love hurts,
to the hightest power,
it shouts and laughs in your face,
along with the moon
at all its victims and fools,
all selfdouts and fears,magnified,
as it crushes you
as you thought you've won
its long sought after prize,
it feels like heaven has
descended on this wretched temporal home,
for about a minute,
until the slipaway
starts away,
it reaches its peak
as it flies by,
leaving shortly as it touches down,
it consumes you
as you inhale and exhale
all in one breath,
fills and empties,
as you cant hold it,
turns you inside out
upside down,
ghostly white and pallid,
down on your knees,
scraping bone,
in a deluge of hailstones,
beaten
and violated at times,
love hurts
love hurts
love hurts
and then you die...........

I thought it was ~you wish you could die~. Of course, maybe that isn't love at all.

I do like this a lot, but I will never believe there isn't a happy ending.

Thanks, Pat

This is a fine expression of love's torments, but I too, think that there is "someone waiting to be joined to me by fate"...and someone recently was. KJ

Can you imagine what the hourly rate would be???

Love doesnt hurt! Its the foolishness of loving the wrong person that hurts. When you delude yourself into thinking you are in love when its only infatuation. Infatuation hurts with the realization and disappointment of the truth. To be loved is wonderful and to love back is better. You are loved but blinded by the bright lights of vegas. Problem is when one of those lights dim....its overshadowed by another.

I once thought I was consumed until I understood the definition, love isn't supposed to drive you half mad and I get the feeling you're tougher than that.

Anyway, I'm not dead yet...
wait let me check!
