How Dare You

How Dare You

A Poem by jay-lyse

Roses are red
Violets are blue
How dare you say I never loved you

I given everything I have inside
I've tried my very best to please you, satisfy you, love you

I disconnected my heart from my pride
Simply because you asked me to

All your lies, excuses, disappointments
I've forgotten, ignored or pretended they never existed
I did all this just to prolong this "thing" we share

Roses are red
Violets are blue

How dare you say I never cared for you

I voluntarily released all the secrets I kept inside because of you
I wanted you to finally see me, accept me ...  the real me

I happily ignored that little voice inside
That constantly yelled at me

It furiously urged me not to get attached
Perpetually yelling, "This is not a fairytale, there's no happy ending involved"
And yet I just couldn't leave you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
How dare you not claim any of the blame

After all those nights I let you back in
After all those nights where I couldn't understand why my heart still clunged to you

I put all the pain you caused behind us
I released all the anger you created from inside of me

I loved, cared and tried
And yet it seems like it was never enough
You'll always want more
   More nights of tears
   More seconds of confusion and doubts
And part of me is truly willing to suffer further just to please you
But the other of me is a little more reluctant
It's not so naive as it used to be, it knows what's best

Roses are red
Violets are blue
How dare I not be enough to satisfy you
