To a Lover Who Will Never Love Me

Still?

Why?

Still?

After all this time you still have a hold on me.

Seven years.

You make me do things I'm not proud of.

You don't even have to ask.

I know what you want.

I'll do it and regret it later.

As I desperately seek your affection.

Your approval.

Your attention.

I'll have it for a while.

Then rejection.

I do this to myself every time.

I want to blame you.

But the crime is mine.

I like you.

I deserve better.

But then my eyes get wet.

Because I want you and I can’t forget…

I’m nothing special to you.
