I wish I knew...

I didn’t know I have the power to stop things.

I didn’t know I could be that brave.

I didn’t know I could pretend all the way.

I didn’t know I could be hurt so bad.

 

I didn’t know I could stop my tears from falling.

I didn’t know I could say I’m fine when I know I am not.

I didn’t know I could smile like everything’s okay when I feel broken and crushed for the a millionth time.

I didn’t know how I could write this even thou my fingers we’re so numb.

I didn’t know, guess this is love right?

I wish I didn’t know.

Sheen Leigh, yes - this is love.
You wrote it all so splendidly here. When the unicorns and tweety birds dissolve, yes, this is love.
When the s**t piss and vomit of life kicks in, yes, this is love.
I also wish i never knew. You write for the multitude here. bravo

Don't we all wish we didn't know after some time? But on the other side the knowledge of love and hope keep us going. Yet you writings are really relatable and touching!

Love is many things mostly four letter words associated with it are pain,hurt,ache,kind,pure,fond,free,calm,race,cold,warm,nice, so many things we may associate with love and can make us another four letter word numb nice questions of sentiment.

[SheenLeigh]

Yes, we have to deal with love even thou sometimes we don't understand and bear it.

We do indeed, we do indeed God bless
