there

there

i do not think
you should be able
to sing
a crowd
a vulnerable heart
a love song
if you yourself cannot express 
love

it is all my own
delusion
how my chest
gets tight
my eyes well up
when songs you wrote
come on


surely you will never feel
the uncontrollable
butterflies i do
and maybe never have
but what you say cannot 
come
from nothing
another girl still holds 
your heart
an act of spite held over
my head


one sided affection
one way road
of unimaginable care 
devotion

no matter how many times
your silence tries to turn me
away
i am still here
