Love hurts
I cry my heart out, feel alone in the world.
All because of love.

I long for a friend, a warm hug to go to.
It is scarce.

Prayers are my consolation,
But even those don't help all the time.

Love hurts.

That empty feeling you get when
The person you think you love ignores you.

That empty feeling you get when
You think about that person, even though you don't want to.
When your life begins to **** without them in it...

That empty feeling.

Disappointment strikes the heart
Like lightning strikes the ground.
It's not exactly heartbreak,
But it feels like it sometimes...

I need to focus on something else,
Divert my attention.
If I don't, who knows what will happen?

If anything will help the feeling go away,
If anything will help heal the light scarring on my heart,
It's welcome...

I don't know what to feel,
how to feel.

Too many emotions are barraging me,
and it's overwhelming me.

Something akin to love,
maybe closer to friendship than anything...

Desperation for my wants.

It seems pitiful, and admitting it just
makes it even more gruesome.

But looking past the gruesomeness,
there is truth. Honesty.

A lack of denial...

I have to face it.

I need an antidote to fear,
an antidote to tears.

I need some love and comfort.

Because I just did the scariest thing
I've ever had to do:

Left the nest, flown the coop.
However you want to put it.

Either way,
I'm my own person from now on.

The scent of smoke fills the air,
Explosions screech in the starry sky.

Yellow and blue.
Orange and red.

If only every night could end like this...
