They say that a person can hurt you in relation to the level of their importance in your life.
He was and he is the second most important person in my life (next to myself).
That’s why if someone will ask me if he hurt me, I’ll tell them:

“He hurt me in ways I sometimes couldn’t bear the pain. He hurt me in ways I think he wouldn’t. He hurt me in ways I never really think my heart could handle. Loving him hurt me, as loving someone is always the best and worst decision one could ever make. But loving him is something I don't and won't regret.”

And I'll choose to love him again and again if I could go back in time.

Only Connect

Our connection
is a pale moon above
and stars that shine
they are yours as much as ever they were mine
we feel the grey of falling rain
the warmth of joy and the chill of pain
we live and we love, we laugh and die
under a yellow sun and the same blue sky

SONG

I’ll be there when you call
I’ll be there if you fall
In you I’ve found my future
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

I will watch while you sleep
I will hold you when you weep
My eternal love won't fail you
I'll be there
I'll be there

A while back I put up the first verse and asked for help with a second. I got a lot of suggestions but could't make them work. After some time a comment by a fellow poet gave me the inspiration for a second verse, which is above. I thanked her and then promptly lost her name in my damaged brain. Now all I need is a bridge.

Ya Get What Ya Give

Ya Get What Ya Give

Okay people listen here
I’m gonna take it from the top
You can’t make a baby cry
Then expect it to stop

There’s no reason for you to
Stop and question why
If you break an Angel’s wings
You can’t expect it to fly

And I’ll never come to understand
Why a push always deserves a shove
You know you can’t break a heart
And then expect it to love

If you’re not the Devil, understand
You can’t destroy someone’s soul
Then expect them to be happy
Or even pretend and play the role

So please take my advice if
You wish for a wonderful life to live
Always try to remember this
Ya Get What Ya Give

Goodness Good Heart

Heaven can descend
down to the dust
reaching out
to a good heart.
Even the hell burns
doesn't want
the evil inside.
