When will love come?

“You’re young,”

“You’re time will come,”

“You’ll find somebody some day,”

“Just be patient,”

But that’s not what I want to hear.

I want to know why everybody I’ve loved

Always leaves.

I want you to tell me,

How do I get them to stay?

I want a reason for why

I love with all my heart

And give them everything that’s in me

Just for them to leave me in the dust.

I love.

I give love.

But why can’t I be given love in return?

Explain to me how every time I let someone

Truly learn who I am, who I strive to be

And see my heart,

How do they hurt me they way they always do?

Why is it so easy for them?

I don’t do them wrong.

But they turn on me as if I did.

I give them chance after chance

But they will still give excuses as to why

I’m not worth one.

I want to hear why I am perceived

As unloveable!

Love me

Hate me

But let me be free

From the why’s.

From the what if’s.

From their manipulation

Causing me to second guess who I am.

When will the day come

That somebody actually sees me

Worthy of their love.
