Hard to Love

Love is hard to accept

When you have been beaten.

Love is hard to return

When you have been bruised.

Love is hard to give

When you have been broken.

Boy, this hits close to home.
It's a very powerful and beautiful poem, in its own way. A very important message that made me tear up a little bit. Thanks for sharing this.

Great job making such a short poem so incredible and truthful!

This breaks my heart, Lexi.
One who obviously desperately needs that which she's been so discouraged from seeking and accepting and giving back, is sadness at its pinnacle.
A truly poignant, but well-struck piece from the tender, deserving mind, heart, and soul of one who's been there, done that (or, so it would appear).

Lexi, my eyes brimmed-over! ⁓ Richard 🍃

I'm glad that I was able to strike a nerve with this poem, it's exactly what I was intending to do. Thank you for your praise, Richard, I can't thank you enough!

You make poetry sing, Lexi … it was my distinct pleasure. 😊

The simplicity of this poem is what I adore most. Its clear and straight to the point, but also conveys such pain and a powerful message. Thank you for sharing.
