Why is it that you cause me pain
Yet I still cling to you?
You rip my heart out
And play with it like a toy,
Yet for you, it still calls.
I cannot understand this love
That cuts me deep,
Every time I think of you.
I exorcize you,
Like a ghost
You haunt me, my dreams.
I rationalize, philosophize, pray and strategize.
But you don’t leave my mind/heart
Why, I ask
Does my heart call out to you?
When I know that all I will reap
Is pain when you leave yet again?
Why is it?
