(6/8/12) <br /> <br />Some time love hurts to a point you want to cry <br />You feel as if everything in you has begun to die <br />You try to fill it, but it's like shoveling sand against the tide. <br /> <br />I recall when I first saw you standing under the street light <br />My mind started jumping and my heart took flight. <br />I walked over to you and asked you your name <br />I didn't feel guilty and felt no shame. <br /> <br />Life is like a traffic light - it's a stop and go <br />First you move fast - then you move slow. <br />You had came to me with tears in your eyes <br />Because your loved one had said good-bye. <br /> <br />You never knew the feelings I had inside <br />It was something that I always tried to hide. <br />I see the pain etched in your face <br />There's no shame in crying, there's no disgrace. <br />But loving someone who doesn't love you <br />That is something that I knew. <br /> <br />You are the sun that rises in my soul <br />Being with you all of life unfolds <br />You are the water that quenches my thirst <br />You fill up my body to a point of burst. <br /> <br />Sometimes love hurts, and you feel as if your world is caving in <br />Just open up your mind and let me in. <br />I will show you what love is really about <br />Of that my love there is no doubt. <br />You see life is no good when you're alone <br />And every love you ever had, you had blown <br />So let him learn the aches and pains that you have gone thru <br />this is all that you can do. <br />Sometimes love hurts, but it doesn't have to <br />Because I am right here next to you.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sometimes-love-hurts/
