Poetry: Why Don’t You Love Me? by Nobody: 2:13am On Nov 26, 2012
Why don’t you love me?
I try so hard, change so much
Forget myself in the midst of trying
Hair did, nails did, eye candy of
perfection
Losing myself in my need for your love
No longer a woman of myself yet not
your woman
****

Is it not easy? Loving me?
I work at it, day and night, perfecting
the formula
Becoming the type of woman a man
could love
Food made, bath run, let me cater to
you, fulfill your every desire
Take me, up against the wall, in the
kitchen, on the bed
My body is yours to do with as you
please
So why don’t you love me?
****

Friends, that’s what we are, friends
when sweating up the sheets
Friends in public, friends in private
Damn you why don’t you love me when
I’ve made me so damn easy to love
I’ve forgotten who I am, who I can be
Independent woman, phenomenal
woman
Lost in need, lost in love
****

Daddy issues, you got daddy issues,
everybody says
Needing your love with every breath is
my daddy issue
‘You don’t need a man to make you a
woman’
Lies, all of it, I NEED you
Your smile, your touch, your love
Why don’t you love me?
****

Do I mean anything? Anything at all?
The kisses, the loving, was I alone?
The constant pain, a dull part of our
games, funny no longer
Does hurting me amuse you? Seeing my
tears please you?
Am I not enough? Take me apart, hurt
me hard
Just love me
****

Hospital bed, suicide watch,
Do you love me now? In this moment,
have I proven myself?
Can you not see my love shining
through the blood and the tears?
Psychiatrist’s office, brown sofas,
White tables, coffee pots, sickly smiles
‘So…’ she says, ’…Why don’t YOU love
YOU?’
****
