Why don't you want to read my poems?
Don't you understand
That you are disregarding
My very heart?

Why won't you let me
Show you my heart?

Do you know how it feels
To have offered you my hopeful little heart
And to meet with such indifference?
Outright rejection would have hurt a lot less.
It's as if I had called your attention to a funny skit on YouTube,
Or a bargain on HotUkDeals.

You would be more excited by either, I think.
That makes me want to curl into a ball
And cry.
It makes me want to die.
