how are you supposed to love
when it hurts so much
is love supposed to mend
or is it supposed to cut?

how can the two coexist
inside one heart
is a heart made of steel
or is it made of glass?

if my love knows no bounds
does my heart know its part?

it expands, fills up
when it comes to the part
where a flicker of your praise
shines a light in my heart

it contracts, feels numb
when your words tear it apart

how do i love
when hurt’s the hardest part?
