He only wants one thing from me.
My sense of pride and self esteem
Will leave if I make the choice to
Let him do as he pleases get what he wants.
This decision is killing me.
Not knowing what I should do,
I love him more then anyone,
Yet he doesn't love me back.
Hopeful that one day he will realize
“I really do love her; I was wrong for using her”
I’m living my life in false hope,
Dreaming of something I’ll never get.
I need to wake up from this dream
And realize nothing is going to change
He will never magically fall in love with me,
Never want me for anything more then what he gets.
But I give in to him every time, knowing
He is only using me to get what he wants,
I need to stop letting him use me, but
I love him and I’d rather some part of him,
Then no part at all.

So sad
This happens so often. Men are pigs and I am a man, but I have learned that we need the other to make our lives worth while. I wish that other men could understand, but I know only a few will ever get the message. This is a great write and message. Good luck in the contest and in life, The Shaker

That broke my heart to read. I was probably in the same situation as you, about half a year ago. Stop before you get anymore hurt. Still a good write, and I wish you the best!

oh, man
I'm in something of the same spot...except I honestly don't know if mine would use me. I'd like to think he wouldn't, but I'd rather have something than nothing. Try reading my poem, "Unrequited Love". I wish you all the best.
