Why does love hurt

Why does love hurt

Why does love need to hurt

so bad when you break up

with another then you say

goodbye? All of the pain that

you feel from a broken heart

hurts more than anything that

you will ever know and even though

no bones are really broken

that pain is just as real, I mean

why do people even fall in love

anymore these days since it

seems like it always ends up

in pain anyways as all of the dark

clouds of depression start to

move in then all of the tears begin

to fall down your face so fast and

hard that you think that you just

might drown out In the rain.

I guess the hardest part for me was

actually finding out that fairy tales

and happily ever after was nothing

more than just another Disney

movie ending that is never really real.

After being lied too, cheated on,

and used for so damn long how

do you think that makes you feel?

Angry? Yes, sad? Even more but

really you just do not want to look

at anyone anymore, since now you

feel like nothing more than a damn fool.

I am not so sure that I myself will ever

look for love again, because I just

could not take another heartbreak

or even that pain again, maybe being

all alone is what God wants for me

to be for it seems that my entire life

really has been nothing but heartbreaks

and heartaches with lots of pain

over and over again.
