Pain Co-Op
 
  It's so guilt assuaging to say, 'this is gonna' hurt
me a
lot more than it will you, '

so hard to savor your
rebound lover while
ruing the promises you honestly meant to keep, so

hard to forget, and so
unfair. How easily that big heart of yours
breaks, and so

soon after celebrating every
sunset and
spring rain -wet nosed- with

a previous love-of-your-life.

Blame -society
-culture
-the President
trade guilt for justification
-too many hours at work,
-too quick to anger,
-too many movies to be seen and made, &
not enough
baggage to
suit your Special needs.

*'You just Can't understand. I've been to hell and back [likely as a tour guide- Ed.]. You can't Provide! '*

Co-opt the pain you've
wrought
(you earned it) , and

cling to the safety remorse provides.

We often find ourselves wanting to blame something or someone for the break up of a relationship. Surely...someone must be at fault... But I guess I take a slightly different approach...life is hard anyway...why must we torture ourselves and those we may have once loved by blaming. Life happens...things change...feelings dissolve... To thoroughly enjoy what we can of our time on earth, we need to each of us, grow beyond the setbacks, and enjoy our precious moments.: -) (wow! that sure sounds selfish! Huh?)
Hugs,
Dee

Pain is most always earned and should be worn with pride...Atlas Shrugged he didn't quit and surrender to it.
