Wasted Love

I still love you.
I love you even though you love her.
You love her because she loves life,
And I hate it.
You know I hate it.
And you know why.
I have attempted before
To rid myself of this thing
That she loves so much.
You were there each time,
You protected me,
You kept me alive.
I used to love life,
I did.
The one you love is me,
Before I hated my life.
When I loved it enough to
Love myself, too.
