Why does love hurt so much –
yet we can’t give it up - I love
people totally undeserving, I feel
sympathy for people locked up in
prison for doing deeds I would
never choose to do myself
Yet I have FELT the same FEELINGS –
the only difference is, I had a criterion
to decide between various emotions, while
they did not; early in life I decided love ‘per
se’ was dangerous - we might love somebody
who might hurt us too much
Like my dad loved my mother, yet could never
win or earn her love in return; or we might smother
someone who longed to be free – whatever we do,
we have no control over the emotions of another, we
cannot dictate what they should feel – without a small
bit of authority, I can’t play this game of
Hit and run love – it is much too painful….
