Grief

You cause her so much grief
Her heart says you should stay
Her brain says you should leave
She knows you're bad for her
But without you she feels hollow
She feels as though she has no heart
When she's with you
You make her want to scream
You make her feel as if 
she's tearing away at the seams
She goes mad with jealousy
When she sees you kissing girls in magazines
You say its nothing
She knows its not true
But she can't help herself
She's still deeply in love with you
People tell her you're bad news
And she defends you until her face is blue
Deep down she knows the people are right
But she is in denial
She can't help it
She's deeply in love with you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
