love hurts

pain commenced an evil twist
some call it fate
others call it woe
this to me you bestow
a change of heart
this is the start
as my mind goes to and fro
darkened dungeons
beconning calls
my heart in confusion
builds a wall
blocking any intrusion
hid away from the world today
this wall it is my dungeon
alone i wait my fate
my head it hurts
i swear it feels
as if hit by a truncheon

Yes lost love is even more painful than the pain of being in love, both very strong yet opposing emotions, good write.

Painful darkhorse. Yet sometimes we have to experience pain to feel the pleasure of what love and life is/. At least \I read it from OSHO and it is sometimes if not almost always true for me.

Hope it will be replaced with joy soon.

"pain commenced an evil twist

It does get complicated..
Sometimes it's for the best.

You write well.

...the pain. So perfect...so absolute. Pain is the last resort away from everything that failed you. That kind that doesn't hurts ; it cures you and makes you stronger. Your religion that doesn't need churches or altars but the purity of your soul.
Pain loves you more than you love it, because its love is infinitely great and kind and you don't have to believe in pain...pain believes in you. Pain had never deceived anyone. Once you entrusted it, you can fully and finally understand the meaning of love.
Here's a hug DH!

Hi darkhorse

Love hurts

As My Favorite Artist
Mr Leonard Cohen said in his wonderful song.

There ain't no cure for love.

I now embrace all the love I have known.. and smile with the memory of its joy,
and I try not to focus on the pain and loss side of things.
Its tough to do but,it turned my thinking.. and life..in a very positive way.
Lots of love sent to you on your quest for someone special.

builds a wall

I can identify with these words. Enjoyed.

They say:

"Love Is A Madness... without a cure"

I couldn't bypass this one!
It's extraordinary how much one can learn both from a poem and comments, and sympathize with, knowing well what it's all about. Love definitely hurts if unrequited, as it mostly is, and even when requited it still hurts, still love is the only thing worth every single tear, so

Here’s toast to love, which is so great,
So overwhelming that you only question
Where it comes from, out of what place
Pounds blood sustaining your devotion!

Thank you, dear poet, for sharing it with us!

This is a very moving poem. We have all been there but with pain there is growth and this is often followed by renewal. With pain, we often become better at loving and allowing ourselves to be loved. Write more
