Why does it feel wrong?

I love you, thought my voice can't find the way.
Trapped in this silence with so much to say.
It's agony living, knowing you'll never see.
The depths of my longing, the love meant to be.

Each glance, each moment, your smile a light.
But when it fades, I'm swallowed by night.
Unworthy, I feel, beneath your cold gaze.
A sign of hope lost in endless haze.
Your indifference cuts deeper than a knife.
You wield a power that ruins my life.

I tried to push you away, to pretend I don't care.
Acting so harshly, as if I'm unaware.
I thought if you hated me, I'd feel less pain.
But disappointment in your eyes drives me insane.

I rage at the world, my fists hit the wall.
Weeping in gloom, feeling so small.
You make me feel worthless, a shadow of shame.
Crying into my pillow, forgetting my name.

Just one word from you, could shatter the night.
To lift me from darkness, to show me the light.
Is it too much to ask, a gesture so small?
Does loving me require a mountain to fall?

Should I give up hope, let despair take the lead.
Or fight for the love, that I fear I might need.
If you never love me, will I find my own way?
Or is this my end, as I fade into gray?

This battle within me, a struggle for breath.
Deciding if living is worth facing death.
