Painful Love

I gave you all, my heart laid bare,  

Every hope, each whispered prayer.  

In your hands, I placed my soul,  

Believing you would make me whole.  

  

But you shattered trust, broke it apart,  

Carved deep wounds into my heart.  

Each promise you made was just a lie,  

And I was left to wonder why.  

  

I stood by you through every storm,  

Wrapped you in love, kept you warm.  

But you, so cold, with careless touch,  

Taught me that love can hurt too much.  

  

Now, I let the pain run deep,  

Feel it burn, and watch it seep.  

Until it fades, no longer sore—  

Until it hurts...  

no more.
