Love...
Love...

the source of my happiness,
the source of my pain

A drug that causes the highest of highs
While also causing the hardest crashes

I love it
I hate it
I cant decide how I feel about it

She confuses me
Or am I the one looking for complications

"You just afraid of commitment"
Well perhaps...

I'm afraid of being committed to the wrong one
I'm afraid of hurting again...
Placing my trust in someone
Just so they can shatter it in a moment

Love for those that are insecure is such an excruciating experience
I envy those that are secure
To be able to love without the fear of betrayal
To be able to set boundaries without the fear of being left alone

Yet I can't live without love
I prefer to be alone
Yet don't want to be alone

the source of my happiness,
the source of my pain

Love...

Loneliness
A saddened heart yet tears never flow...
A reflection of grey within one's soul

A feeling of longing, craving belonging
And a path unknown, warily traveled alone

As it takes a deep breath- a subtle sigh of despair
Yet a dewy flame- a voice that whispers with care...

A promise of comprehension & connection
A promise of acknowledgement & acceptance

"A place you could finally call home"

In response a silent scream- a cry for anger unheard
It clutches itself in pain unable to breathe

"It may hurt to walk the path alone...
but you never are truly alone

"Grey skies may cloud us,
... yet growth comes from the rain.
Regardless of what we face,
... memories of our loved ones still remain"
