Love is Pain

Love is pain
This is true
why do I have to hurt
just because I once said I love you

Your memory is sweet
and holds within my heart
though I have held it so long
it's turning tart

I wanted you to be
always in my life
had you been willing
you'd have been my wife

but you left me
in a manner oh so cruel
and my heart kept me
playing the fool

And when you returned
it was quite a shock
to find that you
even my friendship did mock

so I sought
to be just polite
but apparently
I couldn't even get that right

now I'm sitting
here in my grief
wondering how
I might say this and be brief

You shattered my heart
ripped it asunder
mangled my love
was I merely a blunder

well now I've decided
to finish my part
and finally put
my horse before the cart

I can't have you back
nor in truth do you I even want
for I've realized the truth
you're naught but a cu*t

My heart still says
that you are swell
but the rest of me
just wants to tell
that you can go
straight to hell
