Pain is a shadow of love

I love you
You love her
Where do I belong?
Surely not in your arms
It was fun to borrow your chest
Though it feels bad knowing
I hurt someone for my happiness
I knew I was right when I thought
I shouldn't be smiling
But I am a sucker for hug
A sucker for a kiss
And a sucker for love
I knew I'd be hurt
But I let my heart win
I couldn't hate you
I have no right to
Your cold brown eyes
It warns me of pain
I didn't listen to that tiny voice
Trying to guide me
I suffer while you confess
It's my fault, I know
I made you think it's okay
I made you think I am okay
A little too late to be honest
But I'm not
I couldn't blame you
For giving me the hugs that I wanted
The kisses that I longed for
And the love that I thought was mine
Because. ..
"I love you"
And whenever I let those words out
I end up breaking myself
'cause pain is a shadow of love

great write

""I love you"
And whenever I let those words out
I end up breaking myself
'cause pain is a shadow of love"

That stanza was brilliant.

Yay! Thanks. Few days ago that phrase, "pain is a shadow of love" just came to me. Then I thought of writing a poem 'bout it but I ended up writing something that has happened to me. lol.
