Hurt and Pain

Hurt And Pain

For all the hurt and pain you gave me, in exchange for the
pain you left in me. I'll dedicate a song to you. When we sing
we don't feel sorrow, or pain. as we sing, we can curse, or 
we can bless.

Listen to the song and listen well and you will see - there is
no more hurt, there is no more pain. You are no more what 
you once were. I won't wait for you anymore. I won't cry for 
you anymore. I want to smile, I want to laugh, I want to be
happy again.

If you want to come back - you'll be taking a chance. I'll play
your game, but I'll do it my way. I'll have to be first, there is
no other way. I'll play my own cards and I won't lose. So 
what do you say - do you still want to play...

Thank you for the wonderful comment on my My Way poem. Lucilla Carrillo June 11, 2014 at 11:09 PM Thank you so much for the visit.

Stephen Kilmer October 15, 2013 at 4:45 PM A very nice piece. Sound like you need to let this love go and find some respect. I hope you become stronger through this write. ~Kilmer

Bl Devnath October 5, 2013 at 8:03 AM Emotional poem beautifully penned. I think it's one sided sacrifice, is it not? Certain things are there like certain people, no one can change them in any way. Stubborn heart not knows what the love is because of selfishness, I do think. Thanks for sharing this. Loved always, bl

Robert Pettit September 30, 2013 at 7:10 AM Let him know who is in control. Good write as usual.

Richard Lamoureux September 29, 2013 at 9:22 PM I think you should change the poem title to "Do you still want to play" to me that moves you to being in control and it matches more the tone of this piece. It speaks to your power as a woman. Whatever the title, it is a well expressed idea and poem. Hugs Rick.

Russell Sivey September 29, 2013 at 1:57 AM I know what you mean, whenever I sing it does take away the pain, sorrow, and the hurt! And if I hurt that much to want to sing away the blues I probably wouldn't let that person back into my life unless she has shown and proved her change to me, that I wouldn't feel the hurt and pain again! I really enjoyed reading this incredible poem this evening! What a tremendous piece here my friend, Great Work!!
