You think you know love
I assure you not
Love, what does it mean
When do you know that love is what you've got

I have suffered at its hands
My heart being twisted by it
My eyes bled the tears of hurt
Countless hours of emptiness in me would sit

Did love spare me the tormentment
No, it fed and inspired my pain
So much piercing in my heart
What did I have to gain

Pure space and endless torture
Was both my foe and friend
I have learnt something from this
That the torture of Love will never end

I do feel the same way

"everyday i hide and dry my tears, but the hurt just won't go away
I guess the wounds and scars of falling in love is here to stay"

Firstly welcome to the dark forum    The pain never leaves but it lessens, and then lessens more till it is just an uncomfortable memory...   It'll happen it may take time but it will, in the meantime -
vent here in dark, it really helps  

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Love provides such pain.  Without loss, though, where would be the gain?  Awesome poem.  Keep them coming!

LeeAnne

Welcome
I´m new here too so I think its nice to meet other rookies here and read their poems.

Like the way you make me think with your poem, wandering whether it´s worth it.
But it is my friend, it´s worth every bit of pain on the way...

Keep up the good work...

 Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday...

I hear you...

Why must love be pleasure intermingled with such pain? The pain must be there somewhere, lurking, otherwise the love means nothing.

There never can be true trust, the more you open up the deeper cuts and more pain.

...and just when you think that you come out of the darkness, it drags you back in again
