At What Cost

There have been times

when I questioned

our love for each other.

Anger, words that hurt,

confusion, misunderstandings,

all a part of life.

Life, becomes an art

of living

in this stressful world,

attempting to make sense

of it all.

We often find ourselves

trying to relieve

the pain of others

at the risk of

hurting each other.

Would our life, our

time together

be enhanced,

if we withdrew

within ourselves?

I believe, we enhance

who we are, seeing

the world through

loving eyes.
