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.

I find a certain truth of life in these words - it may be divine to forgive yet how many times can a simple human forgive hurts over and over? I loved the last line "until the you part of me dies"....it holds true that love can be killed slowly by lies and deceit.

Profiteering on another one's life, spending it like a drunken sailor. Leaving so little behind. How often it occurs; how painful it is to watch or experience.

Thanks for the words. Nicely phrased.

Everyone has a breaking point, and most of us don't even realise where it is until it is too late. A nice heart felt poem, and well written. XX
