Melancholy of a Broken Tale

04-18-19

When i was younger

 I was taught that love heals.

 That it was love that covers

All the pain inflicted. 

 I take it to my heart, 

Believing every single word.

Loving with all my heart,

I was happy. 

 As the years passed, 

And time flies,

 The love i saw 

Builds a family.

 It was a beautiful love--

 Full of Giving and caring

 And gentle caress.

 It was amazing.

I take it to my heart,

 Believing what i see.

 Loving with all my heart,

 I was filled with joy. 

But as i grow up,

 Having mind to understand 

But understanding so little yet,

 I saw a strange love --

 Oh how strange it was.

 It was a love i have never seen

 Or maybe i have,

 But was not taught of,

 Or have no understanding of.

It was a love that destroys.

 It tears hearts apart,

 Breaking them into two,

 And stomping all over them.

 It was a love that hurts 

Those people who loves you.

 It was destructive and painful,

 That even bystanders get hurt just by looking.

 It takes the form of a monster 

A scary looking monster--

 A monster that stares at you,

 When you look in the mirror.

 I was old enough to see 

But i was too young to understand.

 My mind was full of questions

 And i was so confused, 

How could you?

 They've done nothing but love you,

 How could you? 

They supported you through thick and thin,

 How could you?

 They only did what you asked, 

How could you?

 How could you break their hearts,

 As if it means nothing to you?

 I never had the answers

 To the questions i sincerely asked.

 And as i grow a little older,

 Only then did i understand.

 Love can heal, 

And love can destroy.

 Take it the wrong way,

 All hearts are torn.

Your love was true,

 But you love too much. 

Your love blinds you,

 And sharpens your tongue. 

 Your love for her,

 Made you forget.

 That your love for her,

 Isn't the only thing in the world. 

Now with the words, 

You've struck our family with,

 Have been bleeding us dry.

 The pain, is still inside.

 Now with a broken heart,

 I can't even believe a word you say,

 Incapable of loving,

 You left us miserable.

 You apologised. 

And you keep apologising.

 But the cut in my heart

 Is still so fresh, so painful.

 I should not be,

 But I'm scared now.

 Scared of all kinds of love, 

Despite of how true, or sincere.

 Yes, i understand. 

But that doesn't take away anything. 

Oh, how true that phrase is,

 Too much love kills.
