There is a great hole in my heart where you fell through.

            I can see you still falling deeper and deeper, wondering where

Tough Love
Tough Love

Sometimes with such strict parents, a tendancy to lend;
overlooking boundaries crossed to be your child's best friend.
I love my son with all my heart just as he does his mother.
Tho the path that he was taking; I just could not go further.
Stunned and hurt...

Tough Love
I'll box your two ears into one
Screamed a disheveled, distraught mum
I do not think that can be done
Quipped a grinning, impish son. 

And if you do it mommy dear
And I then only have one ear. 
I'll have to turn each time you talk
Or you will...

Tough Love...
Are the Angel's feathers double dipped,
quills of gold but bloody tipped...
is wrath upon the many unknowing,
going,showing unhealthy stowing...
ungracious of the promised precious,
only looking for their next delicious...

Tough love,may be a reminder
fellows once,can be,fellows again
if only to feel,and then remember,
a part of the whole begins within'......

Tough Love
Rain passes through quenching the thirst of the parched dry lands.
Lightning flashes and thunder crashes as God clinches his hands.
For he has grown wreary of his creations' greed.
Turning his back on the population. Ignoring the cries during their time of need.
He can't stand to watch...

Tough Love
Hugs and kisses
The title of his misses
A bond that we strengthen together
Being able to make it through whatever
Then comes that day 
When you love no more
Tears running down your cheeks
I think I just missed a heartbeat
Heartache 
Heartbreak
This tough love 
I can't take anymore....

Premium Member Competing In Tough Love Markets
We often think of how best to compete in a very tough love market.
How to look
and smell
and sound our healthiest and highest commodified use
to attract the interest of others
with both similar and diverse sight
and hearing
and fragrance
of trusting radically profound beauty;

A hot package
but also with a...

Tough Love
You had the chance to change the choice that you chose.
But no, I had to catch you red handed
Now my heart comes unclosed
Now you try coming back to me
But no, I turn away 
Just like you left me out like a stray.
Don’t even bother saying...

Tough Love - No Regrets
I tried to give you all my love
But that for you was not enough

I wanted you to love me to
But I just never ever knew
Did you or didn’t you

I tried to give you all my love
I know now that was far too tough

Although it took...

Tough Love
Throughout life there will be many lessons
Others have come through so will you too
Until that moment we won't learn how too
Giving up it might seem the easier option
How will we learn if we don't even try it

Learning it's one of the key of living our...

Premium Member Tough Love
clutching at straws
     struggling without cause

falling further behind
     your actions you malign

slipping into despair
     considering your life unfair

borne of self-destruction
     feeding your own seduction

whirling into frustration

Tough Love
The struggle lies an ever on
Holding on to something never to
To find a place never to belong
To have love but never knew

As tough as love can ever be
Life but lives by just as close
Billions of simply you and me
To live and learn to never be...

Push and Shove Leads To Tough Love
There's so much to
figure out
I can't talk or even
shout
The way you've
changed is so
surprising
It's causing a huge
uprising
I tried to teach you
right from wrong
And how to be really
strong
Never letting the
peer pressure
Make you feel any
lesser
But this person
you've become
Can not be changed
or undone
Lying, cheating,
alcohol
Drugs,
robbing--you've done
it all
Far from the way...

Tough Love
Our bodies collided in the moonlight 
Lying under him memories held my mind hostage. 
As I looked up and saw his face
He was watching over me.
The feeling of his touch 
Leaves me cold and motionless. 
As he took back control again. 
Telling myself it’s just...
