I Want You

How many times
can you have your
heart ripped out 
of your chest
is a question
I ponder day in 
and day out
everytime I think of you
I say "I am glad 
you are doing fine"
but in reality I wannna say
"I want you to cry
in agony every night"
I want you to feel like I feel
with pain so heavy
its excruciating to your heart
and you don't know if you
can survive another moment
I want you
to pray on your knees to God
asking him why
and begging for release 
from your pain
But in the end
I want you to be happy
no matter how much I
am in pain
because of you...
because I am not 
the kind of person
who would wish this kind
of heartbreak on anyone
too much compassion
and care even for those
who hurt me and who I hate
one day my emotions
and my heart are going to be 
my ending demise
