love is a harsh thing

why did i love him?
i often wonder.
was it the way he made me feel?
certainly, it could not be.

i wasn't myself.
i wasn't happy.

wasn't skinny enough.
wasn't pretty enough.
wasn't enough.
i'm never enough. i never feel like i'm enough.

so i often wonder what love is supposed to feel like.
agonizing pain?
a hollow, useless sentiment?
or a temporary body to fill me for the moment.


i spin in
circles.
twirl around.
maybe if i spin enough, I think.
maybe i will spin myself into understanding.

so i spin and stumble.
twirl and
tumble.

I only find myself more mixed up than I was before.
I have nowhere to go.
nothing left i can do.
so on i spin.

love is a harsh thing.
