But I Have To

I’m tired
of wearing your love’s anger
tattooed on soul
the bruises
and pain
has taken its toll on my reasons

I’m broken
disgraced
by the image in the mirror
not sure if there is any semblance of me
left within
the reflection

I’m tired
of waiting to discover
what has torn you apart today
that makes it all right
for you to tear me apart

The hurt
the tears
the days
the years
of trying to love you
more than life
hated you
has made me tired
but I have to move on

"of trying to love you
more than life
hated you"

such a powerful line here... sometimes so many of us, have to... wonderful write mig

I was going to quote the exact same thing- you beat me to it!!

Thanks so much . . . and it is true, sometimes we try to love someone more than all that burdens them yet we can't, for whatever reason, we just can't.

Wow I agree. I can definately identify with it.
Sometimes the troubles and insecurities our partner has are so extreme we can almost feel crushed by them.
