To love someone forever <br />Is too great to require. <br />For somewhere deep inside <br />Its you they never admire. <br /> <br />Some people have made it <br />With the one they really love. <br />But some people just don't <br />They get pushed and shoved. <br /> <br />You'll work for their attention <br />To have them by your side. <br />But the only time they want you <br />Is whenever they decide. <br /> <br />You can wait for a compliment <br />Until you're black and blue. <br />They'll say nice things of someone else <br />And live to criticize you. <br /> <br />They never really want you <br />Unless it makes them look good. <br />They'll give some undaunted reason <br />To convince you that you should. <br /> <br />Be what they want you to <br />Do what they tell you to do. <br />They serve you with mental anguish <br />And work the life out of you. <br /> <br />They seem never to get over <br />Whatever common childhood mess. <br />And it spills into their adulthood <br />To make your life regress. <br /> <br />They refer to other people <br />As rags upon the floor. <br />But treat them with high repect <br />The moment they hit their door. <br /> <br />They use them and abuse them <br />For whatever reasons they can. <br />And sadly never speak to them <br />Until their next command. <br /> <br />Coldhearted and careless <br />Their lives they never repent. <br />And because you can love and care <br />Its you that they resent. <br /> <br />Some love for many reasons <br />Some have no definite cause. <br />But to love someone without a heart <br />Hurts you the most of all.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hurt-of-forever-love/
