They Say
They say,
"It’s better to have loved and lost,
then to never have loved at all."
I guess that all depends
on how the loss occurred.
Was it something that
eventually faded away
or did it end up turning,
evolving
into some form of hate?
They say,
"There’s a fine line
between love and hate."
There once was a time
when you used to love me,
way back when,
and now
you probably hate me
because we’re no longer friends.
But that’s fine,
because I kind of despise you too,
for all the pain
you put me though.
They say,
"True love will never die
and will always stand the test of time."
I guess the love that I knew,
never really was true,
because if it was,
then it would still be alive.
There would still be a “we”
instead of just you
without me.
They say,
"Time heals all wounds,"
which is a complete lie.
A total bunch of crock
said in love’s demise.
Although, it might sting a little less
eventually given some time.
But it will never completely mend
and a part
will always remain
the same.
It’s just something
that they tell you,
to keep you pacified.
They say,
"Ignorance is bliss,"
living without a clue.
I wish I could
live in bliss.
How appealing that would be,
to have no more painful thoughts
and all hurtful memories freed.
To have all of my worries
be completely remiss.
Please let me just dwell
a little bit more on this...
