Why Love

Why is my heart torn?
Why can't I just leave you well enough alone?
When it's just us three, I feel like a third wheel
I don't know what to do...
I try to turn away but then the thoughts haunt me.
Why would he love you?
Why would he choose you over her?
I look at my scars and ask myself, "Is it happening again?"
though my mind tells me differently, you say you love me.
thinking of lying to you to ease the pain.
telling you I don't love you anymore,
even when it isn't true.
why is it so hard to love but not have those feelings returned?
I try to tell myself that I'm being stupid.
Do I need help?
unable to decide if what you say is true.
am I just the whore you go to when you are horny,
or is your love true?
