Why Do You Love Me? Poem by Maggie Paige

Why?

Why do you love me?

I’ve screamed, cried and caused you bodily and mental pain

Why do you love me?

I don’t deserve it, I’m nothing special

Why do you love me?

Is it because you know I love you?

Is it because you know I’m broken?

Is it because you can see ME?

Do you know me?

I need you to love me as selfish as that may be

I love you I may tell you that a thousand times

It will never be enough

For the rest of my life I will love you

So I swear

I will make myself worthy of your love

I love you
