Love Me Like You Mean It

I won’t settle for a life That’s mediocre Life’s too short for that I’ve loved you and Given you my heart And gotten not much back I’ve waited patiently but You don’t love me anywhere As much as I love you Each day a new disappointment A reminder that you don’t love me Half as much as I love you It hurts but I’m setting you free All I wanted was for you To love me like you mean it It will hurt to live without you But it hurts more to know That you won’t and can’t Love me like you mean it AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on February 17, 2020 for contest N-A RERUN 5 sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON and on December 1, 2019 for contest LOVE ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT sponsored by JULIE LEIGH RODEHEAVER - NA judged on January 20, 2020

Wow! They say art imitates life, and this looks like it hurts.

Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment, Robert. Happy to say it doesn't reflect what's currently going on in my life.

Some can never love, as we need. Some never know what love is at all. Some lose it, and some just don't care. Prayers for your days. You are such a wonderful poet. God give you a miraculous life. Ann
