Love Poem: Hurting

Hurting

On this date,
My fate was sealed,
After I had gathered all the courage,
To tell her how I really feel.
Told her no more,
Was I afraid,
Told her that my heart,
Had already made,
It’s choice, wishing I, 
Could always hear your voice.
This is what she wanted me to do,
If she only knew what I had to put my heart through,
To make my decision,
Forgetting all the reasons,
That I shouldn’t,
All the times I told myself I wouldn’t,
Fall for her,
Waiting till the time was right,
Waiting till there was no more fight,
Left in my head to stop my heart,
Looking to you for it’s fresh start.
But as fate would have it,
You act like we’re not meant to be,
Just because in six months,
I fly away over the sea.
Even though I have to go,
Do you really want to throw,
All my love away.
It’s like you waited till,
I wanted to fill,
Up on your love,
To push me away,
Now should I stay,
Without the safety net,
That you just pulled out,
From under me,
Now I’m falling with,
No one to catch me.
The pain is unbearable,
The hurt in my heart is terrible,
Crying won’t help at all,
Only on your fall,
In love with me I can count,
Erase the doubt,
And love me,
Cause even when I go,
I will not throw,
Your love out my heart. 
You were there when I first needed you,
You stood by my side and helped me through,
The stuff(cuss) that went down,
Even when you were mad at me,
You were able to see,
That then I needed you,
And you came to my rescue.
Now I need it again,
I need you to ease the pain,
I need your arms around my neck,
But you can leave it if you want,
Cause you chose,
So just know,
If you really want to go,
You can go,
It’s too bad that you’re not sure,
I don’t want this,
But it’s like we’ve already missed,
Our chance at love.
I want you to be my dove,
And I thought it was me,
That you wanted,
But it seems like you fronted,
Let me fall in love,
Now I am on my knees crying,
Baby please don’t,
Baby I won’t,
Hurt you.
This seems all in vain,
Because I have already lost,
Already paid the cost,
I paid it in pain,
Let down my guard,
Then I just fell so hard.
Tell me what to do now,
Tell me how,
Am I supposed to get over you?
