it hurts

Monday, January 9, 2017

it hurts too much
to care that is
to love those you love
to love those you treasure
when you care
you experience sorrow
through death
disappointment
hurt
regret
you hold onto hope
that death will not snatch
the person you love away
then when death comes
you fight
you fight hard
it's a losing battle
but a soldier fights anyways
it's what you do
its what you're called to do
and
it hurts to hate
you carry the pain of memories
of past words and jabs
when death comes
for that person you hate
regret fills you like an empty pool
so why hate
or love
they both hurt
they both cause pain
choose one my friend
pain of love
pain of hate
either way you go
you'll see
it hurts to care

    *comes back later* OKAY, JU - it's 110% official. YOUR TALENT FOR POETRY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND I LOVE IT. So much. All of this. It was so beautiful and incredible and I'm sorry if this comment is a little incoherent, because I may or may not still be slightly speechless? xD THANK YOU FOR THIS.

  6. Julia <3. My heart hurt for you while I read this -it sounded very raw, and then your disclaimer at the end seemed to say you felt it too.
    But I also wanted to tell you that those lines
    "it's a losing battle
    but a soldier fights anyways"
    ...That just grabbed me, girl. Love that!

  7. Yessss. *tries to figure out what to do now* this though. Pain from death is so hard. It has its own category because the grief is so different from anything. One moment you're fine, the next you're not. You may have been close, you may have not, but either way, it still affects you.
