Lost in me

PAIN IN LOVE

I didn't believe love could hurt.

I didn't believe there was pain in love, till I saw the beautiful woman go back to him after he beat her up.

I didn't believe love was painful, till the little girl grew gray hairs still waiting and watching by the window, for a father who would never come back.

I didn't believe love was cruel, till she slit her wrists after he said it was over.

I didn't believe love was insane, till they both jumped because he had cancer and she couldn't live without him.

I didn't know love could steal till she swallowed those pills after he died...and it stole her life.

I didn't believe love was torture until I watched my best friend get eaten up by cancer. Until he looked at me with pain radiating from his beautiful eyes. Until he rasped out in a whisper...'i love you Jo'.

Then, I believed.

But then, I watched him die. And the pain hit me full force.
