Love Poem: Why

Why

Why can't you see
that I'm trying to be
who I was meant to be?
And when it comes to me
I'm filled with agony.
I'm trying to wonder why
it's so hard to try
to go by
in this world all alone
and it makes my mind blown
by how hard life is on my own.
As I'm trying my best
to be above the rest
as I feel so low
and have nowhere to go.
It's tough out here
when you don't have a ear
to listen to you and be a dear friend in need
and forgetting all the greed.
My life is punching me in the face
and pushing me within a darkened place
and my love feeling like a waste.
But I can tell that's not me talking
as I'm walking
and stalking
to keep myself at bay
as I'm trying to find the words to say
and go by each and everyday.
I feel so sad
and making myself mad
by how bad I am to hurt you
and I don't know what to do
because I love you
and the pain is so true.
Why can't I move forward
and head toward
what's right in front of me
and be happy?
I want to apologize
for all the lies
and things I've done
and make my feelings one
with you,
that's what I wanna do
just for you.
Why won't you listen to my heart?
When we're apart
I feel so broken inside
as I'm trying to strive
with this life of mine.
I'll take my time with what I do
as I'm going through
this pain I feel
as I try to deal.
