Suffering

depopulationINC

I see the pain and suffering
I see what I brought to you
Look at all the bad I’ve done
See the anguish I’ve begun

Don’t stop
Just shine through
I’ll go now
Far away from you

Never wanted any of this
Never foresaw the pain
The pain and suffering

I’ll go
Away
I’ll go
And stay
I’ll go
Away
I’ll go
To stop your pain
Pain and suffering

I didn’t mean to do this to you
I thought that I was a friend
I didn’t mean to do this to you
All I know
I can make it all end
Today
I’ll go sway
Today
I’ll go sway
Today
And I’ll stay

Guilt is a powerful emotion.

If the main character has caused that much suffering would he/she be willing to admit it?

An interesting point.

I have someone close to me. Her BF was a coke user. They dater 6 moths before she new. He is a binger, and she works out of town every second week. He only used once a month....then it all came out. After that it really got out of control. He is the nicest guy you will ever meet in your life, but he has a very serious problem. He went to rehab and what not to no avail. She knew she should leave, but they truly were in love. They dated for almost 2 years. Finally his binging got really bad, and while she was waiting with forgiving arms, he loved her too much to drag her down. He left.

Wow. That is really very sad. It really does show he loves her a lot. Maybe he could work on straightening himself out and go back to her. It seems such a waste to throw that kind of love away.

There comes a point where it does not matter what you do, it is gone. Unfortunately for them, that point has passed. I do wish him nothing but the best, but I will not stand bye if they reunite, nor will most of their friends or family. Its a long story.

I agree pacifier.

In the end, sometimes, love is not enough. I spent 14 years with my now ex and 2 kids later and had to leave. It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life. He was abusive but never to the kids, was a good guy to the kids. Jekyl and Hyde in the flesh. He is bi-polar and came from a terrible upbringing so I was extremely patient with him because I was just sure that patience and unconditional love would help him. Sometimes you have to turn your back and hope that they will change even if it breaks your heart to do it, sometimes you just have to let go. I had become a crutch for him and was being just as wrong as he was. It was the best decision I ever made but it still makes me very sad and I want so much for him to change - to be good to someone else. I know my family would not approve if I took him back and I can forgive but not forget. There is too much water under the bridge.

I think that does show love on his part to leave her. Only time will tell if the damage is too great. There are all types of love, not all types are healthy though. It is sad.

wow, thanks x200 everyone. I really just popped this one off. I am glad you liked it.

Twin1, I am sorry to hear about all that, but I am happy to hear that you know you made the correct choice.

Through my experience the word 'ennabler/enabling' had become very powerful. That is the terminology most pros use for this type of thing. Helping and enabling meet at a very thin line.

Thanks Depop! Yes, I would agree. Sometimes there are the best of intentions and one day you wake up and see things for what they are. Unfortunately now he is very bitter and angry and I am the reason for all wrongs in the world. It is kinda sad to see but I don't let my heart overrule my head anymore. Too easy to get sucked into that pattern.
