A Monologue To Love

love
i like to love you like love
why do you hurt me
at the end?

love?
what do you expect of me?
why do you give me hope?
only to push me at the edge
of the cliff
and then i fall and get
crushed
like a splattered melon
on the ground

love
i had once an ecstasy of you
love i have loved you
and you loved me too

just once
just once
a long time ago
and then it was over
