Love Hurts

Love Hurts

Love hurts.
It just hurts.
A dull, throbbing, aching pain
Somewhere in my chest,
Behind the ribs.
It’s something I can’t get rid of,
No matter how hard I try.
And with every day that goes by
It gets worse.
Every heartbeat seems to tear me up a little more inside.
Every beat says to me –
“Love, love, love”, and
“Pain, pain, pain”.
I can’t go on like this,
Honestly I can’t.
It’s almost too much to bear.
