Why Does It Hurt So Much?

Why does the pain of the heart hurt the most

Why does it hurt the most when you lose the one closest to you

Why does it hurt the most to see them with someone else

It hurts the most because they are a part of your heart

And they have been ripped from it

It hurts the most because of how you feel about them

It hurts the most because of your love for them

It hurts the most because they are the one that you want to be with

It hurts the most because you think without them

There is no hope

You sit in depression because without them you are lost

You sit alone because they have left you that way

You sit alone because you know you can be with no one else

But then as you ask yourself

"Why does it hurt so much?"

She walks up

No not the one you lost

But the one you always had

Your best friend

She holds you tight and tells you it is ok

And it is ok

Because she is here today and forever 

The true person you can't live without

Your closest friend, your best friend

The sister that you never had
