How I must love you

by Sarah
(America)

To be betrayed by those
you love most,
oh how it hurts the heart
so very close.
A bee's stinger,
oh how the pain just seems..
Just seems to linger!
Far past the hurtful day!
Confusion,
all it does is blind the way,
oh how this pain clouds my day.
Why did I trust?
Why did I love so deep?
Is this all I reap,
from loving a family member,
oh so deep?
The hole in my back hurts,
but the hole in my heart hurts far worse.
By trusting,
I have been made into a fool.
By loving,
I have my own blood
turned into a pool!
Who to trust?
who to love?
Should I trust?
Should I love?

Isn't love what holds you up,
holds you up so you may never fall?
Love is a gift from God above,
but this gift hurts so bad.
I have tried to love all,
but I just fall and fall.
Maybe love,
but keep at a distance?
That just may do!
But will I again be a fool?

Gods love,
is perfect love.
And don't we hurt Him daily?
Love,
ha love can hurt.
I am finding,
and you cant do
any rewinding.
No matter how foolish this may be,
I feel like pure love
will set me free!
To love is not a foolish thing,
or a selfish thing.
I choose perfect love,
to love them past their mistakes,
to love past this pain,
to love through and through,
that is how I must love you.
