Love Me Back
How can you love someone,
when they don’t love you back?
Unrequited love is really cruel,
as always, we allow them, to act the fool.
Some wounds just grow even deeper,
no matter what is said or done.
It hurts when they ignore you,
their heart eagerly you try to win.
You cannot help to whom you fall.
Love always chooses when to begin.
The chosen never really understand,
as your devotion they cannot return.
One-sided love is very painful,
shredding you relentlessly inside.
The ability to love like this is a blessing,
from which no one should ever hide.
