I attempted to surrender my hope.
To allow it to decline at peace.
Along a patient, steep slope.
An anaesthetised release.

But it's eccentricity wouldn't quit.
I tried to reason, but believed i was fit.
Or close enough, to provide allure.
And that ego-trip, i indulged to endure.

Upon realizing my failure, I fade in and out.
Repititous dreams, ambling in doubt.
Fervent reminders of what she means to me.
Whilst discovering that we'll never be.

I don't love me,
I'm no liar.
So I understand . . .
Why you can't either.

I agree with EBM. We must love ourselves first before we can love and be loved by others. Nicely done.
