Foolish Youth, Misplaced Love

August 30, 2011 by admin | Filed under Chronic Pain or Illness, Domestic Violence, Healing, Relationships/Marriage.

 

My heart hurt and then I met you
I gave it away, wrong thing to do

I wish I had waited, at least a few
But my body spoke louder and gave in to you

Over the years, my pain grew and grew
What I thought was love, meant nothing to you

The bruises, the breaks, what misery I knew
Was all because I stupidly believed in you

And 30 years later, I still suffer the wrath
Of allowing my heart to join your path.

I no longer love you, that is long gone
But my body will never forget all that was wrong.

The moral I share is one for so many
Don’t stay with a person who beats you bloody.

Sunday August 7, 2011

Chronic physical pain from broken bones on my spine has brought up a lot of regrets to my lack of courage to leave a situation that was so abusive many years ago.  Verbal and physical abuse are NEVER worth the love you think is that of a soul mate.  Soul mates don’t beat you or threaten to kill you or your family if you leave them.  Don’t let the days that seem so wonderful confuse you with the truth.
