why me?

I trust myself to never ask you I know your heart has many reasons One of them I know, Is that I'm no fool

I bear the might of my sorrow
alone I was sore yet believe in you
I've always asked a question why me?
Why me oh lover?
Do I hurt thee?

Broken my heart in pieces it lies
Jaded my mind distorted with lies
My tears have no emotion
To you am I the One?
Answer me oh lover
Do I hurt thee?

In your arms I feel bourne
My thirst has parched but my hunger famished
My mind scorned
I long to rupture in desire through the mirror I conspire

And flowers a painless enterprise
So tell me this
Am I worth thee?

I'd jump in the fire or a window if it's higher
I'd feel at peace if I was dead but not a neglected lover
Tell me while trespassing or smile or laugh
when I'm not looking, oh hello there my old friend, sorrow
Tell me sweet laden cloud
Do I hurt thee?

If I ask you the question
I have packed for departure
But I love you so, I won't ever leave
Not with your memories
But why was I caste aside?
Why me?

I'll be dead before I know it
For I believed you truly loved me
Still believe you but want me
I would never hurt thee

But tell me if you will
Do I hurt thee?

Wow....this reads like a song - you should add music to it!

Those questions we ask are often the most difficult in life.....why are we loved? Why, when we see so many imperfections, do some still risk loving us? Guess that is the beauty of love......:)

Indeed a song it is
A wish come true this review

Effective Prime,
Yes relationships are a process of figuring where the individuals involved fit in. It can be a crazy kind of crossword as expectations are met or not. life goes on and lessons are learned. This is a wonderful thing about life...........it is all about learning. I enjoyed the contrasting expression of emotion and experience within "Why me". Blessings Kathy

"I'd feel at peace if I was dead but not a neglected lover"

Brilliant...Did you ever reflect on how brilliance flickers in moments of pain? A consolation for us, poets.

'My tears have no emotion ~~ To you am I the One? ~~ Answer me oh lover ~~ Do I hurt thee? '

I'm reminded of ancient writings, expressive yet - to some extent, contorted because of core pain.

Tis love at its most beautiful and tragic. Its emotions stick shadow-like to a being's heart and mind. Seems your memories are still questioned, and, til the answers come, you're trapped.

Favorite line: My tears have no emotion - good stuff

[Effector Prime]

yes, a self-destruction pattern

I enjoyed this poem. Old fashion feel and questions.
"If I ask you the question
I have packed for departure
But I love you so, I won't ever leave
Not with your memories
But why was I caste aside?
Why me? "
I liked the lines above and the emotions shared in the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
