Quote of the Week
There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.
Laurell K. Hamilton
A Six-Word Story
Feeling my heart breaking into pieces.
Quote of the Week
Who can remember pain once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see.
~Margaret Atwood
Swollen
Eyes
cry rivers
of immense hurt
enormous pain feels endless
swollen.
A Six-Word Story
The hurt still holds her back.
Quote of the Week
When we invest ourselves in deep personal relationships, we take a risk. We could always get hurt. The more we expose ourselves, the greater the potential for pain. No one can hurt us like someone we’ve trusted with our heart. No one.
~Dave Earley
A Six-Word Story
He said goodbye. Her world crumbled.
Quote of the Week
If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you’re allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.

Moonlight
Old music playing
Beneath the quiet moonlight.
Inside, she just died.
How?
How can they do that?
Throwing away what I can
only dream about?
Sometimes I Wish We Never Met
You were smart, cool and sweet. You’re a breath of fresh air. You’re everything any girl would’ve wanted. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d go farther than being friends. But I wanted you in my life. You were my muse. You showed me another positive side of life. Eventually, I trusted you. Then, I loved you.
But what could have happened if we just never met?
Quite certainly, I would’ve saved myself from a tremendous heartache. Did you come in my life to teach me a lesson? If so, I wish you were a lesson I didn’t have to learn. Things weren’t so perfect when you came but I was okay. Still, you were there to cheer me up. Made me look at life from a different view. Said things are going to turn quite well. You offered me wisdom. You helped me become whole again.
Then you broke me just the same.
I’ve been contemplating for a very long time now if you were ever worth the love and time I gave you. Was the joy I felt with you worth this pain? Was it wrong to break my rules for you? Was I so naive to think that I meant something to you? Was it wrong that I trusted you? Or was I a fool for loving you?
If I could turn back time to the night we first kissed and change it all, I will. If only I knew that you’d give me more pain than joy, I would have left it all the way it once were. If only I knew you’d leave me for little mishaps and uncertainties, I shouldn’t have let things went too far.
Perhaps it’s true that everyone we meet in our lives come for a purpose or a reason. None of it is a coincidence. None of it a mistake. It’s been some time now since you did what you did and I’m trying to put them all past me. But some days, it all just comes back, reopens the wound you left me and hurts like hell again.
That is why sometimes, I wish we never met.
Quote of the Week
Sometimes we just have to cut off the dead branches in our life. Sometimes that’s the only way we can keep the tree alive. It’s hard and it hurts, but it’s what’s best.

A Six-Word Story
Love means hurt to me now.
A Six-Word Story
Hearing your name is still heartbreaking.
Quote of the Week
When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let go. Surrender all attachments to people and things that you have been struggling to hold on to.
-Iyanla Vanzant
Quote of the Week
Music has that power to revive memories, sometimes so intensely that they hurt.

In a cruel world
I stand strong and gentle, though
full of wounds I am.

Words do cut deeper than blades.

I Stayed
I was faced with two choices:
the choice to leave
and never see you again,
or to stay and feel the pain
of you not loving me.
Maybe it’s wrong,
maybe it’s stupid,
I don’t know…
but I stayed.
What Could Be?
What could be worse than
intentionally hurting
the people you love?
A Six-Word Story
I broke my heart loving you.
Unsure
Unsure what hurts more…
Losing you or knowing you
didn’t fight to keep me?
Quote of the Week
When a person tells you you hurt them, you don’t get to decide you didn’t.
-Louis C.K.
A Six-Word Story
Silent tears stream behind closed doors.
Dazed
So we connected
Unsaid bond I thought was made.
Then you fired the gun.
Quote of the Week
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.
And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.-Dalai Lama
