Love Sick

by Kelsi Mickelson
(Iowa)

I cry because I miss you,
But it's not like you care.
To me you were everything,
To you I was just a dare.
You played me, betrayed me
And even said you loved me too.
I gave you everything I had,
But it wasn't enough for you.
You took my heart with,
When you went away.
All I had asked,
Is for you to stay.
Three years have passed,
Oh it seems like so long.
But I have finally learned,
To love you must be strong.
