Love Hurts

I never knew what they meant by: "love hurts" until it happened to me Two months isn't that long but it felt like an eternity Wasted Gone Thrown away by your selfish acts I knew it couldn't be saved, when we didn't spend as much time together, When I was only happiest when I kissed you goodbye, When you refused to hold me when I was down- To pick up my broken pieces Scattered on the ground- When all you did was look at me when my anxiety took over When my depression took over- When I took over I knew that you didn't care anymore Care enough anymore- I mean I always told you that I needed to be loved, That I needed to be understood, That I needed you, But when I gave you the hammer to tear down my walls, You just watched and waited, You just watched and waited and thought. When I took my walls down piece by piece Brick by brick, You told me to keep going, You didn't help. You didn't lift a finger, Even though there were so many layers of protection, So many tiring layers When I slowed down you yelled, When I sped up, You didn't care. You never cared. So now this is me Not caring Because now I understand why love hurts, Now I understand because of you
