She Said

Life isn't always black and white. In fact, it rarely is.

She said I'm wrong

I said I'm right

She said things are black and white

I said all things can be colored by perspective

She said I have a type

I said my type is people who can love

She said I love too easily

I said love shouldn't be so hard

She said I'm a fixer

I said only for what can be fixed

She said I like to fix people

I said I like to show people how they shine

She said I only love the broken

I said everyone is a little broken

She said I seek out the broken

I said those that need me find me

She said I'll never be happy

I said my happiness grows when others are happy

She said things will never be

I said seeds don't grow if you don't give them water

She said she can't

I said she decided she won't

She said it's impossible

I said she doesn't see the possibilities

She said she is broken

I said everyone is a little broken

She said she is tired

I said sleep and look forward to tomorrow

She said she's afraid

I said she has to face her fears

She said she loves me

I said I love her too

She said I love too easily

I said love shouldn't be so hard

Author's Note

Love shouldn't be so hard.

Amazing dance of words and thoughts.
"She said she loves me
I said I love her too
She said I love too easily
I said love shouldn't be so hard"
I agree with the above lines. In today world. People seem to fear all things. I believe we must be fearless and hope for a good ending. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I agree. If we love fearlessly, hate cannot divide us so easily.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. We must know forgiveness. Mainly forgive ourselves.

[Paul in the Buff]

Ooo. Yeah. That's a tough one for me. I tend to hold myself accountable far beyond the normal statutes of limitations...

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend.

Oh, my heart. This is so lovely, so wise, so true. It's so pure that it hurts.

[Paul in the Buff]

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[Joli Dy]

It's a bittersweet hurt, the good kind. And when your work engenders emotion, that's always good, no matter the emotion. You're good, Paul...really good.

It makes me happy that you think so. Because you know I will always beat myself up and demand more from myself.

I like the conversational style and the couplet structure here. There is a bit of the 'I know what's best' arrogance in the tone, but the advice seems to be delivered with helpful intent.

Sometimes in relationship, someone has to be the guide... thank you for reading! :)
