You Do Not Love Me

Loving you
is like attempting
to live on the sun
– never a happy ending.

Saw red flags waving
yet I ignored,
had a clear exit
but I blocked it out.

Been trying to get you to love me
the same way I love you,
giving you my all,
you must think I am a fool.

Last night,
the expression on your face
remained indifferent,
even as you were inside me.

I lie in bed with you,
upset, put hands
on your chest,
warmth escapes my palms.

My eyes glance at your face,
it is staring at the wall.

Now I know,
you are just a man
without a heart.
