Why Won't You Love Me Back?

When I first saw you, it was love at first sight. my heart leapt and immediately I wanted to love you with all of my might.

But it seems that that love is only one sided. You saw me and turned the other way. That broke my heart and I just cannot hide it.

But I am holding on to the hope that one day you will love me too. And I am continuously trying to show my unconditional love for you.

I said, if you call me I'll answer, no matter the day, time, or reason, I'm there. It seems you only call me when you want something from me, but I love you so much, I don't even care.

I wrote you a love letter, but I watched you glance at a few lines and then toss it on the table as though you did not care. I gave you several beautiful plants and flowers, but you never seem to have time to enjoy their beauty. I don't think you even notice that they're there.

I asked you to sit and enjoy a sunrise or sunset with me, but you can't seem to make time for me on your list of things to do. I provided you with everything you need and even said tell me what your heart desires and I'll give you that too.

I promised you riches beyond what you could ever imagine. I told you I have gold, mansions, and plenty of food, and I said they're yours, you can have them.

All of this and still you won't love me. So, I have to assume it's because there's someone else who has your heart. I've tried so hard to prove my love to you but you reject me and it's tearing me apart.

So I decided to try one more time to prove how much I love you, and once I tell you what I did for you, I am sure you will love me too.

I let these people beat me, talk about me, and spit on me too. They put thorns in my head and vinegar on my lips, but I let them because I wanted you to know I love you.

I let them hang me up on wood by my arms and feet. I let them mock me and ridicule me, but I love you so much, I just couldn't admit defeat.

They drove nails in me and even stabbed me in my side. But I didn't say a word. I just thought, now I know you'll love me. And then, just for you, I hung my head and died.
