The Purest Form Of Love

The Purest Form Of Love

A Poem by poetforlife

Where did you go in

the stillness of the night

Why did you run away

and let your heart take flight

Try as I may, I can never win the fight

No matter how I love you, I can’t make it right.

The choice was up to you

And you chose to walk away

All the crying in the world

Will never make you stay

Something broke inside you

That I could not repair

It doesn’t mean I don’t ache for you

And want you to know I care.

As badly as you’ve hurt me

My heart still cares for sure

I have the rarest love for you

Forgiving and so pure

Though many think I’m crazy

And you don’t deserve my love

I know God understands it

And He’s watching from above

I’m begging for His mercy

So this pain will go away

I ask Him to watch over you

As you stumble and you stray

I can forgive you

Place the hurt up on a shelf

But the greatest gift you can give you

Is for you to forgive yourself.

Don’t let your mistakes in life

Torment you to your end

Embrace this life you’re given

And begin to live again.

Cause the pain and regret will eat you

Like an acid to your core

Strip away your humanity

Til you’re a shell, nothing more.

My wish for you is life and love

And a joy you can’t contain

My mind surrounds with memories of you

So I can let go of the pain.

I love you,my sweet baby

Nothing can take that away

I pray God’s blessings on your life

For all the rest of your days.

Wow you show a lot of courage in this piece... having to let go of a love cause you know it isn't right for many reasons, knowing maybe they or you are not emotionally ready or stable for the situation... a very powerful write none the less.

love can hurt and it and with that causes pain
but love you have for YOU!!! is worth more
then any kind of love you seek!!

If it is meant to be.......it will come back again with HONESTY...

Wow! This really packed a deep punch of emotion.
Such feelings you have penned here. Love does bite
at times, but sometimes it's also the best feeling ever.
You can't live with men, and you can't live without them.
