Hurts

 

When you hold your hurts to your heart

and nurture them with your tears

 

do you imagine they will ever go away?

 

Or will they grow like vines entwining

entangling—taking over everything

 

strangling your contentment 

suffocating your optimism?

 

Refuse to give life to that which kills you

inch by inch, word by word 

 

tear drop by tear drop...

 

Let go of your hurts

 

before they hurt you so badly

you can no longer remember

 

that you are loved

and you are here...to love.
