Bitter Tears

I cry bitterly
Wasting my tears
On someone as undeserving
As you.
You've taken my love
For granted
One too many times
Always expecting me
To be the strong one
Waiting for you
To grant me a moment
Of your precious time
You've broken my heart
Dozens of times
And I've let you
Because I've been blinded
By the love
I thought we both shared
You break my heart
Even now
Knowing that you love me still
If only in your own selfish ways.
