Why Did You Have To Hurt Me

I often wonder why you hurt me
& wonder what I'd done to you.
For I didnt deserve this heartache 
That in loving you did pursue.

I thought you loved me unconditionally 
I thought we both felt the same.
But I soon found out this not the case
And I was always found at blame.

Arguments were caused in bitterness
With angry words spoken to & fro.
With each hurled word of anger
Our hatred for each other began to grow.

And then you started lusting
after others in your prey.
Forgetting the vows been made to me
And it was me being made to pay!

For I kept on trying my best for you
I tried so hard to gain respect.
But still you chose to ignore my pleading case 
And my love was your forming for neglect.

So now I'm givjng up on you
No longer am I being a martyr to your cruelty.
Alone I'll walk with my head held high
As I try to regain composure & lost dignity.

But still I wish you well In life
And hope one day we can be on terms of talking.
As friends we may be destined better off
So now from love I do the walking

Thanks for sharing this Anna. I think most have gone through this and man its the hardest thing you can go through. Pain in your heart is so intense. When I went through it I felt like a zombie for weeks. I couldnt eat or sleep. It was intense.
