Love Poem: RUNDOWN

RUNDOWN

Never once a thank you.
Not one time was I told; I've done good.
Did I ever get a compliment?
Or compensation like I should.

At no time have u even,
Stopped to tell me it'll be ok.
You've yet to hold me while I cry;
And wipe my tears away.

Love doesn't last forever.
If neither fans passion's flames.
The fire burns out quietly.
Leaving only the ashes that remain.

What I did, I did for love.
I had no expectations.
Just a pat on my back would've healed it all,
Instead, I got condemnation.
