Fake

They say love is the best thing
That it's the greatest thing in life
If so
Then why does it hurt so much?
Why does it make one want to hurt another?
Why does it make one want to hurt themselves?
If love is so great 
Why does it have all these consequences?
Why does it leave us more empty then we were before?
If love is such a miraculous thing
Why does it feel fake and never lasting
