HURT

I pleaded with you to leave me alone

When all I wanted was to be held

When quietly you obliged

Abandoned and betrayed I felt

I said I needed time

To get over the torment of loving you

So that I may one day face you

With eyes that didn’t brim with dew

When will these sea-saw games

That I play with my own self end

When will pure love conquer

So that I stop going around the bend

For to hurt is to pamper the self

And make demands that neither can keep

Why can I not simply love you

Without letting anguish within me seep

Oh someone teach me to sieve away pain

And that furtive demon that courts need

So I may remain standing tall there

Loving you, without any greed

When my heart is full with your love

Why then should my eyes remain empty

Why does my body keep yearning

When my soul has your love in plenty
