How will I feel loved?

You said that it's wonderful to be in love.

You said that I should love you.

You have vowed to love me unconditionally.

I didn't realize that it would make me sad.

Is it love, or are you?

Are you the one who is making me sad?

I'm no longer joyful about it.

I mean the love we have.

I experience loneliness, sadness, and trauma.

I try to be joyful, and I keep trying.

But you continue to provoke me.

How will I feel loved?

How would you expect me to be happy?

I tried to make you happy.

I wanted to meet you halfway.

But you don't appear to notice my efforts.
