LOVE THAT HURTS

When someone who is supposed to love you hurts you.

 

 

When someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally fails to do so....it can cause so much pain. For me, the only way to cope is to remember the Savior's words and forgive. I’m tired of love that hurts me every time I turn around. I’m tired of lifting wings to fly and ending on the ground. I’m tired of your rude remarks, when kindness could have shown. I’m tired of this facade as I dodge another stone. I want at times to walk away and leave you in the dust and yet I know this cannot be for in my God I trust. He’s stood beside me in the night with comfort when I weep; He only asks me to forgive so I’ll turn the other cheek. So when you hurt and bruise me, remember this, my friend, there is another watching you who will my soul defend. © Forrest Phelps-Cook
