We cut one another
Down to the very flesh
While we miss each other
Deep inside our bones

Isn’t that ironic?

A thing we do because we love... we hurt... we are human.  I suppose.  But perhaps we should just love.  It is not a small thing to offer kindness..

This hits hard. You speak the truth -  I love my mum more than anything in the world, yet at times I 1hurt her in ways unimaginable ways - and I hate myself for it. It&#8217;s painful how we take out our emotions on those closest to us, like when I'm angry at my dad, I can't scream at him like I need to, otherwise the house will crash down. So I take it out on her, even though I don't actually want to.

Until the cycle of co-dependencies is broken, it will always be like that.  Keep doing the work.  You can arrive at a place where love no longer hurts.

Ironic indeed, but that seems to be the way the world works.  Perhaps we know that our loved ones will love us and we take advantage of them.  Sad that.  Wonderful thought provoking writing.
