Do I love?

by Danielle Ernst

But when he came to me
On a Van Gogh starry night
Did he know that all I ever wanted
Was to make him happy
Do I love?
I do.
Silence instigates anger
And anger is all he knows
Mysteries are frustrating
And love is one of those
He would never call me angel
He would never give it all for me
But,
Do I love?
I do.
I only wanted
To be kind
To be loved
To be praised
To be appreciated
And this is what I get
for loving him
Do I love?
I do.
