Painfully locked in love
I let myself bleed.
I allowed the worst of love to touch me.
I know the best parts exist somewhere,
but not here, not now.
So why do I stay?
Why can’t I let go?
Don’t I deserve the light of love,
instead of this shadow?
Every time I walk into love,
I bleed.
How do I make it stop?
How do I break free?
This feels like a horror story,
no hero, only the innocent falling deeper and deeper.
How do I climb out?
I carry so much pain inside.
I love honestly, yet I’m met with cruelty.
Why do I deserve this?
How do I prove I’m worthy of pure love?
My heart wears too many scars,
I’m not sure if healing is possible.
I get lost in loving them,
never finding my way back to myself.
I battle through each relationship,
hopeful for something better next time,
but the story never changes.
Why isn’t my love returned the same?
Why is my joy always compromised,
and my love sacrificed?
Why must love hurt so much?
Why does my heart stay, even as it bleeds?
Oh, dear heart,
why won’t you set me free,
when I am bound by a love that hurts?
