Why You Won't Let Me Love You

Everyday I Pray that you see what a Beautiful person I am.
A woman,
a mother,
your friend.
Still
you hold Truth
to the bitterness,
jagged darkness
in your Heart towards me.
I don't understand and to be honest,
I'm tired of trying to figure out 'why'
Long before now, I blamed myself
for your actions,
when in reality
you aren't happy with yourself.
Your hatred and disrespect
is a reflection of how you really
feel about 'You'
I still try to hold on
by a mere thread
that has been coming loose
by the seams...
a long time now.
I'm not angry anymore,
nor am I hurt,
but my Flesh
feels sorry for you, because
after all is said and done.
You still don't get it, and
I have gotten my answer
within this Poem...of
Why You Won't Let Me...
Love You
-
you don't Love yourself.

Left, with what I thought was Nothing,
is the beginning of something

Left with what I thought was nothing....

In a list

I use Art of many styles of which I do not claim as my own. I do claim my personal photos that I use often. Presentation is Everything to me.

    Hey!!! I really liked the end of this poem. That you were able to answer the question. And I love this line: I still try to hold on
    by a mere thread that has been coming loose by the seams...You still got it!

    ......

    yes. I am so glad you are seeing clearer and that you realize this, one can't be happy and love, if they can't love themselves and be happy with themselves first.
    this is a raw emotional honest write...
    thanks for sharing, reading this lets me know you are STRONG
    and you will get what you deserve when you're ready
    much luv miss diva

    : O wow.

    ...i loved this write. once i saw the picture i was like alright i have to read it. and lucky for me it wasn't a burden. i loved every second the way it flowed. and i just love how it was simple but yet so much. something i could picture being performed on def jam poetry. just loved everything about it and the strong voice i pictured saying it.

    well done. i look forward to reading more of your writes.

    Wow this poem is really deep and truly comes from the heart. I understand everything because I have the same feelings as well. I think this was my most absolute favorite part!

    "Long before now, I blamed myself
    for your actions,
    when in reality
    you aren't happy with yourself."

    I am sorry that your going through this...
    you seem like a wonderful person and you deserve your happiness and you shouldn't let anyone come between you and anything else.
    Great write though!
    --take a look at my new ones. (:

    Sensational

    This is a very heartfelt poem. I know this feeling well. It is sad, because no matter how much you want another person to feel a certain way about you, you can only control yourself. You are beautiful, glamorous, talented and well worth happiness. Don't let a man come between that unless he's damn worth it and if he is, he'll never stand in the way of you feeling important to him or your own life.

    Excellent!

    A poignant piece that gives concrete reasons
    to let go and start anew. I've gone through something
    similar to what you describe. Blaming myself for the failures
    and misery of those who are incapable of loving someone
    because as you say,"they don't love themselves."

    Life never promised us a bed of roses as the saying goes.
    It's hard to dismiss all the blood sweat and tears you put
    into a relationship over so many years.
    The fact still remains, we must love ourselves first and
    foremost. Maybe it's time to turn the page and start
    a new chapter in your life. Otherwise you keep rewriting
    the same old stale and unproductive outcome.

    Brilliant poem with a lot of heart. "Keep your head up darling."
    Love you,darell
