The Other Side of It

My ‘feeling hurt’ has made you quite defensive,
You’re angry that I fell in love with you;
I had no right, because you never loved me,
I realize all that now. But still, it’s true

That I must grieve a dream that only I had,
And grow hot in the foolishness I feel;
To know that what I came to hope and cherish
Was nothing in your eyes,
And never
Real

  1. Ah, the darkest side of love, the self-inflicted torture that you can’t ever easily escape.. Beautifully written, painful to read!
