I've been battered and broken too many times
To see the life mentioned in sweet rhymes
I can't seem to let go of my past
Maybe that's why love doesn't last.

Love doesn't come naturally to me,
And when it does, it doesn't leave
That's my problem, can't you see?
Everyone I love has turned into an enemy.

My old love sits dormant in my heart,
But the new love won't start.
I've ******* myself over, can't love anymore
I ran from one love straight into a door.

I've been battered and broken too many times,
And now I live between the lines.
I can't seem to let go of my past
Because the love I had was meant to last.

My heart still breaks for him
And I spend hours thinking about what I did
I still love him
I wonder if he knows.

My thoughts wander to our plans we had
How could I give it all away?
I would take it back in an instant
I wonder if he knows.

I long to talk to him,
And ask him how he is..
But I think he hates me
I wonder if he knows.

Life was good when I had him,
But now it has fallen apart.
I gave up my life when I gave him up
I wonder if he knows.

I'm sorry if I can't tell you I love you
It's just an effect of what I've been through
I just need to be taught
Loving someone isn't as easy as I thought
Please understand if I want to go slow
It's all new to me so I don't know
I'm not sure how it feels to be loved
Please show me, don't just leave me feeling shunned
My heart is fragile, barely in tact
Please don't break it, it will be the end, that's a fact
Be gentle with me, I'm not very stable
If I'm shown not to trust guys I may no longer be able
Will you hold me while I cry?
And tell me all the reasons not to when I want to die?

— The End —
