Understanding You

The lover in me wants to love you 
no matter what you do
the woman in me wants to talk it out
the avenger in me wants to make you 
hurt like i am hurting right now because of you 
the forgiver wants to say it's ok 
the shy one in me wants to just crawl in my shell
but the whole of me wants to understand how 
you can say you love me and want to spend the 
rest of your life with me when you hurt me so 
much and don't seem to care that you do
how do you act like i'm the problem and your the 
victim here? help me understand please? why do you 
push me away instead of holding me close?
