It Hurts To Know

by Joanna Figiel - Not entered

It hurts to know that every word u say to me was a lie,
And I wonder how you could be so cold, so cruel?
I'm lost, trying to understand, dying to understand,
Why?
I loved you so much, I adored you,
And you didn't even care.
Didn't care to tell me the truth.
Lies were the sweet agony I endured.
I would have done anything for you.

It hurts to know that you don't love me,
You just walk on by, like I'm a stranger,
Don't care to see me cry.
But here I am still holding on,
I can't accept that this is all that's left.
To you, a non-existent memory of a girl who was just another girl.
and to me, a lifelong hope...
A dream...
A wish...
That someday you sill say to me,
Three words that would touch me so deeply,
I love you.

But for now my pillow lies damp and cold,
Because my heart is broken.
I'm trying to hide the pain, 
Trying to hold back the tears.
I have so much to say, but i don't know how.

All those nights I spent in sleepless slumber,
I just sat awake and I wondered...
Why?
Why can't I be the one you love?
Never before has my heart felt like this,
So full of pain,
So full of sadness.
It's a feeling of emptiness.
It's a love I know in this lifetime I will never feel again,
Nor would want to feel again,
If it brings me so much pain not to have it.

But the more time passed the more I ached,
And I realized we weren't meant to be.
For how could I throw time away,
On something so foolish, so unreal.
All my life I've only been pretending.

I love you so much, and I know I always will.
Not the moon, nor the stars, nor the heavens above,
Could ever understand what I feel for you.
It just hurts to know that you know this,
And you don't care.
So now i'll do the thing I should...
Slowly...
Forget...

Reason for writing:

    The reason why i wrote this poem is pretty obvious...
the person i loved so much...didn't love me back, 
he just lied...The thing that inspired me to submit this
was that i thought if I got my feelings out, it would 
help me pick up the pieces of my broken heart.  I'm not 
mad at him for what he did, that's not what this is about.
I just wanted everybody to know that, 
You don't lose by loving, you lose by holding back.
Thanx.
p.s- If you have any comments about my poem...i would 
love to hear from you...so email me if you have anything 
to say.
