How To Love


Why don't they want me?

Is it because I was a mistake?

I wish I could change the way I am so that they could at least love me.

I'm running out of words to say so I remain speechless at times and just let my thoughts flow as my tears flow.

If you could unmake me, would you?

You will say no but I kept you from living your life and pursuing your dreams.

I just keep thinking maybe you might love me someday even if it's not today.

Can you say that you love me once and mean it?

My heart has been empty and mistreated because I have no one to teach me how to love.
