“I love you”
Words of joy; words of pain.
I offer you all I possess
as I feel the love within me well
and in return I get distress;
my soul condemned to live in hell.
How can this jewel, that is my heart,
be ignored and cast aside?
I die each time that we’re apart
and yet my feelings you deride.
Love has the power to heal all things
and so I’ll patiently wait for you
to realize the gift that my love brings:
an accepting heart that’s true.

I felt like this before, lots of times actually. it's sad though. what's even sadder is waiting for them to have time, and it never seems to come.. oops sorry, lost in thought.. happens sometimes.
excellent take on the prompt. I really enjoyed reading your poem.
good luck my lover
