Unrequited

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I said I would wait for you.

And although I cried myself to sleep

for thirty nights in a row,

I still waited.



Why did you walk out on my love?

Was it not enough?

Did all my words of encouragement

become too much?



I would have done anything for you,

but you couldn’t do the one thing I asked

and somehow I’m the one

that still misses you.



I’m the one that cries every day

not because I want to be with you,

but because you so blatantly

rejected my love.



You made me disbelieve all I felt

as well as every word you said.

Why did you put me through this?

What did I do but try to love you?
