Pain

To love someone who couldn’t love back the same way 

Only to be used and than discarded for there own selfish needs

Left out in a storm filled with darkness, no meaning why, but left 

Hunkering down as the storm unleashes its worst upon your heart and soul

Bearing to witness the pain and sorrow 
of days and weeks to months 

It feels like hell 

Letting go isn’t an option

This is so well written and expressed, i can feel this and i think many can resonate. Especially with lines such as “ to love someone who couldnt love back” unrequited love or to be left bleeding whilst still in love can be one thats hard to move on from! Felt this
