Love and Affection

I came to you with my heart true of love and affection,
opening myself completely,
still unable to make this love a connection.
I believe the way that I feel, it’s all a joke to you,
because when I try to talk,
laughing is all you seem to do.
I don’t think you want a love, as true as what I have in my heart,
trying to make this right for us,
and being rejected from the start.
Though you said you loved me, and that you wanted us to be,
this relationship isn’t what you want,
and you can’t handle the love I have within me.
