a sad write. love should make you smile, not cry, happy not sad, no, it shouldn't hurt....i like the emotions & sadness of this poem.

In answer to the question, "Is the cost of love, Pain", once again, StarPoet is on point! No-a thousand times no, love is not supposed to hurt! Once you allow a person to hurt you emotionally, physically, or in any other way, they will continue to do it! I had this problem once, a long time ago, but when I learned how to love myself (first), I knew at that moment, that the hurt and the pain that I allowed to be done to me by another human being, was over! Happy to report that since I've been loving me first, I' haven't had any of the old hurt or pains.

No, love is not supposed to hurt,especially physically. There are times where you will make each other mad,for no two people will ever get along ALL the time. But thats where understanding and forgiveness comes in. But if it gets physical, then that is not love. That is obsession. That is idiocy and small mindedness in action. So too is cheating on the one you love. You deserve better and you know it. (Read my poem "The Man That You Deserve").
