unrequited
my dearest lover, i love you with all my heart even as i know how foolish that is i cannot help what i feel within i hate myself for needing you sometimes but that is the truth your touch penetrates my mind and my skin if only you would not destroy the beauty you find if only you could not see it as a threat that i have a mind and yet i love so much the part of you i contribute to and i love so much the part of me that is in you and i pay with my life in choosing to stay despite the fact that your heart constantly strays. one day you love me, the next you don’t leaving me nearly barren of hope then i look back to your beginning and check your foundation i’m so convinced you could one day reach your intended destination. i believe in you despite when you hit me and bloody my face despite the way you treat me with such disgrace and everyone thinks i’m crazy for remaining maybe they are right though they never ask me why i’m maintaining though i appear to be losing this fight still i pledge my heart to the potential of you though you often make me cry with the things that you do but i can see that the best of you is as good/ as the rest of you is bad you make my heart sing when i see what
