This is not a love poem
Because I hate that word now
This is not a love poem
Because love is not a friend of mine
Love has held me captive for far too long
Love has betrayed me, mocked me, played me, and abandoned me.
This is not a love poem
Love is never painless
I see that now
Love is the reasoning behind my tear filled pillowcases
Love captures my thoughts too many times to count
This is not a love poem
Because love is only one sided
No one is ever loved in return as equally as it is put out.
This is not a love poem
I'd tear my heart out if I could
This is not a love poem
Because as much as I loved you,
It wasn't reciprocated
This is not a love poem
And as long as I live,
My only wish is to never feel
Loves sting again
