Painful Truth

by Baby Rainbow   May 28, 2013


No longer do I fight your love
because never once could I make it leave.
But I still feel guilty
when I accept the love you give to me,
for I know I am unworthy
and you deserve so much better than me.

I wish I could be everything
you always should have had,
but I am just this nothing
that got lost inside this world.
Your loving heart
should never have been broken
and I wish I had the power to
heal its fragile scars.

Every time you cry your tears,
I'm never there to dry them,
I never seem to be there for you
in the way I want to be.

And so this guilt inside me grows
each time you say you love me,
because my heart already knows
that you deserve so much better than me.

    I think the only real love is the love you can give yourself. Love is very difficult to overcome and lose. We all remember the good times in life and that is what makes us stay. I understand what you mean though. It does sometimes feel like we dont deserve the love of another. I thinl what you are saying is you have made mistakes and you hurt the one you love. You have to know that we all make mistakes and its hard to deal with. We always want to give our all to the one we love and in our mind its never good enough. You always want to heal the one you love and it hurts us because no one is there to save us when we need it. You shouldnot be ashamed that you ccan't always be there. Love is equal and the one you love should understand. T hat you need help too and it's hard when you can't. This is a very strong poen though as it shows how much you care and deep inside that love there is some kind of hurt. But you are stronger then you think. Xx 5/5

    You gave up the battle of trying to fend off that persons love for you, it didn't work because no matter what...they love you. You feel unworthy/guilty because you think they deserve more. Girl, let me tell you something... you are worth so much more than you will ever believe. Please don't ever doubt your worth! so many people will tell you that you are a gem that is worth so much that it's priceless. <3

    Second stanza: I'm unsure of why this persons heart was broken, maybe you broke the relationship off because you weren't feeling compatible with them? Sometimes that happens girl, people fall in love with people who doesn't mesh, who isn't the one...and it hurts that person to hurt them, but in the end you had to do what makes you happy and that person just wasn't it even though they were a good person.

    Third stanza: When that person seems to need you, you can't be there and it tears you apart.

    Ending: You feel guilty for them loving you because you don't return the love.

    Aw, this is such a heartbreaking write. You feel sadness/guilt for this person for hurting them, but you know, people don't intentionally hurt others, sometimes there is nothing we can do about it... you can't choose who you fall in love with or who you don't fall in love with, it just happens. You can't control love, it controls you.

    You know, relationships are hard..Any kind, whether romantic, friendship, or between family...Regardless, everyone has their own worth, but it might not be meant for a specific person to buy it.. if that makes sense...

    The last guy I dated, when I broke up with him, I said, I don't want to make you feel not good enough, because there is a girl out there who will like what you offer, but its just not me...we are too different, its not going to work.

    and we have to think that of ourselves sometimes to Saffie as hard as that may be. I dated someone for 3 years and didnt feel good enough for him. It hurt like crazy. But as time went on, I forgave him, and we talked. I told him that I always had a value, it just wasnt the kind you wanted to pay for ....we all have different things about us, but we have to find that one compatable person who is interested in all areas of our worthiness, and not just a small token of it.

    Hang in there girl, writing helps. I see it.
