Screaming words of hate from a heart that has only known love hurts the soul of the receiver.

Tears stream from the eyes of the unloved, unwanted, and uncared for soul who gives until it hurts.

Attitudes brings words through anger of the one being talked down to, but forgiveness is still there with the hardened heart of the oppressed. What more can a heart do to take away the pain it has been given? What can one do to mend the rips in the heart that’s hurt?!

Feelings surge with rage! Bad choices made! Fighting with love because it hurts! Cuts deep like a dagger being thrust into a bleeding heart.

When love hurts, it is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that lingers everyday. It is a pain that one never forgets. It is a pain that makes you want to give up fighting for something you have had for many years. It is a pain that makes your heart hard to not let anyone or anything in that could hurt it worse.

Seething heat makes the blood boil to the point of sweat. Sweat that pours like water from the inside out. Sweat that lingers even after the fact that the rage is over, but for how long? For how long will the rage be silent? For how long will the tears stop flowing? For how long will love hurt?! For how long will hate linger? For how long will eyes be red? For how long will a soul feel dead? Dead from the numbness inside? Dead of selfish pride? Dead from being unloved, unwanted, and uncared for? Dead from being alone? Dead from ridicule? Dead from abusive words, and lies?

Deep in thought while the stomach growls from hunger, but ignored because of hurt, pain, and lies. The night will be sleepless. There will be only deep thinking…no dreaming…no laughing…only tears.
