Can You

Can you love and except me?

Left me alone regret me

Can you feel what is there?

Left me alone because you don’t care

Can’t you see that I’m in pain?

But don’t because you don’t feel the same

Can I blame you for my tears?

Not leaving you I’m still here

As I give you my faith and time

Waiting for the day you’ll be mine

Only to waste time

As you brought me pain

Brought me heartache

Brought me shame

That I once loved you

That I once adored you

No matter what you wanted

I’d do anything for you

Tried to show you, as I would hold you

As I would kiss your lips

Didn’t care about my feelings

Destroyed my imaginary bliss

As I sit so sad

Remembering

What I thought was mine

Is something no one can have

If the feeling is only one way

Only to wake up

To face

Another lonely day

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was written in 1998. I was confused  about the feelings I still had over a relationship gone bad.
