Time after time

It hurts when you feel for someone
more than they feel for you.
I’ve been rejected time
after time it each times it hurts.
So y do I continue to try and make things work when they cant?
I should learn to move on and be an independent woman.
If I want to succeed
in this world I can’t be held back
by lust,
infatuation,
and especially not love.
They are only barriers holding me back from the goals I have set
for myself.
