Sometimes when you hold my hand,
I get a warm feeling deep down inside,
But
Not the way I do for her.
I don’t lie awake at night, thinking of you, or us.
But
I do for her.
I don’t sacrifice anything for you, and never have,
But
I do for her.
I don’t get butterflies in my stomach just looking at your picture,
But
I do for her.
I don’t become the real true brilliant me around you,
But
I do for her.
I don’t cry while writing  about my love for you,
But
I do for her.
But when I’m weeping and the lights are dimmed, she doesn’t care,
But
You do.
And when I desperately need to talk, she doesn’t answer the phone,
But
You do.
I only wish I felt for you, the way
I do for her.

I just think only you should change the title to
I do for her.

But pretty good poem, it fit together and I liked it.

i'm not sure what to say to this, if i was the girl that understood this would be a harsh poem but also it seems serene and truthful maybe a mix of all three
