Reciprocated

Time and time again I wear my heart on my sleeves
cupid shoots it's arrow again but it's never at me
I fall so fast, it doesn't last 
I'm left to cry and wonder why it always happens this way
Are they some how immune to loving me?
I walk this earth alone again
each day feels like I'm being punished for something
I grow numb inside and my heart starts to feel tired
It wasn't supposed to happen this way
why do they never reciprocate my feelings?
All this time alone isn't doing any healing
When will my chance finally come along?
I hide the pain so well I've almost convinced 
myself that love isn't everything. 
But it is everything at least to me.
