Heartbreak harvest

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 exsosize you,

Like a ghost

You haunt me, my dreams.

I rationalize, philophize, pray, 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?
