than to never have loved at all"
But damnit I need to know at what cost?
Is it better to have loved and then lost?
Did I have to give up everything for you?
Or allowing you treat me the way you do?
Love is sometimes not enough,things get rough
The tough get going and I stayed strong,tough
Instead of going I found myself prepared to stay
I loved you,taking it all,until near the end anyway
I would have preferred never to have loved at all
Than to have loved you, you needed me to crawl
All is fair in love and all? Not in my case mate
Love so easily changed to almost extreme hate
You hurt me, some couples love it this way
This was not for me I managed to softly say
Better to be badly treated, loved than all alone?
No! I say. You are to me a leper, unknown
Call a good friend to hear or listen to you, do
Love is supposed to be good and caring for you
They say they love you but they strike you instead?
Physically the blows land, beating you till you’ve bled
Find a way out, to escape the mental torment
I gave you my true love but you did not repent
Content you were to repeat the vicious cycle
The only blessings, our sons, Thomas and Michael
Time has passed us by, the boys growing
I have found myself loved again and forgiving
Grateful for the few things ~ but now moved on to better days.
A shred of life ignites the desire to build a dream on.
Here's a good question to ponder
From another dusty corner of Lit's archives
With Debbie asking, "What price love?"
