Why Don't You Love Me

No matter how hard I had tried   
And the countless tears I had cried   
You didn’t care and my heart died   

When my love for you I would blurt   
You didn’t care how much it hurt   
It was an issue you would skirt   
 
The mental torture you dished out   
Let me know what you were about   
And now with me you have no clout   

You didn’t see my eyes were haunted   
‘Cause I never knew what you wanted   
This power over me you flaunted   

So I created this prison cell   
You and I both knowing good and well   
The reason for my self-imposed hell   

In all my life I just could not see   
Why is it this way; why must it be?  
Explain to me; why don’t you love me?  

The gifts and the wealth don’t mean anything   
The people you know don’t make you a king   
Only your love makes my broken heart sing   

My heart longs for your arm’s loving embrace    
As no one else can ever take your place   
Yet for your love you always make me chase   

In my heart you’ll always be number one
You just can’t fathom I love you a ton
Tell me father, how can’t you love your son?
