She Doesn't Love Me
I look at her
We are sweaty and I don’t smile
I don’t even want to
Then she cries
She says she is sorry for loving him
She doesn’t love me the way I love her
Then I cry because she is crying
I cry because she doesn’t love me
Why can’t she?
She loves him, but he doesn’t love her
He is cruel
He cheats
She knows this and then she cries harder because she knows this
She cries harder because I am good
but she can’t ever see me more than that
I cry harder because she is hurt
I hurt her and he hurts her
Then she turns on me and we kiss
Then we do it all over again
After, she closes the space between us this time
She still looks away
It still hurts so much
It hurts the both of us
because we know that we are hurting each other and ourselves
But then again this is our daily routine
And I will do it as long as she wants me to
because one day she might love me like she loves him
and I will always love her
But… then again I might no longer love her and she will start to love me
Then we will be hurting all over again for different reasons
