Why does love hurt?

I don’t smoke cigarettes
But you’re making me wanna smoke on the Camel cigarettes
to burn you with the fire
Since you take your knife and push it into my already black and blue heart
when my neck should be black and blue
Why do you like to hurt
with your ignorance?

I couldn’t keep our love on the down-low anymore

I told people how you hurt me
Then I hurt you
Then you keep hurting me
Terrible.. just terrible

They ask why do I keep going back to you?
I have no idea why
No clue whatsoever
There is something wrong mentally in my mind

I'm trying to be ok being alone here
I dunno whats going on
I just wanna be with you
But you clearly don’t give a french
So why should I?

Why do I care so much about you,
if you hurt me more than you love me?
Why cannot let go?
Every minute a thought of you appears in my head
Get off my mind
Seeing pictures of you makes me stare into your selfish soul

Why do I even bother with life anymore?
I bought a case for my cellphone
so it would protect against my tears
Since it pours on my empty bed
just waiting for you to come over
To just text me back once or call

I wanna bang my head up against the wall
it would help lose calories

My pain increases
in my stomach

When I think of leaving you
or you leaving me again

Because your handsome green eyes
Tells me everything is fine
When I know in reality its not
But touching my hands through your brown hair makes my heart flutter

My heart beats so fast with pain
you will be the cause of my heart attack
I am in love with you
and have no idea why

The days grow longer
as we get elder
I keep going back to you
like I need you
Why do I keep loving you when you hurt me like this?

I can see that you poured your emotions into this poem. The guy who you're talking about in this poem might have you in his trance, but I know you can cure it. You are strong and can get into your own love life again. I wish you luck and love!

This is a very dark, emotional piece you have here. Vulnerability when frowned up anywhere else, is more than accepting and appraised in poetry. Well written.
Thank you for sharing

This is tale is one that I see many people going through. At times when they have asked me my opinion, I tell them this. "It will happen that two people will find themselves in a relationship. In the beginning it's full of fire and makes the heart flutter with desire. Then things begin to change. The why or what of the events are not important. What is important is that the two people start finding differences and or things that cause pain. This pain and confusion causes two people to grow apart, yet the physical fire remains burning in the back of the mind. What makes this hard is that the fire is not love, it's only fire and it continues to burn away the emotions and soul of at least one or both individuals. In the end, one or more of them usually realizes that what they are feeling is the a need of the security of what they had, while still being plagued by the issues never resolved."

Your ink speaks from experience and that is enjoyable for me as a reader. It allows to catch a glimpse at situations that the reader may or may not have experienced themselves. This makes the piece into something both, insightful and connectable.

You have a great way of showing us the real world. Thanks for sharing!

... Everyone has heartbreak and pain.. We just have to get through this hell.

Love is so powerful.. it reaches deep inside us.. flows like a river.. like nothing else. Your confessions are those so many ask.. of life and love.. and the hurting that comes when we wonder.. An overwhelming sadness came over me reading this...

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Love your use of words, reads so well, rationale for love which is irrational by its nature captured so well:)
