Finish line.

I loved you like I never felt the pain,
Cared deeply knowing I have little to gain.
It's not that you don't love,
You say you do. Promise to be better,
But you're unable. Can't see past self-blame.
Can't realize that you'll only be worthy of me,
By loving me more than you have, each day.
Aware of the matter, I try and erase your shame
To help you see the light that love can bring,
But like a pendulum, you sway. Somedays hopeful,
Others, immersed in the professional game.
My efforts have come to a still.
My passion and aggression now tamed.
I wish you the best, and the courage
To see past yourself and your company name,
As there might be someone desiring your love,
To help her ease the pain.
