Relentless Lover

A hopeless romantic..
with pieces of a heart.
I’m licking wounds  
from past affairs..
Still I want a new start.
My fight for love  
in this cold world,
has been a heart-breaking tale.  
So many attempts
so little success.  
Still pushing to love,  
with a heart so frail.  
I wonder  
if my love is even love anymore.
It’s been twisted and misused  
for selfish reasons  
and more.
I wonder if it’s still as potent,  
Or if it’s watered down.  
I’ve given to the most undeserving..
Mostly by the pound.
I haven’t given up.
Love, you haven’t seen the last of me.
The next time u come,  
I won’t accept defeat.  
I wont let you leave.  
I won’t walk away.  
You’ll see what you missed at first  
and beg me to stay.
I won’t be resentful  
or let pride get in the way.  
For I’ve prayed that my love  
will love me back someday.
