The Break Up

Why does love hurt us so badly?

I gently laid down at his feet... ever trusting... as he stabbed me in the heart... again. How could someone that I loved hurt me this way?

I began to cry in pain and he acted bewildered... as if he did not understand the anguish that I was experiencing.

He stepped back and watched me bleed... not taking any responsibility for the damage that he had inflicted. Denying that he was the source.

He let me die and then walked away... left me all alone... not realizing that I had finally gain my freedom and he his Hell.

Peace surely was mine... as turmoil would be his. Love long gone.
