Her Poetic Journey

•unrequitted•

i wish i could say
the words you want to hear
i wish i could be
the person that you see
i wish i could love you
the way you love me

i swear if i could-
i'd give the world to you
i promise you i would
help you make all
your dreams come true
but of all the things i can do
i know the only thing you see
is that i can't love you
the way you love me

you see the inner me
you've seen my flaws
yet i can't help but think,
they make you love me more
and with each breaking of your heart
it's tearing mine apart
for the deepest flaw i see
is i can't love you the way you love me

i can't love you the way you love me
i can't be a part
of what you want us to be
i can't promise you
the thing that you want the most
i can't love you the way you love me
