Hurting those you love. Hoping it's the correct path
Life can change drastically when its actually a slow build up. Where pain is caused with hopes that it is as little as possible because you hope the end game is extreme happiness. Whether it happens in months or years to receive the happiness. Where the pain causes hate and confusion. Than the reward brings understanding and love. But how does one play the parts needed?

I break your heart in hopes that when it's mended you are stronger.

I ask you to hate me so that when true love beckons you I will be forgiven.

I strain to be alone so that you will have the chance to be one with another.

I pray to God for a clear path so you do not walk in shadows.

I stand back but near waiting to catch you if you fall the wrong direction.

I live in quiet sorrow so it seems to you that I have no soul allowing you to let go fully.

I do not cry for the pain I cause to show I am steadfast in my vision.

I do not lie next to you so that spot can be saved for the one truly deserving.

I love you this way because it is the only and best way I can.
