Much is said about how love can hurt

But the truth is only people hurt us

By hurting our ego but not our being,

By leaving a longing and ache in our hearts,

That comes from attaching ourselves to them.

Often times the pain we suffer is in the mind,

Rarely does inflict mortal bodily harm,

Therefore the choice to suffer is ours alone,

Though this is hard to hear and accept and own.

Rather than be hurt we must find the positives,

In that which we can learn lessons,

Learn to grow from rather than shrivel

And give praise to the wonderful experience,

When love was in full bloom

And when the darkness started creeping in.

Never believe love can destroy you

Never believe that someone else can destroy you.

Only you can destroy you through ego

And a lack of self love, self worth and self belief.
