Relationships

What cuts deeper than a knife?
What causes more pain than death?
What can be worse than thinking about someone you once loved?
How about being in a relationship where you feel alone?

About all the time and money spent,
On the person you could see yourself with forever.
Being used just so they can get what they want?
Then they go up and leave just like they came into your life.

You not only get left but nothing was a sign that love was giving up,
You thought all was good because no signs were apparent that it was over.
You are giving all you had but still not enough,
This is why men get fed up.
This is what makes men not want to commit.

Its not that they are dogs,
Like most woman would say.
But it is the way most men are treated by woman,
So, we should really think how a woman treats a man.

Because men want love,
Deep down but when treated badly.
Changes a man opinion on what they want,
And how we view a woman when all they get was hurt by the one, they loved.

Some men seek out only looks,
But those change so they will never commit.
If you seek the heart and soul, and can love one woman and find that faults but build her up not tear her down,
Then love can work, and it can be beautiful.
