Foolish Love

It seems foolish
That loving someone
Could cause
So much pain.
Strange
That love
Could cause
So many tears
So little sleep
Agony
Pain
Heartache
Longing
A need
To be loved
In return.
But it's foolish.
It's idiotic.
Love shouldn't
Overcome me like this.
It's stupid.
It's unreasonable.
Yet how do I stop it?
How do I simply stop—
Stop loving
Stop caring
Stop crying
Stop screaming
Stop hurting
—How?
I can't
And I won't
And I wouldn't
If I could.
I don't ever
Ever
Want to stop—
Stop loving
Stop caring
—And if that
Means crying;
Means screaming;
Means hurting;
I don't want to stop
Stop any of it.
Even if it is
Foolish.
