Tell me something

Why love you?
You are just going to leave
Why care?
You probably only see me as a nice face

Why bother?
I'm nothing special
Why try?
I will just waste my time and emotion

Are these feelings pointless?
I just don't know
I can't tell when you look at me
You don't show me what i'm looking for

Tell me something?
If you loved me back
Would you tell me?
Or are we both just two fools

Waiting for the other
To say the truth
That just lingers between us
Are we just two people afraid of rejection?

Am I wasting my time with these feelings?
With these emotions?
Do I wear my heart on my sleeve for nothing?
All I want to know is

Do you care......?

Author's Note

I feel like I am wasting my emotions on a guy who simply doesn't like me or is too afraid to tell me

Its your practice , even in love you need to have experiances , even if for now its one sided , it doesnt matter , its your heart that deal with the emotions , its your soul that learn to accept love , or accept rejection , all that when it will be real , when the right one will come , you will be ready ... its not a waste of time , look at it diffrently, its your pratice and its a phase you need to pass and learn

this has power and sadness to it

I think this can be said for a lot of people. Rejection can be a really difficult thing to deal with. It just depends on how different people are able to cope with it. It's not a nice feeling, being rejected. It's hurtful, lonely, and depressing. I've been there many times myself, and I still am afraid of being rejected. I hate to admit it, but it's true. It gets a little tedious. But it was nice little poem that a lot of people can read, understand, and relate too. Wonderfully put together and fluent

I know this feeling all too well. I'm sorry you feel this way, but, in time things will start to unfold. This is a great write.

Great way to express your emotions. Nice write!

good subject....but don't waste your time if he shows nothing back...If he does a tiny thing that proves that he cares but simply can't show it, then hang on. Maybe it's all he knows :-(
p.s. Should be 'wear' (heart on sleeve line).

Thanks dear Sarah for share

well said...and i love the way you so successfully convey the anxiety, apathy and hint of disdain.

You are learning about the game of love. This poem lays it out nicely in a balanced way. And you will meet someone to sweep you off your feet:)
