you don't know what love is

By eternal despair

when it began, it was too good to be true
i never thought we'd have a love like we do
you were perfect, it was great
thinking what brought us here was fate
the stars, of which i hold close, even agreed
you were exactly what i thought i would need

somehow over time you grew more cold
and these games to me became real old
some days you tell me I'm the perfect drug
and other times i cant even get a hug
i thought you were different, but your just the same
to you and everyone else, my heart is a game

you give me promises you'll never keep
and sometimes you make me feel so cheap
you think i can snap my fingers and not be mad
but lately this emotion is the only one ive had
what do u expect when u call me a whore
if thats how you feel, let me show you the door

i'm so sick of being interrogated everyday
i'm real tired of your controlling ways
and yet i let you do this shit to me
when all i really want is to be free
you've already taken my heart and broke it
but i give it back and still feel like shit

i don't know why i even bother to try
every guy i've met has made me cry
i can help but feel my love has been abused
when all i ever feel at night is used
i don't wanna be alone, but i cant be with you
and now i really don't know what to do

    Nice piece, the rhymes gives melody to the poem. Sound like you have been trying to be loved, but found some difficulties, don't give up. There's a boy that's bound to make you happy :) believe me
