Tough Love Poem by Tiger Lily Love
Tough Love
I've never believed in tough love
I've always said it's something I couldn't do
But I've realize that I must do it
If I truly want to help you
I know this means not a single word I can utter
Nor even a hello
All I can do is be silent
Even though I miss you so
I ask myself everyday
How anyone could choose darkness
Over our light
But worst than that is the reality that your out there
In this ticking time bomb of a world
Trust me
You don't want to be the one holding the grenade
At the end of this fight
I want you to come back
I want you to experience the real life
I don't want you to find out the hard way
That darkness eventually offers nothing but pain
Pain so sharp it feels like you've been pierced by a knife
But I can't make you realize that
I can't save your life
Only HE can do that
Only YOU can do whats right
Maybe someday, some how
You'll get that shove you need
But until then
No matter how hard it maybe
Tough love is all I can give you
And all you will receive
- Madame Mickey
Yes! Light is better than darkness. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A very strong poem and I found it easy to relate to. Tough love is both hard to dish out and hard to receive, though often in the best interest of those we really love. Great job!
But I can't make you realize that I can't save your life Only HE can do that Only YOU can do whats right That's my favorite line. Sometimes we just have to step back, and hope for the best. I guess some would consider that tough love.
The emotionally arranged verses are the most peculiar part of your poem As you mention...tough love may sometimes be best love...Well done!

Ah, I know the feeling this poem gives out. It's tough when someone we love has been blinded. But I really like the line: I ask myself everyday, How anyone could choose darkness Over our light and this poem makes me realize that you have changed for the good, or at least you know what's right. I like this poem. Good job
