When Love Sucks


It's not me but the idea of having someone It's hard to understand for you reader but she broke my heart Its not me she loved but the idea of having someone While I poured my whole heart out she laughed Pity it was they threw at me with her "girlfriends" It's not me she loved. Everything was my fault and neglect of onus. Blind to exploitation I apologized . Until it was insufferable I didn't notice. What happened! I loved her but it's not me its the idea of someone. Stay woke they said In love, I shut them out. Drained and alone she left me Plastically she smiles Oh what a mockery I wish it's me she loved Get up and move on I tell myself The harder it gets Love is not life Love is not fair She doesn't love you it's the idea of someone like you.
