Hurting Poem

I dedicate this to all the girls who have been hurt by guys they thought loved them. Don't let them stop you.

Sounds just like me during the roughest times I've had yet. I will make it, though. I'm a survivor, even if it's with the zero dollars and what little I have in belongings.

Faithful, Unsure Love

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008 with permission of the Author.

Through all the storms and struggles-
All the fights and tussles,
All the disrespect, and abuse,
My love was always true.

When you made me cry, made me feel unloved,
I was always there by your side.
No matter what you did or what you said,
I was proud to be your girl.

My love for you is greater than anything in this world.
You know that no one can love you like I do.
Everything we have been through,
I was faithful to you and only you.

I was your girl, your boo;
But all you ever did was treat me like garbage.
You said, "Baby, you know I love you."
But true love doesn't break my heart.

I tried and tried to look past it,
But the more I tried, the more I saw the real you.
All the lies, all the deceit,
You must have thought you were slick.

To love you more than anything
Would be ignorant on my part.
I can't image my life without you,
But I can't image my life with you.

I deserve more than what you give me,
Better than what I have now.
Growing up is something that you need to do.
My love for you is always there....
But my heart is moving on to better things.

I was always this lonely girl who got bullied all the time. I never ever felt loved, so when my ex came and gave me that love I fell head over heels. We started spending more time together and then when things got rough he started getting really abusive. He'll called me names, verbally abuse me, insult me etc. Things then got so bad and he started treating me even more horribly. But there was nothing I could do, I was still head over heels over him. This continued for more than a year, and then I met someone else, my long lost friend. We realized that back then we always loved each other and I was finally able to move on from my ex. It was the best feeling ever. I did everything I could for him, I was the most loyal person but he went and treated me like garbage. But now that I reconnected with someone else, all the pain, all the hurt is healed, and I can look back at my ex and said "I don't love you anymore. You mean nothing to me."

I feel so much better knowing that someone knows how I feel. I was with someone, and we really had something. He believed my best friend and read my notes and threw away my love for him like it was nothing, and the sad thing is I still like him.

It's such a relief knowing that I am not the only person dealing with rape, misery and breakups. I just want to thank the Great Savior I've got a wonderful husband even after all the bad relationships and painful memories I have. I was given the gift of a wonderful husband; patient with me and my issues even after 22 years. Just hang in there kiddo, Mr. Right is out there just waiting for you!

I love this poem this explains exactly what I am feeling right now. I thought I found my soul mate I love him so much and always stood by his side but as time went on I realized he was not standing by my side. He was actually flirting/ cheating on me with multiple other women. It hurts so bad because basically the whole relationship was a lie, everything I thought I knew about him is a lie. How could I become so vulnerable and give up so much for a liar like him? I am a strong woman and I know I will eventually get over him and find someone new but it just really makes you hate men in general it seems like all of them are snakes!

Thank you for writing a poem like this. It touched me in a way that was unimaginable. It touched me because I was raped when I was 15 and I have been abused by my dad since I was little. I have been hurt by so many guys. I try every day to go on with my life and to try to forget my past but it is so hard. I just want to thank you for writing a poem like this one.
