POETRY

Love Me

I find it hard to let you love me when I can't seem to love myself
My words are a jumble and my sentences puzzling
I expect a conversational riddle from a dream I hope to forget
How are we to love each other when our hearts belong to others
I tried my hardest to lend it to you, but I just couldn't find it
I hope you are not mad
For I have lost my heart, and it belongs to someone else now
