Why do you make me feel this way?

As if my pain fuels your every word.

Tears fall, a silent plea,

And here we are, drowning in the same cycle again.

This never-ending maze we’ve built,

And I keep walking,

Hoping this time, you’ll let me out.

Why do I keep allowing this to unfold?

How can I trust,

When all my faith has been shattered before?

I long for it—

The one thing I’ve dreamed of for so long:

For you to see me,

To stop hurting me,

And, just once,

Start loving me.

Is that too much to ask?
