The Simple Complexity

Some words are meant to hurt,

Others to make you fall in love

Yours did both,

Our love was so real,

So beautiful,

So priceless,

But I found myself to be mistaken,

You promised me happiness,

And for some time you did,

But then the day came,

In which our love was no more,

You gave me no explanation,

No reason at all,

You left without warning,

Had I done something wrong?

Out of my anger I say,

Had I known my fate,

I would never have loved you,

But I think back and realize,

this is the simple complexity,

No matter how much pain I am currently in,

I don’t regret any beautiful moment we shared,

It was so simple to love you,

Yet so complicated to understand our ending,

Although you have hurt me,

I can only wish you the best,

Because learning to love is learning to let go

<p>I'm glad you liked it. Even though it is simple, it's relateable. Someone who has been truly in love with someone else and has had an unfortunate break up, can relate to what I'm trying to say. No matter the pain, you will always have a special place in your heart for that person. </p>

<p>I love the simplicity of your poem, as well as the honesty. You are right in saying that when you have truly loved someone, you don't regret being with them, even if they later hurt you very badly. I appreciate you sharing this poem!</p>
