Heartbroken

How can I tell you what I want
when all it does is make you unhappy

I need someone who won't make me cry

I need someone who brings me up
not pulls me down

I cry - my tears are in pain

I wonder where I went so wrong,
what I did to deserve this

It's my fault though sometimes I don't know why

Am I too selfish? Too greedy?
What is it you don't understand?

Love you, I do; more than you know

Love me, you do; more than I deserve

Leave me, you should, for I seem to cause only pain

In the matters of the heart, the mind, the soul,
it comes down to one thing - Trust.
I wonder if it is something we can gain again.
