LOVE ME, LOVE ME NOT

When the honeymoon period is over.

To be alone

With hopes and possibilities.

Or to be with

But still alone.

You want me

But ignore me.

To be for another

Never will I be.

I stand always beside you

But am invisible.

I speak

But am not heard.

You real me in with promises

Yet discard them with every ale.

Beside you

I fade, I pale.

You show me no love

The flame within your fire, gone out.

Please ignite us once more 

Or set me free, let go, I shout.

Into the shadows

I patiently wait.

For you to once again want

But will it be too late?
