?! Do You Love Me ?!

I gave you all the reasons to love me and yet you don't,

You gave me all the reasons to not love you and yet I do.

Is it because you couldn't or simply won't,

Please give me an answer; one that's true.

Look into my eyes and answer truthfully,

Do you or do you not love me?

Spare me no excuses, lies or pity,

Just put and end to my misery.

Let me know if the answer is yes,

Don't deny what's already there.

Be mine and let me do my best,

Pull me up and show that you care.

If the answer is no then cut the rope,

Tell me you have no affection for me.

Take away my dreams and my false hope,

Be honest and spare me no mercy.

Look into my eyes and tell me these,

Tell me the time we spent didn't mean a thing,

Tell me you felt nothing whenever we kiss,

Look into my eyes and tell me I meant nothing.

Look into my eyes and answer truthfully,

Whisper the words that I want to hear.

Spare me no excuses, lies or pity.

All I want is your honesty, my dear.

I build

I build dreams

I build defense

I build barriers

I build around me

I build with passion, anger

I hide

I hide things

I hide my fears

I hide memories

I hide inside a wall

I hide everything

I am

I hear

I hear you

I hear anger

I hear my kids

I hear violence

I hear what they'll become

I hear nothing that you say

I want

I want

I want

I want

I want a better life

I want a life worth living

I KNOW

I know words

I know people

I know you are there

I know this must soon end

I know what it is and wait
