This is great work Eileen, I love these sort of poems, this exposes emotions in a beautifully sad way, really well done. I've been working on one for a couple of weeks called, words, similar message, I'll post when finished. Take care. Regards Richard

This was hard to read because it's painfully relate-able. Most don't realize the hurt they've caused (and quite often unintentional)... but it's in our nature to smile and pretend it wasn't a big deal, because you love them. And the ones you love are the ones that can hurt you the most. Emotion at it's rawest!

Timothy...you are right on the money. We can't get hurt by those who have no control over our hearts. It's the ones who do who can rip our hearts to shred! :( Having said that, we can do the same so...it goes both ways! Thanks for the post! :)

I can appreciate that sometimes a smile hides the pain underneath. Very powerful little poem.

Yes....not many people can see beyond the surface. Maybe that's a good thing. I know from experience tha not many people are strong enough to handle that kind of pain. Have a good day, my dear.

ooh this one hurts but it helps us realise we should be careful what we say or how we say it really xx

Thanks for the post, Mandy! Always good to hear from you! hugs! Yes...I've wounded others as well, so I'm in no position to judge, but this poem just had a way of getting the better of me!

Ya know what, we need to be Ike mood rings...turning different colors with our moods so people will know how they make us feel, wouldn't that be cool? Great poem Eileen

DONNA...I'm one big mood ring! My face says it all! ;) Even when I try to smile...it comes out lopsided when I'm side. My friend told me, "Wll, that's a fake grin!" I'm a mood ring all by myself! Thanks for the love and care!

some times we dont know what we are saying.

Eileen Ghali Date: 3/12/2013 2:19:00 AM

Yes, sometimes we just don't know...Those who love us will give us the benefit of the doubt, but a wound is a wound. Some heal easily...some don't. I take time!
