Is it worth it?
Heartache, tears, and pain.
Is love worth the hurt?

"No, it's not worth it," I whisper, still tears fall like rain,
Even with this realization, my heart continues to ache,
My heart aches again in the fiery pit of despair;
Hopes arise, only to be dashed without a care.

I burn again in the flames of sorrow and misery,
Forbidding expectations that dare to rise, only to be brought low;
At last, life in despair becomes idle and wants to embrace death,
Longing to escape the excruciating pain.

This is a story of many...
