Love Doesn'T Love Me

Love doesn't love me, 
my life is proof enough.
Full of pain, heartache, betrayal, and violation.
Love doesn't love me; 
my life seems empty, 
while others drink of love, 
drunk by its pleasant taste yet bitter sting.
I die unwillingly.

Love doesn't love me, 
why should I die alone?
What have I done that bears
such weird, wicked punishment
by not being embraced?
