Poem: How Could You?

How could you

tell me you love me,

leave me sad and lonely,

and live with what you did to me?

Why isn’t there a love for me?

And I’m asking,

how could life be so cruel to me?

I’ve been waiting so patiently.

Waiting for someone

to love me,

hug me,

rub me,

and

caress me

all over my body.

And I’m asking,

how could you tell me you love me,

leave me sad and lonely,

and live with what you did to me?

Why isn’t there a love for me?

I tried so hard

to please you,

love,

and be with you.

It seemed like

it was never enough.

You always expected more.

Much more

than I could give.

I gave

all I had to give.

All I ever wanted

was your love,

acceptance,

companionship,

and oneness.

With you,

I wanted to be.

There seemed

no other for me.

And I’m asking,

how could you tell me you love me,

leave me sad and lonely,

and live with what you did to me?

Why isn’t there a love for me?

How could life be so cruel to me?
