Sometimes in Love...

Love gone wrong

By: Dianna Hoiland

Sometimes love goes wrong

Not the right time

The right person

Or right place

Sometimes we wish to stay

But we cannot

Just meant to keep searching

Keep hoping

Sometimes love was only here for a lesson

To teach you the things you did not know

Trials to build your character

Remind you of your worth

Sometimes love is meant as a guide

To ferry us past a stagnant point within our lives

Show us the light at the end of the tunnel

Show us the path

Sometimes love leaves us looking like a fool

Lost in the pursuit

Shattered by the disappointments

But still, we stay

Sometimes love tricks us

Tells us its meant to be

When it was only meant for a second

Never eternity

Sometimes love pulls us apart

Torn between what is smart

And what we want

Clouds our judgement in the worst of times

Sometimes love hurts us

Even when it doesn't mean to

Leaves us cold

A broken heart

Sometimes love leaves tears in our eyes

From the good to the bad

The beautiful and the ugly

The power of love ever changing

Sometimes in love we just have to let it be

We cannot force it

Or chase it extensively

We must let it be

Sometimes in love things are not as they seem

Fear clouds our emotions

Makes our goals a little foggy

Till we lose ourselves in the idea we created

Sometimes in love we must admit we are wrong

Face our mistakes

Make amends

And deal with its consequences

Sometimes in love we hurt those who care

Leave them lonely and lost

Like we never cared

Disregard the connection we shared

Sometimes in love our differences rip us apart

Pull us in opposite directions

and shred our hearts

Here for a moment, but gone in an instant

Sometimes in love we wish it wasn't so

Try to hard to never let go

Hold on even when they are long gone

For a hope that one day everything would change

Sometimes in love we forget about ourselves

Let love gone wrong destroy our confidence

Convince ourselves we aren't worth it

Even when we deserve it

Sometimes in love we must remember our strength

All the nights we fought alone

And roots we sowed

All on our own

Sometimes in love it takes many forms

Our mothers warmth

Our friends who hype us up till the end

Our children who love us when we are less then perfect

Sometimes in love we forget this is what makes us human

Our emotions and vulnerabilities

Our downfalls and triumphs

And sometimes in love we forget to first love ourselves
