Tell Me Why Poem by Maya Reid

I can see that you’re depressed
So I go to you
And hold you tight
And tell you that I love you
As a friend, of course
At least, so you think
If only you knew
How I wish I could comfort you
In a different way
How I long to kiss your tears away
But you don’t feel the same
How could you?
I’m your best friend, nothing more
And even though we’re so similar
In our personalities, at least
She is the one your heart longs for
And when I have brushed away your tears
With my hands, not with my lips
You tell me how thankful you are
That I am part of your life
You say that you love me
You say it’s impossible not to
And yet you don’t
At least, not the same way I love you
You don’t look at me
Like you gaze at her
What makes her so goddamn special?
Why does your heart choose her over me?
She doesn’t even want you
You haven’t changed her life
She won’t give herself to you
Like I’ve already done
She doesn’t treat you
Like you deserve to be treated
And still you look right past
My wide open heart
How can you look so deep into my soul
Without seeing the truth?
Are you so blind?
Or do you just refuse to see?
Do you just refuse to love me?
You swore that
For all your life
You’d try to make me happy
So why is my love invisible?
Why aren’t I good enough?
Why is hers the name
Always on the tip of your tounge?
Tell me
Why are you my everything
Except the one thing
I truly want you to be?
My hand fits yours
The small of your back
Is the perfect resting place
For my head
You make my very soul rejoice
So can someone please explain
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
Don’t you love me?
