Mortal Love

I read and listen on here
and everywhere.
The stories of pain and shame.
Mortal Love, and its game.
Been there, done that -
I know it all too well.
They could all be my poems, my stories,
my prose, my words.
Each and every tale was mine
at one time.
I want to reach out and help -
I want to hug them all,
rock them, soothe them, hold them.
Every pain, of every heart, I feel, I felt.
Male or female - no matter which.
I know the games, I know the bitch.
I've been betrayed, been abused and used.
I've been the fool, the last to know.
They've fed me lies and lines of hope.
I've played the jerk - the stupid dope.
I've been around - done many things,
and so I know what misery brings.
If only words would obey me now,
so I can tell, and reach, and teach
every soul that has ever hurt -
But even then; they might not understand
or even comprehend what I have to say, Ok.
Here it goes -
Mortal Love Stinks.
Keep moving, keep looking, keep searching.
When pain starts - run, run, run.
Don't look back.
Never.
All the years spent trying to make a painful
relationship better are wasted.
If it hurts - keep moving.  It's not the right one.
Most mortals are selfish, egotistical, vain,
and uncaring.
So a few are not - and you deserve to be happy.
The secret remains, all the same.
Have a secret friend in the One Above.
It sounds corny for sure,
but it's the only cure.
Ask for His guidance, don't rely on your own.
Even if you don't believe in Him,
the Universe itself - will hear your prayers.
And - when you stop hanging onto painful people,
and give up on changing them, and put yourself
in the hands of a higher power - allowing Him to
guide you - through every dark hour,
You will learn that Mortal Love is nothing compared
to HIM.
He guided me to tranquil showers,
to awesome passion that fills my hours.
He answered all my plaintif cries
He dried my tears, he quelled my sighs
There is no doubt within my mind
that My mortal love is true this time.
This is the first time in my life
that I turned to Him to change the tide.
I never felt I was good enough
to take His time, or be His burden.
My only regret was that I waited so long.
for once I asked - He came on strong.
Within just days, I met my Love
That Mortal Guy, I'd been dreaming of.
He's everything I wanted, and more than I need.
I still can't believe
No I can't believe.
I'm the envy of my mortal friends.
and I know our love will never end.
Mortal Love is not perfect
but it doesn't have to hurt.
