You Do Not Love Me [Poem]
You Do Not Love Me
Loving you
is like attempting
to live on the sun
– never a happy ending.
Saw red flags waving
yet I ignored,
had a clear exit
but I blocked it out.
Been trying to get you to love me
the same way I love you,
giving you my all,
you must think I am a fool.
Last night,
the expression on your face
remained indifferent,
even as you were inside me.
I lie in bed with you,
upset, put hands
on your chest,
warmth escapes my palms.
My eyes glance at your face,
it is staring at the wall.
Now I know,
you are just a man
without a heart.

This is cool, I like the way the character accepts that there were warning signs that got ignored. it graduates from sadness to acceptance of the person who doesn't love.
Yes, thank you! We all first experience our feelings, but then we get to think and reflect of the thoughts and feelings of the other person as well.
