I've heard it before.
Rumors of love.
They once enlightened me about it.
Yet I never believed it was true.
They said that love is blind.
They said that pain is love.
Some say it has implications.
Some say it ends with tears.
Now I understand,
That love isn't only sweet.
Sometimes it's sour.
The truth is that love requires sacrifice.
It requires truthfulness,
and keeping promises to one another.
I have shed tears out of love.
It broke my heart.
I believe that love hurts.
I've decided to stop loving.
And I will live my life freely.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

There isn't love without pain and so, I don't want love. Loved your poem!
Oh, you just have to find the right person to love. There’s always hurt in life - rise above it. 🤗
