THE PAIN OF LOVING

You think I am stupid because I fell in love with you.
But one day you will realize that your going to miss me.
Because you will never find someone as stupid as me.
who will fall in love with you like me.

You treat me like trash because I fell in love with you.
You use and dump me like an empty tin of milk.
You treat me with less respect because you think am desperate for your love.
But your very right.
Because am actually desperate for your love.

I try everyday to forget about you.
But it seems impossible to get you off my mind.
The thought of losing you makes my heart beat like a thief caught in the very act.

Even though you cheat on me everyday.
I never have the thought of leaving you or moving on.
My heart speaks in puzzles and codes
I have been trying my whole life to solve.
Now I know love is a game for fools to play
And I ain't fooling anymore.

I know it's never easy to walk away.
But I know it's over and I guess I have to let you go.
I will be alright.

So I still look back at all the messages you'd sent.
And I know it wasn't right, but it was fucking with my head.
And everything deleted like the past, yeah, it was gone.
And when I touched your face, I could tell you're moving on.
But it's not the fact that you kissed someone yesterday.
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake.
And everything I know tells me that I should walk away
But I just wanna stay.

I know nothing heals the past like time.
And they can't steal
The love am born to find.
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time.
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight.
I know I will find another and I will be just fine.
I will be alright

it is very nice to meet you and welcome to the fold! we are all here learning from each other and polishing our wordsmithing craft. if you need any help, just ask... if I cannot help you, we will find someone who can. your poem tells the old story of having an abusive lover who enjoys belittling other people. for some really bad reason, they cannot feel good about themselves unless they make someone else feel bad! I liked these Lines:

Excellent lines!!!
