Why Don't You Love Me?

Brought to life

Hoping for

Love and support.

Instead,

Toxic and negativity.

Why don't you love me?

This vine needs support.

Yet, pushed away.

No sunshine or love,

Left in cold of winter.

Isolation and desolation.

Why don't you love me?

Filled with anger.

All I know,

Motivates,

Fuels,

Surrounds me.

The vine shows its thorns,

Lashes out.

Blame placed.

Why don't you love me?

Am I bad?

Must be me.

No other vines are ignored.

Abused,

Blamed,

Joyless,

Empty.

Never having good poured in.

Why don't you love me?

Carrying baggage,

Cloud of doubt.

Never taken in love,

Left broken,

Seeking broken,

Happiness escaping.

Blind.

No map to navigate.

Can't keep the toxic

Cloud out.

Fills me and

Feel no good

For myself.

Why don't you love me?

Tape pieces together.

So broken but

Realization sets in.

It wasn't me,

It was you.

Traded a lifetime for

Self-love.

Still downs but

I love me.

Why don't you love me?
