tortured hearts

I love you
who is unkind to me
selfish one
who has me not in his thoughts,
feelings unwelcomed
to man from heart
against both, i fought.

I love you
who hurts me so
sword in hand
against me you strike
i fall to rise, to cradle you
i feel, i hear your cries.

I love you
to hell and back
my love with you shall always be
but all i ask
what of my tears
what of your love for me.

The title says it all Itchywitch. I believe that once in a while we come to terms with all the sorrows and griefs in our life not as a sort of punishment but to feel how great it is to rise above it and say...I am ready again.

Thanks Itchywitch for sharing...

'What of your love for me'?

Love is something given and never taken, all too often love is not returned and that's a hurtful thing to happen. Perhaps then 'true love' is really about love being returned as freely as it is given?

Itchy.... Whoe.....how well you put pure feeling into such writes....like the sizzling heat from a glowing branding iron....you don't mince your words or meanings. This works back and forth the gender roles can easily be reversed....and when we all come away from a hard day in a cruel world....it sure woud suffice to know that home is like a refuge from the world...and experience such...that is all I will ever ask....and only wish to share....thanks for your poignent reminder of what love should be.....

"sword in hand
against me you strike
i fall to rise, to cradle you
i feel, i hear your cries."

"but all i ask
what of my tears
what of your love for me."

such beautiful lines so well crafted from the heart...elo..
