long ago i asked him how he felt about me

he told me he didn't know

i asked him if he loved me

he paused and said,

"No, I don't think so."

i felt so much pain

no amount of words could describe

all my wasted years i counted

from one to five

all my wasted tears i shouted

had his love always been a lie?

resentment seeped deep into my soul

one day, one day i promised

he would know
