You said that it's wonderful to be in love.
You said that I should love you.
You have vowed to love me unconditionally.
I didn't realize that it would make me sad.
Is it love, or are you?
Are you the one who is making me sad?
I'm no longer joyful about it.
I mean the love we have.
I experience loneliness, sadness, and trauma.
I try to be joyful, and I keep trying.
But you continue to provoke me.
How will I feel loved?
How would you expect me to be happy?
I tried to make you happy.
I wanted to meet you halfway.
But you don't appear to notice my efforts.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
