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

Ha! I believe this is true with
all couples, whether they
love each other or not.

I'm happy for you
whether he loves you
or not. At least you
put yourself out there.

I know the feeling... I wrote my first poems for a girl and it went in vain... I don't know why I had a crush on her... But your emotions were portrayed perfectly and beautifully... Great job...

*sigh* Oh, how I can relate to this poem so well.. it pulls my heart. This was so emotional and just straight forward. Love can be so... frightening isn't it? I know how it feels, very well I might add. This poem brings me back memories and reminds me of a guy I love but.. I'm not sure of his feelings now. I just love this poem!!! It has all my feelings in it.. =D Thank you for writing this! And don't give up on love. I know it can bring the worst pain when that guy doesn't answer or ignores you... but the guy may feel the same. Sometimes its the girl who has to take the first step, lol. Love will bring you happiness I'm sure when its that one guy who loves you just as much as you love him!

This was a great poem. Emotional and heartfelt. You poured out your soul. I'm just sorry I can't give you any advice. I'd just say that you have to listen to the thoughts of your heart tells you, not just the feelings. Hope I helped somewhat. :) Nice write.

The questions of love are a lifetime battle. Old famous song verse from the seventies. "Love is a battle ground". I believe when you are young. Must be careful. Heart is more tender. Love need to be treated like a garden. Cared for and treated with a tender touch to allow to grow to real love. Mistakes are what make us wiser. I like the desire of this poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

Oh, I've felt that way before and its really hard, but you either have to tell him or leave him because there's somebody else out there who doesn't want you wasting those emotions. I've learned from experience that it hurts less if you walk away. This was a beautiful heartfelt write that I'm sure many can relate to. Well done.

Your heart is laid bare in this piece, we feel and emotions swirl like smoke hard to controll so you will continue to yearn for this boy till you gain the controll needed. Good work Sarah :0)

an emotion is wasted if remain unexpressed.
