Why? Poem by Eric Pennington

Why do things have to be so hard on me?
I take things a lot harder than it should be.
I've put on a face as though all is well.
But really, my life has been hell.
My heart is fragile and sometimes weak.
This is because I'll never find the girl in whom I seek.
I pray for days on end for the one to be sent,
But it seems that nothing works, time wrongly spent.
I see everyone around me happy and in love.
Why can't I have this? Why can't I be loved?
What did I do to deserve this 'curse'?
It's as though my love life is stuck in reverse.
When will I be able to be happy and in love?
When will you send me an angel from above?
I pray Lord that you will send her quick.
Send the one, don't make me pick.
I've had enough failures in my life,
breaking my heart again will only cause strife.
I've had my heart broken enough,
By now, you'd think it'd be tough.
But it is still the same,
The same as it's always been.
I've been lied to too many times to deserve this,
All I want is someone to hold, love and kiss.
