A simple poem depicting a common woe faced in relationships.
I loved you with heart, body and soul
It wasn’t enough for you, you wanted twofold
Labours of love from dawn till dusk
Yet. You criticised, it wasn’t enough
Days I cried and at nights I died
You were totally blind, as to how hard I tried
A glimmer may arise but doused as it appears
Now I realise you are my greatest fear
A love unrequited
Talking to you is like talking to a babe
Tell them over and over but they do it again
It’s unbearable, now it’s time go
But you’re reassuring words tell my feet no
Too drained to leave on my own
Stuck in your type of love or the twilight zone
Hear my cry; send me back to my world
I’d be better off on my own
