Love is hard
but worth it to me,
I'm sorry you don't
feel that we can be.
If you truly meant it,
you would fight...
even if not right now,
continue the war another night.
I know you had to give up,
I just thought I was worth it;
Apparently I was dead wrong.
We can never rebirth this.
I really do love you
with all of my heart.
That's the reason you own it;
from you it will never part.
I gave you my absolute
and it's still not enough,
for you to hold onto me
even when times get tough.
I apologize for being the best
but the wrong religion and race.
I hope your parents stay happy
that you got rid of me; the disgrace.
I did so much for you
forgave and took you back,
even when you cheated me...
I never wanted you to pack.
Any other guy I know
would have left your ass dry,
But I couldn't I love you so;
without you I sigh and cry.
I'm always gonna wish
that we will be together.
I need you by my side
always and forever.
You used to love me so
but I question it today,
I gave you everything you wanted
but then you'd push me away.
I went through so much for you
and I realise it doesn't matter,
I'm sorry I wasn't worth the work
now my emotion is scattered.
You told me you wanted me
to take your innocence from you,
I can't get that out of my head
you're the only one I'd succumb to.
I still think your worth it
even if you don't think I am,
you'll always be my angel
even when you find another man.
I hope he treats you good
but I know he's not like me
at the age of nineteen,
I dreamed you'd be my wife to be...
When it comes to you
I never give up, never quit.
Thank your parents for
showing me I ain't worth shit.
Author notes
Love is worth fighting for...giving your all...even if not at this point in time, maybe somewhere down the road when you really need it...but it's either me or her family...and even when she has her own life, I still won't be worth it...
Today I realised...she doesn't need me...and that I'm not worth enough...even though I did so many things that others don't even know how to do...even when I wasn't treated good at all by her...I still loved her...and still do...I don't know what more she wants from a guy...because there is nothing more...
I stuck around during the worst year of my life...she can't even find a better friend than me...but a friend is all I am...all I am...
People out there...don't make the same mistake as me...don't think others love you back by saying it...make sure they show it and prove it...
I did my part...I told her...I showed her...I proved to her...but it's not enough...and I'm not worth having it done back...thank you parents...thank you for everything...
I have no value...because the only one that can show me what I'm worth...can't...
A roll of pennies...has more value to her parents than me...they don't know how good I've been to their daughter...how much I've been through for her...all the pain I've suffered with her now and in my past...they don't care about me...frankly today...I don't really care about myself either...

you need to find someone to show you that you are with so much more than this

even just reading your AN...sounds horrible...sounds like she's selfish...doesn't deserve you at all...i noticed through the poem there was a lot of "you did this...but its ok"...maybe you're too generous with her..
i like the rhyming though...it works out really well. great job -
*Whistles* Tough brake, man.
By the way?
That background is so totally Killswitch Engage.
