I Hope You Hurt

I hope you hurt
 feel the pain I do
 ache and weep at this emptiness
 of your leaving me alone.

Music whirls in my suffering
 wallowing in the loneliness
 of your distanced steps
 that walk uncaring without a look back.

Really? After all these years
 could it be that easy
 to slip in and out our love lost
 as if we're strangers forever never met.

I hope you hurt
 cry tearful and longingly
 for the moments lost between us
 never to find love rising again.

Hi DM, Yup, that's how things happen to us. Those we love most, also hurt us the most. Let that person go with love. Love will come hunting for you. The world so filled with millions of people. When a door shuts, a new one opens. Best, Panagiota Romios
