Is believing that someone loves you
The way you put her or him in that pedestal
Then find out your worth is less than a penny
Driving for 8 hours to apologize
Even if it is not your fault in the first place
Then just hear “You wasted gas to come here”
Bringing flowers to fix a broken bridge
With hope and affection on a golden plate
Then shunned because she was not in the mood
Being awake to wait for him to come home
Inspite of exhaustion, food was ready
Then told he is staying in a party
Always forgiving and understanding shortcomings
Convincing the heart that this is how love is, should be
Then punishing you for what is right and what is due
Giving him the idea to finish the project
Sleepless nights drawing and painting
Then tell you he gives up because it is hard
Buying the most expensive gifts
Because it is her special day, fireworks lit up
Then she presents you with doubts and a guilt trip
Holding him tight as he sweats
Because he sees snakes on the floor
Then he inhales again that deadly poison
Carrying a heavy sack of effort
Because she took your heart
Then drills a hole in your soul
Fighting for him, choosing him always
Ignoring what loved ones say
Then leaves you dying in a ditch
What hurts the most in the past is gone
It healed but scars remind of battles
You learned and became wiser
Love teaches in the strangest of ways
What hurts the most now
Is knowing that a friend hurts
Going through a familiar scene
My heart shares the burden
What hurts the most in the past is finished
No more room for regrets and false hopes
You give yourself another chance at love
Then you find happiness with a worthy person
What hurts the most now
Is hearing a friend’s woes
Wishing I could say the right words
To alleviate a little of his confusion
What hurts the most, my friend
Is deciding when to hold on or to let go
Because you love the person deeply
Ironic because
…both decisions bring pain nonetheless
*for JP, a true friend whom Love should be Always be Kind to*
