This poem is called I AM

I am the reason that you cried yourself to sleep from a broken heart that night,
I am the reason you love when they hug & hold you tight.
I am the reason you're bitter & does mean things out of spite,
I am the reason it hurts so bad when y'all argue & fight.
I am the reason you stayed even though you wasn't appreciated,
I am the reason bitter feelings of regret have been created.

I am the reason you won't let the past go,
I am the reason it's hard for you to ever again let your emotions show.
I am the reason the pain in your heart has invisible permanent scars,
I am the reason you let hateful feelings allow you to take matters way too far.
I am the reason why emotional pain is such a nightmare,
I am the reason you hold hope that they still might care.

I am the reason you're scared to hold anyone close,
I am the reason betrayal hurts the most.
I am the reason you wish happy days together could've lasted forever,
I am the reason you wish that y'all could've ended it better.
I am the reason when y'all fell out it felt like a living hell,
I am fake but I am also very real and most times it's hard to tell.

I am the reason you should move on but you still keep in touch,
I am most often confused with lust.
I am the reason you stayed after you clearly had enough,
I am the reason you stayed when things was too rough & too tough.
I am the reason when you should've left but you still fought,
I am the reason that you didn't let that horrible relationship simply be an afterthought.

I am a different experience for everyone - the stories about me are never the same,
I am colder than ice - I am hotter than a flame & I am way more hurt than any pain.
The loss of me can & will drive a sane person insane.
People seek me out because I soothe their heart & bring peace to their brain,
They yearn for me even though I am known to make an endless pain on them rain,
I cause much aggravation but my presence remains the same.

I am the reason you tried so hard to make it work,
I am the reason you can't take it when your heart hurts.
I am intoxicating - the need of what I am is what people can't get rid of,
I am addictive like drugs & I'm what everyone has dreamed of.
I am everything that these words have said I was,

I am hurt; I am joy;
I am true; I am love.
