Love Need Want


why don't you love me?

why don't you want me?

I've made myself

so easy to love to want

I bear my heart

struggle to smile through

every painful day

every painful memory

of what I did for love

I want I need

I love I help I ask I care

but you don't care enough to care

I'm full of love

I love whether I want to or not

I love

like a busted fire hydrant 

on a hot humid summer day

bursting with love

I make myself so damn easy to love

Why don't you love me?
