Love is nothing but a weakness,
A strange sort of emotion,
Putting up to the test
Your strength and your devotion.

It feels good for the first little bit
While you're hoping it will last.
But then you just go and sit,
As you watch it walk right past.

Then, every time you see it come
You struggle to hide the tears.
You cry and cry till your hurt is numb
And hope escape is near.

Every day, it happens again,
And you wish it could just stop.
It's just so hard to endure this pain.
This and death, I'd swap.

Then, one sunrise,
There's a different feeling.
Something so familiar, but filled with lie.
And in that moment, you realize you're done healing.
After I wrote this, it reminded me of a quote from One Tree Hill. I'm not sure which episode it is but I believe it is from season five. If anybody finds the exact episode, please let me know. It is said by Lucas:

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else. Something that feels wrong only because it's so unfamiliar, and in that moment you realize you're happy.

Nicely done. The pain of love, the farcity of it all...I can relate with everything but the last stanza sadly.
