How Can You Love Me?

How Can You Love Me?

A Poem by Laura Ex

How can you love me
When I feel so worthless?
How can you love me
When I love you, love you not?
I pick you like a flower’s petals
Pluck, pluck, pluck, pluck
What’s best for me?
Suffocation via pillow
Pills, they can’t make it down
Not when I wrap this thought around my mouth
So nothing can make its way through
Sadly enough it also covers my ears
So your words do not even come close
Stubborn, obstinate, all of those words
I am, I am, I am
Objectified and helpless
You hold me at such high stakes
I’ll let you down
And you will never
Love me the same
