Don't Quit : a Poem About Life & Love
Don't quit!
Quit thinking about him...
Him, who destroyed your hope,
Hope for a life worth living
Living a minute at a time.
Time for you to get moving!
Moving beyond the pain,
Pain breaking your pallid heart
Heart, stop beating!
Beating me with his words and hands.
Hands I thought would show gentle care.
Care not for love.
Love yourself because God does.
Does life seem worth it?
It don't.
Quit thinking about him...
Him, who destroyed your hope,
Hope for a life worth living
Living a minute at a time.
Time for you to get moving!
Moving beyond the pain,
Pain breaking your pallid heart
Heart, stop beating!
Beating me with his words and hands.
Hands I thought would show gentle care.
Care not for love.
Love yourself because God does.
Does life seem worth it?
It don't.
