My Right

By Lil Demon Lady

It is my right to love you, 
You don't have to love me,
Or feel guilty about my love. 
It is my right to care for you, 
It is my right to be happy when you are around, 
To be sad when you are far, 
To desire you and need you. 
You shouldn't feel bad about not loving me, 
Its my choice, its alright, 
If I hurt because of my love for you, 
That...Is...My...Right...

    Not a pleasant thing to go through. Stuck in a loop where you hope one day that they end up feeling the same about you. Good write.

    No, its not quite like that, I was and am ok with someone not feeling the same way about me. Yes it hurts sometimes, but that feeling of love is beautiful.

It was enough just being around, seeing his face change, hearing his voice, looking straight into his eyes, I was in heaven when we talked! I never asked for anything more. This might be unusual, but the love I carried in my heart brought me joy, not consummating it.

    Exactly, When there is someone you love, it makes the world much brighter, even if they don't love you back. I'm happy around someone I love, doesn't matter if they feel the same. ♥

    oh man, lift that chin up, stand tall. i think its honorable to be so loyal. but i think if this is a lover or other. well, its a two way street. this sounds like a taker, a taker of kindness. now i know you have a big heart and your poem clearly says so. we need love and nourishment. it seems pretty heartless to ignore your precious heart when its giving. very nice poem, raw and deep, just the way i like it. awesome!

    We can't help it if we fall in love with someone who doesn't love us back, nor is it their fault they can't love us. It happens and I've never regretted any love i've had, I've learned something from each of them, even the bad ones.
