PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dear Pain,



Even though you're long gone

and no longer by my side,

you've taught me more than you can imagine,

and from this moment forward I shall apply.



Despite all the rough times we've been through,

I took valuable lessons with me when I walked away from you.



For one:

I can't always get what I want;

Objects of desire are mainly meant to taunt.



Secondly:

Patience is key;

For if something is worth waiting for, one will wait for it unconditionally.



Three:

Love can be expressed through more than just words;

And things left unsaid or undone brought you back to me and hurt me worse.



Four:

Some things weren't meant to cling to;

so...

JUST...

LET...

GO...



Fifth through fifty-sixth:

Too many to list.

But all these lessons have one commonality -

To NEVER forget my priority.

(Fate shows its face when things work themselves out naturally).



Love,

Strength
