I guess you can say this has happened...
Ah well...ON WORD (<-hehe, get it?) MERRY FOLK!
==========

You say you love me
But the fire's barely burning
You say you want to fill my heart
But all I feel is the cold.
You say you'll be there for me
But all I see
Is emptiness that
Fills this cold
Inside of me.
I watch your lips
They move without a sound
Rather than looking into me
You stare at the ground.
Ashamed, you feel
When you're beside me
What have I done to make you feel
Like you're drowning in your own sea?
You think I deserve better
Maybe I do
But all I can do right now
Is tell you that I love you.
You ignore my pleas
Insisting you don't deserve me
I never knew how hurt and unwanted
I could be.
You say you'll never hurt me.
But all I feel is the pain.
Your words slap me in the face
It's a miracle I'm not insane.
I've become cold and silent
I hide behind a mask of illusion
You walk away, say you'll come back
But all I feel is confusion.
I might as well lay dead at your feet
And lie there cold on the ground
The emptiness eats away at me
While my body waits to be found.

Well done here Leah. I enjoy your poems.
Hope to see more!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

great feeling in this poem, i like the emotion a lot.  if i were to make one suggestion it would be to change awaits to waits because the last two lines are very powerful and you don't want to take anything away from the impact of those two lines.  just a suggestion though, i really like this piece, keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

I think "mine's well" is supposed to be "might as well," isn't it?     Maybe just a simple typo, or maybe one of those things we simply never learned until later in our lives (for some reason, don't worry I have a ton of those  ).
If you'd like a title, I think this is worthy of something long... maybe like "Being too good never felt so bad."  Heh... ok maybe not that but you get the idea.  
Great job on this poem... I'm sorry I haven't been around to get to know you as should I have but I promise I'll start here and continue onward now.
