    Poem Commentary

    Paying tribute to the innocence of hurting people you loved ....

    Ignorant of How to Love You
    I haven't forgotten that i hurt you ,
    I'm aware of how I hurt you.
    What i can't fathom is how to
    heal your wounds.

    it's been part of my inner struggle,
    running from state to state,
    relationship to relationship,
    never able to completly
    seal the deal.


    So many years , words, feelings
    damaged . I do know if
    you don't share with
    me what your going through
    i can't help you.

    Sometimes i wish i could read
    your mind . Or speed through
    the past to erase the emotional
    crimes.


    I respect the fact
    that even though , your
    in pain , you make
    room for me.

    Unfortunately , we had more than
    just time going against us.
    generational curses, wounded
    people steering our relationship
    set us up for failure.

    Seeing the growth and maturity
    allows us to mend some of the hurt
    knowing that we'll have
    the heart to love someone
    the  way we wanted to be loved.

    If it helps , i see the beauty in your
    eyes , spirit ,and heart.
    Just one last thing , don't hold
    back on love .
    It's one of those emotions
    that's meant to be shown and shared.


    I apologize for my ignorance of love,
    and for feeling too isolated to
    tell you so .
    Never too late , right ..
    I LOVE YOU...

    You did your thing on this one. It made my eyes well up with the regret shown as well as the underlying asking for forgiveness. The emotion in this one is raw and honest. I admire your bravery, courage, and tenacity. You are a phenomenal writer and you deserve forgiveness and all the love your hand and heart can hold. Love you............E

    Your words leap from the page , and jumped into my heart ... just what I needed today ... I can take all the credit ... the genes are just the right fit

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
