Love Poem: Never Before

Never Before

I want to be loved.
I want to be adored.
I want to be everything
I've never been before.

I want to be complimented,
instead of criticized.
I want to see the look of love,
reflected in their eyes.

I want to be shown off,
not a secret that they keep.
I want to have meaningful conversations, 
that are intimate and deep.

I want to be cherished.
I want to be respected.
Instead of being treated like garbage
and my feelings being neglected.

I really want to be treated, 
like I've never been treated before.
I want to be treated human, 
and not like a piece of crap anymore.
