Why is it?

Why is it that we hurt the ones that love us the most and we protect and and fight for those who hurt us the worst?
Is it human nature to be drawn to those who will be the ones to make us suffer and cry and question ourselves?
Is it our nature to shun those who want only to love us and provide for us and to see us prosper?
I only ask because we have all done it and are guilty of it.
We have all been guilty at some point in our lives at pushing away the advances of genuine sincerity but opened our arms and welcomed lies and deceit.
There must be something in our heads that makes us believe that perhaps this time will be different or perhaps this person has changed.
But it’s our hearts that know the truth and fear the outcome and pay the price.
We cannot lay blame on those who’ve hurt us in the past or those who destroyed a dream we shared with them.
They have passed with the autumn wind and a new beginning came with spring but we let out hearts remain bitten with the winter frost.
Why is it that we hurt the ones that love us the most and we protect and and fight for those who hurt us the worst?
It’s because the ones who love us the most are never the ones we truly want to love back or that we feel we truly deserve.
