breed

Did you ever feel like you were
going the wrong way,
on a one way street,

giving all your love
and feeling little in return?

Does not love breed love,
for hate breeds hate, I've heard.

To be loved enough,
there was a time I know,

the love was there,
in a quantity of enough
and so much more.

Two way street,
loving and loved,
immeasurably,
this two worthy. 

I could feel it
and knew,

so where did that feeling
go?

This, I need to 
know.

Does she love me true?

or does she love me
only just enough

to keep me
hanging on?

and if so,
should I be gone?

for I feel like her heart
has already left the building.

Is there hope,
in the most hopeless situations,

for this greatest of
hopers,

hoping in pain and vain?
