Be Angry

A Love Poem

Why
do you still
love me?

How
can you still
smile at me

after
all the times
I made you cry

I’ve broken your heart

more times
than you deserve

But
you still
want me

I f*cked up
so many times

but
you keep
taking me back,

every single time

I’m sorry!

Please,
forgive me!

I’m scared
of your love

I’m frightened
by your company

I know
this is all
my own making;

but please,
just say something!

Be angry!

Cry,
or just be disgusted
at the sight
of me.

I can take
anything else

but this love
you are
showing me.
