I Love You Through Your Pain

To love your pain justly challenges me, and I promise to rise to the challenge.

Pain, in all its forms,

Assaults you in varied ways.

The sharp knife cutting through your mind,

That light intensifies.

The crushing weight of memories,

Too difficult to forget.

The lesser pains that come from doubt,

About your journey's path.

The daily strife of struggle,

To meet the world's requests.

If I could remove all the pain,

I would do so gleefully,

But that would mute the parts of you,

That justly challenge me.

I love you not only in times of joy,

But with every waking thought.

I'll hold you through the times of pain,

'Til loves sweet touch is sought.

All I ever ask of you is simple in its way,

Share with me your life's full pain,

Each and every day.

If I could remove all the pain,
I would do so gleefully,
But that would mute the parts of you,
That justly challenge me.
I love you not only in times of joy,
But with every waking thought.
I'll hold you through the times of pain,
'Til loves sweet touch is sought.
All I ever ask of you is simple in its way,
Share with me your life's full pain,
Each and every day.

The mood is very overwhelming. The structure and flow of the words is really nice. very good piece.

[Krista Weiss]

Awww!! Really cute and sad poem!! I love it!!

[Persona]

I can relate to this and that's why I liked it - how memories can make you grimace. It's very sweet - a poem of loving a person for who they are and I can see you've thought about how to write this. As an improvement, I would word things in a simpler way. "The daily strife of struggle" for example. I know sibilance sounds nice, but the best poems flow well throughout.

[AleyshaRosa]

I feel sad reading this, only because I wish I had the privilege of one with such hearing ears despite the pain of my past.

The poem itself, the flow, the love is beautiful. I appreciate your giving, eager, patient attitude.

Excellent poem, loved the lines,

If I could remove all the pain,
I would do so gleefully,
But that would mute the parts of you,
That justly challenge me.

[quinfinn]

takes one to the very crux of what it means to truly love another with your entire being and slaps you in the face with the realisation of 100% commitment to that very soul. splendid piece of writing here.

"The daily strife of struggle, To meet the world's requests." ... I can relate with this one... Especially with the decision I'm making right now..."

"Share with me your life's full pain, Each and every day." ... I also like this line ...

Nice job... I like your poem...
