What\u2019s the proper thing to say<\/p>\n

when a friend or relative hurts you?<\/p>\n

Speaking verbally, it\u2019s not okay.<\/p>\n

The pain still hurts through & through.<\/p>\n

It hurts because you love them so.<\/p>\n

You really don\u2019t want to let them go.<\/p>\n

Saying something hurtful to get back<\/p>\n

is a defense mechanism. It\u2019s a fact.<\/p>\n

To remedy the situation takes strength.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what you think.<\/p>\n

Swallow your pride for a start.<\/p>\n

It is better than being apart.<\/p>\n

Apologize, though your heart says no.<\/p>\n

There is nowhere else you can go.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t feel you are to blame.<\/p>\n

Yet, it is driving you insane.<\/p>\n

Words hurt when aimed at you<\/p>\n

from a loved one that you knew.<\/p>\n

Erase the past and start anew.<\/p>\n

It is best for both of you.<\/p>\n

Turn it all over to God.<\/p>\n

Let Him be the judge. It\u2019s not odd.<\/p>\n

He is MUCH wiser than us.<\/p>\n

He will leave little to discuss.<\/p>\n

He functions on love, so get on board.<\/p>\n

Then all will vanish, except for the Lord.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)<\/p>\n
