One-sided love

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that can ever love me. 
Sometimes, even I don't love me.
I catch on to all the wrong signals, all the wrong signs.
I can say that's nobody's fault but mine.
Then again, do I really care at all?
Does it really matter to me?
Yes.
I say I'm ok, I say I don't care, but I do care, I care a whole lot.
Sometimes, when I dream, I wish I'd just become a robot.
Bullets bounce right off me, hits don't leave a smudge. 
No negative emotions, I'd never hold a grudge. 
Although the walls that keep out, also lock in, the feelings I've tried to hide. 
They sting like poison, when kept for too long, the feelings I keep inside.
There's no way around it, no way above, that I sit alone with my 
One-sided love.

Replying to Ms. Evangeline Johnson. I don't really know what inspired me, to be honest I was just thinking about things and brought together this story of someone that loves too much, but doesn't quite get that love back.

Why

am I really the loser you say I am Am I really the one that needs to suffer How many times do I need to be sent away before you know it’s...
