"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 Although I am Agnostic so I usually don't see this stuff, but I saw that and felt it was absolutely true.

If pain and love come as a pair,
What is the truth that they secretly share?
Without pain, love would be dull,
No excitement to fill in the hole,
If there was no pain love could not grow,
No special experience to make their love show,
So why do we cry and wish it away?
It seems we lose the moments of love but the pain always stays,
How come we can't accept the pain but reminisce on love?
Yet we still blame pain like it's a God above,
If you feel love have left you with nothing but pain,
Love has not left you it's what's keeping you sane

Sometimes at night if I think too much about how I hurt, I write things that my mind wanders onto, this just happened to be one of them.
