But That Night Never Comes



Each and every night I lay waiting for
you to hold me, kiss me, love me right.
But that night never comes.
Each night I stay awake crying wanting to hear that I'm your everlasting love.
But that night never comes.
I give you all my love, all my care and without even
trying, you put me in despair.
You get what you want. Why do I stay, why do I care;
Why do you believe this treatment if fair.
Some people find other to help wash away the pain.
For me, I'm just waiting for the rain.
But That Night Never Comes.

About this poem

I wrote this poem because I love, Love. I seems to not love me. I believe that there are people going through this in secret. Here is their voice.
