Unrequited for the Self

I want to love

I want to be in love

I want to not be loved

I want

I want

I want

I want to give

And give

And give

And give

And give

And give

But not receive

I want to kiss and not be kissed

I want to hold but not be held

I want to love yet not be loved back

I cannot be loved.

I need

I need someone

Someone to hold me

Someone to love me

Someone to need me

But I don’t deserve it.

No.

I never do.
