My Dead Life

I'm used to being hurt. By other 
people, and myself. Never by you. It 
hurts to know you
don't like me, but it kills me to know 
you hate me. I don't know why but I 
still love you.
Say what you want but we both 
know I would go to the end of the 
world to make you happy,
even if that includes me losing my 
self. The only way for my heart to cry 
is for me to bleed.
I don't bleed because you hate me. I 
bleed because, I know I can never 
have you.

A wonderful out-pour of emotion, Sara. It is good to know that there are still persons who would make any sacrifice to make someone else happy. Thank you and welcome to Poetrysoup!

Love can be the cruelest thing. The very thing you want may not be possible due to the other person's desires. Very strongly felt, nicely written.
