Why Can'T I Be Dulcinea

Why can't I be Dulcinea?

I look and you don't see
I feel and you don't receive
I cry and you show no tenderness

I smile and you don't believe
I kiss and you don't respond
I touch and you don't yearn

But no…

No one sees the Dulcinea
No one feels my loneliness
No one dries my tears
No one smiles back
No one believes in the quest
No one wants the used

I'm still Aldonza...
