pain I've been through,
The things I've endured
Doing it all because I love you

Letting it all go...

The lies, the confusion, the abuse...
Enduring it all because I love you

YOU!

The man who's suppose
To be there for me
The man who's suppose
To protect me

But has done nothing for me,
But treat me like a dog
Just to make yourself look "cool"

But I'm enduring it all
All because I love you
And I don' t want to loose you

Author's Note

My mom's book is entitled "Enduring The Pain Within" and I wrote this for her and recited it at her book-signing last night. (4/29)

Nice job. Not sure if you meant to use repetition or not, but I noticed that the word "endure" cropped up a lot. Also, in the second-to-last stanza, you might consider changing one of the "buts"--maybe say "except treat me like a dog." Great poem, though. It seems very fitting for your mom's book. She's lucky to have a daughter like you!

I remember being in a relationship like this, enduring everything he threw at me just because I loved him and I wasn't strong enough at that point to walk away from it just yet. But I think this describes alot of relationships that people are involved in. A sad read, but haunting. It'll stick with me.

love is an emotional ride...though we really don't have to endure pain or dissappointment to know true love...

I've noticed that you like to only focus on men. And although "love" is a major subject, you're just adding more and more flame to a fire that's not going to get any bigger.
You're having an extremely difficult time comphrehending what love really is, and just by reading your poetry, I can tell that you're really close-minded about what love truely is.
You have great talent, and your pieces are fine, I just suggest that you switch topics before you dig yourself into a hole that you cannot get yourself out of.

Very nice. I enjoyed this. But I hope you realize you are better than that and should not go out of your way when someone treats you that way.

Sad that the one that someone loves would abuse that person..You have expressed it so well..Sunflower
