Begging For Love Poem by Randy McClave

I once begged someone to love me
The way that I truly loved them,
Then there came my wants and my plea
And then they told me with a smile, it was just a whim.
I gave them all that I had
I did what they ever wanted me to do,
Just to make them happy, made me feel glad
And I always said, "I Love You".
When they needed anything I was always there
They gave me the main reason to arise everyday,
Truly I believed we made the perfect pair
In every known way.
I wanted us together to hear the bird's sing
I begged them to be my only one,
Now I realized that was the saddest thing
Begging to be loved is the worst thing that I have ever done.
