Love is Pain

I told you how I felt

How you make my heart swell

But your smile makes me melt

But do you feel the sparks as well

 

I told you what you mean to be

What I hope someday we will be

How I want us to be together for an eternity

But do you feel the same way about me

 

I told you how I want to be more than friends

How I want this feeling to never end

How I want you to kiss me forever, again and again

But do you want me to be your girlfriend?

 

No.

Oh…

Love is pain in its most sinful disguise!

Rejection sucks. It's something many of us are familiar with. You captured the emotion involved with it perfectly. I love the last line, it's sad that it's so true. I'm sorry you had to deal with this, but f**k him. He doesn't deserve the real you.

[Ana Drake]

I liked this, even though it was dark it still made me smile. Love is pain, but a life without love is emptiness. You shouldn't be so sad that he didn't feel the same, if you had never told him, you'd feel even worse. Be proud for having enough heart to reach for what you want. :)

You made all of us feel your pain. That is truly the best kind of poetry. I can relate to this i always have(and always will) fear rejection. I would never have the guts to ask a guy like you did so kuddos to you again!
Wonderful bit of writing here once again well done:)

girl, I definately feel ur pain! I loved this guy and when my friend told him i liked him, we would all hang out around the streets, just us three! I thought i was head over heels for him, little did i know, i know he was falling.... falling for my bestfriend! I'd cut at my arms, cut a heart in my elbow, scraped LOVE into my knuckles! I knew, i never really loved him, but i didnt wanna accept that this pain was actually going to happen, i kept it hidden and all the while, i knew i hurt myself by doing so!
Please dont do anything foolish, because it does affect those around you! Please, talk to me if u want someone to talk to :)

Cut? Oh my...I hope you don't mean cutting yourself... :O
*sighs* Sometimes, life is just horrible...In love, the person you mostly like, likes someone else...Such a cruel fate...
Don't worry, I'm here too, experiencing the same thing that you're going through!
This poem is filled with such fiery emotions...
Like it! :)))

You have amazing style, and great way to put pain into words (I think I can understand now why). Yes love is pain but we are all masochists who even once burned go after it as if nothing happens.

Rejection is sometimes never what we expect, but it only makes us stronger through time. We learn from the past and we learn how to use that to better the future of who we go after. To straighten and plan our strategies better. It's all about strategy and confidence.

This poem on the top joyful, serene, but underneath, ful of pain!

[Keeley]

Author's note is...a little unnecessary. But concept that we've all been through.

Oh my. To be rejected is really painful, but I guess if he doesn't see your worth, then he's not the right one for you. That's why cutting one's self for that person is also not worth it. In life, we can't have everything that we want no matter how much we struggle for it, but still, know that we have something or someone special waiting for us. Just let it come to you. If he broke your heart, they say the sweetest revenge is moving on. Let him know that what he did can't crush you. That you are a strong woman. Pitying yourself won't change anything. This is what I think. But I love this poem. It's obvious that it came from your wounded heart. Good job.
