Tired Of Asking Poem by Jeremy Willson

I'm tired of asking for love ya know
Love is suppose to be like two flowers that grow
They grow together and not apart
Because to them their life is nothing more than art
It's something beautiful and wonderous yet short
It's best to be lived with someone who supports them
They make it stronger at it's stem
And will protect the foundation of their roots
Not kick dust on them with their boots
So I am done with asking, if it happens let it be so
I'd be more than happy to give it another go
But I won't plead or beg to be nurtured or cared for
Love has to be something more
More than just feeling like your giving it your all, and they're not
More than just taking your mind off it by smoking pot
It's fun to do that with someone but only if they want you there
It's not fun if they're reluctant to share
But I guess it's cool since we're not together like that
Even with all that time spent getting to know each other I still get a slap
Cause I'm the bad guy, I didn't try and change? Yeah right
Now all I get is her spite
That's why it's hard to trust in what we feel
Feelings can be taken off like a banana peel
Is wanting someone's love not enough? They can't find me?
I want to call someone my baby
But I still won't ask them to be my girl, I just can't
I'm so scared of rejection, like I'll fall on the floor face flat
Which sucks cause I used to be so confident
I was a ladies man, now my emotional capabilities are spent
No one would want me if they knew how damaged I really was
And this is what love does?
I'm not sure but I'm still trying to figure it out
If you figure it out before me give me a shout
