...what do you do, when love is lost...

Have you ever had that one person in your life that you'd give your all for. Romantic or family. The one person that knows they have strings and ties to your heart. What happens when that person will only take advantage of your love for them. What happens when they hurt you more than their capacity to love you. What happens when they don't know how you need to be loved? In my case love is lost. I have a long change, a history of sorts, of giving my all for nothing. Compared to the puppy that is abused and keeps going back for more. Yea, sadly, that has been me, my heart has been broken by first loves and family alike. And it's almost as if they didn't even realize the damage they were doing. As if they couldn't see that maybe, just maybe she is human. Maybe she isn't my superhero, maybe i need to stand on my own two feet. Does that happen, not usually. It has yet to occur in my life that the ones that hurt me most realize that they hurt more than they've ever helped. Yea then love is lost. It's not that you stop loving that person, it's just that you learn to love yourself more. There comes a time in each persons life, where they realize what they will settle for and what they won't. And whats worth it and whats not. I'm realizing i'm worth my being happy. And if that hurts you or makes you uncomfortable, well i'm sorry to hear it. But i have to be happy. And at first it starts with me.
