Pain In My Heart

Pain in my heart, love on my mind.
Direction and guidance - it’s hard to find.
If I was a bird I would be high in the sky, 
Flying… 
Looking down and at times diving.
So I suppose I am in some strange way trying to stay above water. 
Trials and tribulations that often come my way.
Hard to explain, without complaining, naming, or getting lost in the situation itself.
I’ve read all the self-help literature, but still can’t explain a bit to ya…
We go through our own battles.
We all deal with in a particular way, at the end of the day it’s all the same.
We all need love, so let’s stir it up.
So let’s stir up the pot…
Pain in my heart, love on my mind, pain in my heart.
But love is on my mind.

I enjoyed your take on love. It really isn't in those self-help books. Love is a pain. A pain we must endure. Well written. Yes I love stirring the pot. It makes life interesting.
