Troubled Love

Are you worth my time

Do I have the energy or sanity to make this last

Time after time let down

I’ve cried over you my troubled love

My heart ached from the bad times

They came to often

Are you looking to change me my troubled love

I’m not here for you to change

I’m here to be love unconditionally

Please my troubled love

The hurt so strong

Do I stay or move on

Challenge

Dear

I love you my Dear

I’ve looked for you for a long time

And now I’ve finally found you

After all the wrong times and places

We finally meet

Like two lost souls

We’re together at last

Where our hearts belong

Today starts our beginning

Two hearts as one

We know fate is in our hands

Our hearts holds us together

I love you my Dear

Hurt

The hurt is deep but silent

It grabs you so tight

You try to resist the past temptations

That lurk like an old friend

Where the past and future are in a race

Time can’t forget the choices made

Life has it’s purpose

To bring forth it’s precious gifts

Closing the last door to the past

Opening a window to let hope in

The wind of change comes by

Leaving not only strength but wisdom

Looking in the mirror and see

A glimmer of a smile

A new day has made

As the hurt starts fading away
