Not Enough Effort

I try to love you,
I try to make you happy,
I want you to feel good, 
But you don't do the same.
You don't put in enough effort.
It's all me,
Making the moves,
Showing you love.
It's about your happiness,
But I am not happy.
I never feel your love.
I never get any love,
No compliments of my beauty,
No romance from you.
You don't show your love,
I want more,
But you make excuses,
Or you can't tell me how you feel,
You just can't,
Or you won't.
Sadly, it's not enough.
You don't try hard.
It's not enough effort...
