A Hurting Love
A HURTING LOVE
You say you love me,
But yet you hurt me;
You come before me;
You say you adore me;
So why must I leave;
Because of all this brutality;
Come allow me;
You say you want me;
But yet you don't need me;
You come before me;
You say you forgive me;
So why must I turn away;
Because you say the same thing everyday;
So why must I leave;
Because of all this scrutiny;
I can hardly breathe;
Do you really, really, love me;
So I surmise;
I'll close my eyes;
No! longer are you darling;
