You Fail to See

Inspiration: "In case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see, this is my heart, bleeding before you...." Foolish Games, Jewel

I don't think you realize 
 how strong
 how deep
 how painful
 how brilliant
My love is for you
The air I breathe is sweet because of you.
My blood flows quicker when you're near, and
My heart hurts when you're gone.
You are my drug and my one true addiction.
The light in my eyes shines for and because 
  of you,
And so do the tears.
When was the last time I cried for something
other than you? (so long ago I can't remember)
You're the reason for my joy and the fountain of my pain
You're all I want but can't have and I don't know what to do...
If I gave you my life, would that help?
Would it make you see?  It's yours.
I think I've always belonged to you, anyway.
