Unconditional


unconditional
is my love for you
my words lose their meaning
after so long being used
whispering in the night
expecting a response
an attempt to hush me up
I look away
try to brush off
the tears that come
to my red-rimmed eyes
when you are done
left there by myself
awaiting your return
television's mesmerizing glace
has you in it's grips
you don't even see
when I slip away into the dark
crawling to a corner
where you cannot see
not that you would look
holding myself
crying a better love song
that went so wrong
I make my return
you don't even look up
my head against your cold shoulder
holding on to
my fleeting glimpse of happiness
never knowing how to let go
never wanting to
you move away
always just out of reach
I cannot change this
no matter what I do
how hard I try
you never seem to care
just when things get bad
then you try to be there
but it's only a quick fix
a junkie needs more
I give all I can
never getting any in return
all the sacrifices
that I've made
all in vain
you don't even notice
Hollywood's smiling faces
reflecting off your eyes
mine are gazing at your face
waiting for you to realize
that you want to be there
for me too, unconditionally

This hurts me through and through just reading it, funny how life works this way.  All you do is try to show someone Love and content in just being in the same place in time with them, just to feel rejected by giving everything.  Learning where to draw the line is by far the most difficult thing to do, especially when the outcome is something you dont think will be in your favor... at the moment anyways.  Dont settle for anything less that you expect or deserve.  Ever.  {{{HUGZ}}}

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
