Love is a disease

Love is a disease that everyone wants to catch.
It grabs you by the heart and when it lets go
it leaves your heart crumpled and broken.

I was in love, maybe I still am
My mind says NO but my heart
screams YES!

It hurts to think of the past
My old scars stretch open
and the stitches pop
It's like ripping the band-aid
off a healing wound and pouring
salt on it....It hurts like hell.

I want to hate it, but I can't
I want to forget it, but it comes
back to me in a rush like a dream
I want to love it, but I can't let it
take me again
I want leave it alone, but the memories
charge at me like spears being thrown

Why couldn't you just stay away?
Why did you have to kill me?
You shattered me.
You were the reason I died inside.
I hate you
I love you
Just leave me be.

And when they don't find any marks on my body
Tell them that twas love that killed the beast.
