Lost, confused, and hurting

Lost, confused, and hurting 




I found love, 
so fragile it was, 
and yet stronger than my own soul. 

Lost in my confusion, 
of who I am, was, 
and could be. 

My heart torn to shreds, 
my passion and love, 
burn bright for you. 

My tears paint my face, 
and salt my lips. 

Who am I but two people, 
trapped in one body. 

Each one clawing, 
begging to be set free.

Love is a lost art, at least to me it seems to be, Ron. I firmly believe that love causes more pain and suffering that anything else in the world. Still, we lick our wounds and try and try again. Keep clawing, you'll climb out of the pit you have found yourself in.

[ron]

Thank you. I will try.

Thank you Ivory. But it's the other person I'm hurting.

We often feel torn apart by wanting to do the right thing by others, it's a sad place to be Ron, you've pen'd it aptly, the frustration is palpable.

[ron]

Thank you Frieda. Sometimes it's very hard when your heart is torn.

[Frieda P]

So true, but you know you can't make everyone happy, and they all go on to live their lives, whilst you remain miserable...

[ron]

I know and thank you Frieda.
