Love Hurts

By Varun Arora

Love hurts , Love kills,

Love steals away life's thrills...

Takes our expectations high and pushes us down steep hills ,

Promises to heal but numbs our heart and makes it stop all together anything to feel ...

Love in any form hurts,

At times it becomes a lifetime curse ....

Once what seemed the most valuable treasure,

Now it feels like the biggest regret and the biggest disaster....

People whom we thought we couldn't live without,

Were the ones who made us so broken that even our survival and existence came into doubt .....

Tired of being played around in the hands of people in the name of love like a toy,

People come, enjoy and leave as per their comfort and wish, while leaving us alone to cry.....

While we loved them with all our hearts,

While for them we were just a time pass toy....

They played with us when they were lonely and needed some joy,

Then, when they wished, they suddenly left, blocking us out of life and leaving us to die.....

Dying inside over and over 1000 times,

Still paying the price of "love" named sin and crime....

Not able to control the heart,

Still being played like a puppet and a mime....

Still Locked in memories,

Memories of once upon a time...

Where this love felt pure and kind,

Where this love was intense and divine.....

Now ages after being blocked,

Now waking from my dream world, I feel totally lost...

The heart is in deep shock,

Feels like, by this whole world, I am being mocked....

Can't believe I failed to see how selfish, mean, heartless and brutal you were ,

I failed to see who you truly were
