This is a poem about someone I love who does not love me in return. We use to date and we had a really close relationship. He was my bestfriend and my love. But does not feel the same way. He told me this three days ago.
So love the one you are with now and never give up on love. Just be thankful for what you have and not just want more. Because I played with the devil and what I got in return was heartache.

Why Can't You See

My heart tries to stop loving you
How hard the task may be
My mind is willing
But my heart is not
Why can I not see
Your love is no longer there
That you are better off with someone else
But I don't want the pain to hit me quite yet
So I lie to myself and close my eyes
So I don't have to deal with life
What I would give to be yours
For your heart to love me once more
To have the happiness I once had
To hold my head up again
To be in your arms
To look in your eyes
To be so close without closing my eyes
So what I have left are just the dreams that
you and I made
That one day we would be together in Maine
So how we looked so far ahead and not for what was now
Our love failed the test and we have only
less then what we began with.
