So, I know this is a very advanced question, because I've looked everywhere and cannot for the life of me find the right word I'm looking for.
I'm currently writing an album and I need a word that means a hate of the concept of love, however, not in an evil, bad guy way, more so a sympathetic, saddening way. I need a word that can intricately describe the feeling of being hurt by love, and result in hating the concept of love itself because of the hurt it has brought upon. I don't want any conjunctions or dash mark words (-), I want a full word.
If such a word doesn't exist, that sucks.

There's probably no word specifically for your intended meaning. But the idea immediately reminded me of the Bob Seger song, Beautiful Loser (because that's how I view that sort of person). youtube.com/watch?v=czIdAcKDZVs

@tchrist a person asking a question can't know that there isn't a word for something.. or at least an idiom. I'm reaching for something in my memory as it seemed to be such a common 19th century thing along with their nervous breakdowns (which I also forget the word for)

"Hurt by love" is, of course, "heartbroken".

The first word that comes to mind is jaded.
:: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something [ Merriam-Webster's]
Jessica was jaded with relationships after her last boyfriend cheated on her.

I generally interpret "jaded" to mean having lost interest due to overexposure to the concept.

I would go with scorned.
A feeling and expression of contempt or disdain for someone or something.
To use in a common saying... "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
