The words were hammered blows to my heart.
A stranger would dare not speak such words to me
crushing fists would they find quickly pounding their bodies.
 
The slap of the glove upon their face,
to face certain death on the field of honor.
The answer to your acts are simple enough,
you are an abuser of woman.
 
Your love of God and Jesus but a front
a lie to all.
Deep within your heart lies hate still pouring
on one who has loved you beyond all others.
 
A faithful friend
you no longer are to me.
I have seen your soul.
 
It is dark, black and ridden with the shit of the world
upon your lips.
Oh where, oh where did my love go.
You are without honor, heroism or truth in your declared love.

There is a game we play with couples.
It is called the “Hurting Game.”
It is a game that can weaken Love
or destroy Love between two people.
 
In early romances
we seek beautiful
and positive statements
to relate to each other.
 
It is later that the
“Hurting Game” begins.
It starts out with a small
biting criticism.
The heart is hurt by
the receiver.
 
Uncared words between two Lovers
can be knife cuts to the very heart.
Generally in these hurts does it become
pay back time with a similar cutting remark
when the occasion arises. 
 
Many times the Game
increases in intensity.
It is then done before
friends and relatives.
 
Such acts make the hurts
even deeper in their pain.
It is not time to break this circle?
 
Promise each other this day
that the hurtful words in the future
will only be replaced with words
of Love, Kindness and Praise.
 
In so doing
will you both find in each other again
the love you both so richly deserve.
