(I Begged) And Love Said 'No'

I saw a guy
He was like an angel from above
I begged that he be mine
But, 'No', said Love

I questioned why
Love had said, 'No'
And let the man I had fallen for
Just get up and go

But I got no answer
Just silence instead
So I begged for Love
To leave me, dead

'Kill me', I begged
And Love said 'No'
“Bleed me to death
And let me go”

I stood on the edge of a cliff
And begged it to shove
But once again
'No', said Love

I stayed up
All night trying
To figure out
Why Love has left me crying

All I wanted was a man in my life,
This man named Joe.
All I wanted was him
And Love said, 'No'

This is very sad, but so often does it happen. Wanting that which we cannot have so desperately. I love the way you rhymed it, too. And adding the idea of begging...oh dear how I've been there before, too. It was such a lovely piece. Great job!
