Listen to poem:
Why won’t you love me
When I would die for you
You are my world yet you turn your back
My tears mean nothing to you
I look in the mirror and see but the shell of a woman
Reduced to living at your every whim
I live for your apologies and changes of heart
You’d love me not to love you so much
It’s exactly this dependence you abhor
It’s my weakness you despise
Yet how do I turn the clock or just pretend
How do I step back and give you freedom
How do I cure myself of you
I dream of a role reversal where you
Chase me to the ends of the world
And die for a kiss from my lips
Till then I need to do what I must
Let my heart recuperate
And set you free
*Inspired by Cilla Black’s song ‘Anyone who had a heart’
