This Isn't Love Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

This Isn't Love



I want to know of the reasons why
Day and nights would have me cry
What you have done
Who you've become
It took a lot of strength to open my heart
After all the years, pain torn me apart
You know you've messed up
You said you have done wrong
I knew it, I have felt it all along
Have you found love in another?
You no longer hold me like you use to
When all I want is to be with only you
I found emptiness in your eyes
and still believed in those lies
Everything you could have asked for
Anything you wanted, I gave to you
And this is the price I've paid?
When love shouldn't cost a thing
that's the thing, this isn't love
Love shouldn't amount to zero
When you're putting in one hundred percent
my heart was the shelter where you paid the rent
but I can see now just how much I have meant
I shouldn't have loved you so much
i would never love this way again
Whatever this is has to now end
