Why Couldn’t You Love Me

I opened up my heart, bared all my colors,

Pouring out trust like rivers, endless and deep.

Gave you my loyalty, my time, my forever,

But you turned away, left me to weep.

Was I not enough? Were my words too loud?

Did I miss the signs, miss the moment somehow?

Caught in this silence, questioning my love,

Why couldn’t you see, what I was dreaming of?

Why couldn’t you love me? I gave you my all,

Built my world around you, answered your every call.

Was it not enough? Or was I chasing shadows?

Why couldn’t you love me? Left in the echoes hollow.

Every minute, every day, I waited in silence,

Holding onto hope, refusing to let go.

But your heart was distant, shadows of compliance,

And I was lost in a love I didn't even know.

Was I not enough? Were my tears too loud?

Did I miss the signs, miss the moment somehow?

Lost in this loneliness, trying to understand,

Why you slipped away, like grains of sand.

Why couldn’t you love me? I gave you my all,

Built my world around you, answered your every call.

Was it not enough? Or was I chasing shadows?

Why couldn’t you love me? Left in the echoes hollow.

Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was blind,

To the cold truth, to the love I couldn't find.

But I’ll rise from these ashes, learn how to stand,

Find my peace, my strength, my own guiding hand.

Why couldn’t you love me? No more tears to fall,

I’ll rebuild my heart, answer to my own call.

Though it hurts to remember what we couldn’t be,

I’ll choose to move on, to set my love free.
