The Pain of Love

by Hailley Mitchell
(Amherst, Ohio, USA)

As the day goes on
Longer and longer
Brings the pain of time

Not wanting to fall in love
But yet again fallin’ for him

He says “Baby I love you”
I never wanted to do that to you
Yet you still try to play
With my heart

After the last time you hurt me
I swore I would never love again

Look at me NOW
I have fallen in love once more
Yet this person is not you
