Only So Much

Time can only erase so much pain.

Tears can wash away only so much deceit.

Words can chase away only so much hate.

A band aid can only cover so many wounds.

This heart can only bear so much breakage.

This body can only handle so much abuse.

These hands can only hold so many burdens.

My eyes can only witness so much horror.

My lips can only keep so many lies.

My love can only give so much of me.

Before somewhere something snaps inside.

And the you part of me slowly dies.

So true. Great piece.

[Rain]

This is a strike at the heart piece. So much truth in every line. There is a limit to being human, and there comes a point when you must protect your core. Rain..

[Robert Luna]

This was beautiful written and speaks volumes of truth and hurt. There is only so much. I loved the way you conveyed this in a piece in which people can so easily find themselves connected and relating to the thoughts and words. We all struggle with these types of thoughts and feelings more times than we care to think about. But the beauty of thoughts are that we have something that we can all understand that we are similar in so many ways.

this poem is a cry for help that many women share, thank you for speaking out for all who are too afraid to do so themselves!

There is a lot of emotional pain in this - time failing in it's healing.
Well done.
