Font Color=darkvioletlove Is Pain Poem by Jane Meyer

Font Color=darkvioletlove Is Pain



I loved a game once,
Addicted to it, that I was,
Before I saw its pointlessness,
After my eyes saw only fuzz.

I loved a tree once,
Before it was chopped down,
And now there is a building,
Upon that very ground.

I loved a toy once,
The greatest love of my life,
Only to be consumed by fire.
My bliss replaced with strife.

I loved a cat once,
A beauty by the name of Zar.
She went missing one day,
Found the next killed by a car.

I loved a dog once,
He would run and jump and play.
I woke one morn’ to feed him.
I found him dead that day.

I loved my mom once,
Or at least that’s what I thought,
But then as I grew older,
I learned that love it was not.

I loved a man once,
But only realized once he was dead.
So my love steered toward another,
That only existed in my head.

I loved a friend once,
We claimed of friends forever,
But then I was betrayed,
Now I wish to see her never.

I loved once,
But as you can surely see,
Love is pain,
That’s all it’s been for me.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

That was really cool. Naming all the things you loved and how it didn't work out. Very creative. I'm sorry that love has only been pain for you. I understand how that can be. Anyway, great poem!

Love IS pain. I try not to be cynical but it's all the same.
