Love
Hate
Honesty
Deceit

All of these
poured into a relationship
All of these
hurt and ease the pain

We all want one thing
To be desired and cared for
To be loved and to love back
But sometimes
We cannot

Sometimes
We feel a pain
One so hard
that we never recover

Whether it be via betrayal
Or via pure honesty
Or via hatred for the other
Or maybe the love you feel drives them away

You may never know
But perhaps
You were never meant to
Perhaps we are tortured with these feelings for a reason

Be it to be hurt and tortured
or to be loved and desired
We will never know
So we push on now and wall ourselves
To protect ourselves
And not feel the pain
