The Most Painful Thing
by   Valerie

The most painful thing is watching
While you love somebody new
This gaping hole inside me grows
With every thought of you

The most painful thing is thinking of you
Crying myself to sleep
Wondering how to live without you
As deeper into my soul the pain seeps

The most painful thing is caring
When you barely know I exist
Pretending nothing matters to you
Believing that what we shared isn't missed

The most painful thing is remembering
How you made me feel
Your love was like a package
That somehow lost the seal

The most painful thing is waiting
For your sweet love to return
Although it's no longer true
Deep within me it will always burn

The most painful thing is loving you
Knowing you don't love me back
And realizing the once existing "us"
Has withered and faded to black

Worse than a bullet through my heart
Being beaten black and blue
The greatest pain I've ever known
Has come from loving you
