Some one once told me
Some one once told me
Love is not suppose to hurt
That love was shown through actions
And meaningless in words
That love could conquer all
But there’s no room for error
That love has no limits
Yet there are endless exceptions
That love is innate
But I know nothing of it
That love is to be earned
And shameful to easily surrender
That love will never find its way into my life
Because love does not overlook imperfections
If love does all that
How am I not going to hurt?

Beautiful expression of the inadequacy of unconditional love. Jesus loves you, Tootsie, unconditionally. He loves us in spite of all our imperfections. And He is deity. My heart goes out to you as I read the disappointment and pain revealed in your poetry. Blessings to you, Tootsie…

It’s complicated because human beings get their egos involved and start trying to control other people. It’s hard not to though…

You really got this right. Love gives and takes, has its ups and downs–just how you set up this poem.
Tootsie 1:36 am on December 3, 2010 Permalink |
It really does, I guess its what you make of it. Thank you for the comment!

I’ve been there; wondered about love, felt as if I’d never find it. But I did, more than once, in fact. Also, love does overlook imperfections. So don’t despair.
Here’s to love!
Tootsie 3:59 am on December 3, 2010 Permalink |
To love

clearly stated contradictions – love is enigmatic and inescapable.
Tootsie 2:57 am on December 4, 2010 Permalink |
I agree with you. I don’t think anyone will ever be able to understand it. Thanks for the comment

Wow–thanks for your comment on my rally entry! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. And whoever told you “That love will never find its way” into your life was so wrong, as I’m sure you must know. Thanks for sharing this emotional piece.
