Why Me?

It is a about a love sick boy who can't get that girl he loves.

Please take this pain away

Put me out of my misery

I don't wanna feel grey

Tell me why don't you love me

I tried to be the best I could

Always trying to make you laugh

Appear to you like someone good

But for you I was never more than a friend 

I was always on your side

For many years this thing I tried

Never showed you but inside I cried

For you were dating some other guy

I tried to get over you

I never had many crushes

You are one of the few

And I couldn't get over you

Just smile cause that is the way

I wanna see you everyday

Even if those words I don't say

My heart speaks loud for you to hear

Why do you talk to me?

Because every time you do

I fall in deeper love with you

But you never really understood

Don't make the pit of love so deep

So deep that I cannot climb

For at night I don't sleep

And stare at the crying moon

I have nothing to give you but words

And my heart beats only for you

For I don't want to please the lords 

I just wanna please you

You never really understood what these words meant

You never really felt my love

Not so pure but at least true

I tried to give to you

Always thought of me as a friend

I ask you the question why?

I tried so much for you

Please give me a try!

I am not that bad, now am I

At least you can improve me

And while I write this I cry

But no tear drops from my eye

Please take this pain away

Put me out of my misery

I don't wanna feel grey

Tell me why don't you love me

It's hard to understand why somebody passes you by...even for a girl to understand why the guy she watches..looks her over and thinks nothing of it...been there. If she could read this she'd get the hint no doubt. Your question of "Why Me?" can't really be figured out unless you inquire to her as this poem would do in spades. You expressed yourself very well in my opinion and short of knocking her over the head with a pillow to get her attention you've hit the mark here. Your feelings are true and very clearly from your heart...where they should come from ...not your head. Heart first...head last. (brain makes to much sense when it comes to love...heart speaks...as yours does..with flow and gracefull meanings :) Thank you for sharing :)

The poem is full of heartbreaking lament for a love that could never be. Unrequited love is painful and going through it is tormenting but time heals all wounds and a new love comes to brighten life again. Mentioned here is the relationship of friendship where the one-sided love is settled and through the years it was a painful arrangement. Recovery from this dilemma can only be done with the Will - the will to choose not to be destroyed by this kind of feelings. To rise up one must choose to leave - asking the reason "why" one cannot be loved is a pointless state and will not help any. I like the poem for its honesty and vivid expression, and would suggest another title - perhaps with a tinge of hope for future loves.

When i read the description I thought of a younger boy but as i read he grew into a young man. He was desperate for the love of that girl and didn't know why she couldn't love him back. I also like the repetition of the first stanza at the end. It felt as if the poem had come full circle and nothing had changed.

Unrequited love is an evil demon. Been there and it's heartbreaking and bittersweet. Great expression of feelings here.

I like the way it was written i think sometimes that can be the coldest thing we can do to others is to be oblivious to how they feel maybe is best to take a chance but then again maybe its best to play it safe but eventually it will reach its climax you're feeling are very understandable take my earlier comment as you may

Oh wow, this is so heart tugging, so well written.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

this sounds so realistic...nice

[Angelstears]

This is pure poetry - beautifully expressive- and a sentiment that I think everyone has felt in some point in their life. I love the image you create of a pit of love that your desperatly trying to crawl out of.
I could read this over and over again.

That was beautiful! It is really great to see this from a guy's perspective. Normally, you do not know what the guy in the relationship is feeling. Awesome job.

[Angelic Surrender]

I really like this one. It's got a nice rhythm and the content is emotional. Good work :)
