A

SELFLESS

LOVE

CAN

SAVE

MY

SOUL,

MY

HEART !!

You love them
With all your heart and soul
Yet, you can't be with them
But you'll never let them go...
And it hurts...
Trust me, I know...
People... Stay strong
Someone better may come along
You're thinking..
"But, they're the one I want"
I've thought this too,
Still do...
"Unrequited Love: Life's way of saying you can do better"
But, even if you never end up together
You can still be there for each other
Sometimes, love can be one sided
Don't let that divide you
If you love someone for selfish reasons
Then you love them not at all
Cause when they don't return the love,
A true love will be there to catch them when they fall
Will care, laugh and respect every wish
Will listen after every date, hit or miss
Will wipe away the tears
And brush off the knees
Stick around through the best and worst years
Be a shoulder, when they need somewhere to lean
They may never love you back
Even when you know they should
Love's not meant to be selfish
It's about doing what's right and good

The time of night, mid
   It was dark
          She was drunk
The ***** was cheap
   She'd fallen into a nightmare
            Of her own dreams
        And she was in way too deep
Death was at her doorstep
    And the promises she made
             She could no longer keep
   She weeped into the bottle
Then drank some more
       Time was of the essence
    Yet, the past came back to haunt her
            Just like before
      Too much to handle
For their sake
          She handles it everyday
     "Resilience" they say
  But she's a fake
          Weak and ashamed
     How did she get this way?
Those ghosts of memories that
          never faded away
  On that night
     She lost complete control
              And the roses
Were dead and rotting
          Just like her *soul

I fell asleep
      with you
    on my mind
I woke up
And you
      were still there



**When's this gonna end?

I want to write a book someday
The pages to be drawn by the things I know
But the story has no way to end
Or any way to go
I thought it would be about me
Until I heard what you had to say
It was about holding hands with God
And it made me want to pray
So maybe now I know where to begin
Even if I don’t know how it will end
You taught me something that day
And it made me want to be your friend
I started thinking about setting suns
And forest fires begging for rain
But then I thought about green grass
Growing where the soil once felt pain
I wanted to take you for a walk
We'd go where the land is flat
I wanted to see how the earth curves
It reminds me how life is like that
Still you didn’t want to see the end
Then you told me the things you said
I didn’t know what anyone could say
But you raised the cup and ate the bread
I hated that I worried about how I looked
Then I realized the book had no pictures
I’ve never seen the real me anyway
I decided to listen to you read the scriptures
I know what God said but this time it was different
I wanted to be you because it was all so real
I don’t know you because we’ve never met
But I love you because you make me feel

I am but a grain of sand
Trying to be the beach
I am but a falling leaf
Trying to be the season
I am but a blade of grass
Trying to be a meadow
I am but a drop of water
Trying to be the ocean
I am but a bird
Trying to be the wind
I am but a cloud
Trying to be the sky
I am but a rock
Trying to be a mountain
I am but a human being
Trying to be worthy of heaven

You built these walls around you
To try to encage yourself
Turning your back on the world
Forever refusing all help
Your fears they surrounded you
Devoured all your soul
Left you broken into pieces
Impossible to be made whole
Your tears they became rivers
Until they drowned your body
And you just let yourself lie
Dying in your own folly
The depression it destroyed you
Left you empty and closed off
Until all memories of us
You simply forgot
Every night I came to your prison
Trying to get you free
Trying to reach you
But you no longer saw me
You closed your mind and body
Let your heart just freeze
Watched me outside the bars
Begging you not to please
I constantly tried and failed
Your empty eyes they watched
It broke my heart to see you
I prayed for it to stop
So I come tonight once again
But not to set you free
I come to say goodbye
But you can’t even hear me
I cry as I watch you
But I have to turn away
Long gone are the days
In your arms I would stay
When I leave you I’m empty
Completely closed myself off
All the pain and memories
Like you I’ve forgot
I create walls around me
To keep everything away
I make my heart go cold
So I no longer feel the old way
I become what you are
What I once did fear
No emotion escapes me
Not even a single tear
I don’t think I'll ever understand
Just what happened to us
How did two so happy and free
become closed off and unloved?
Now these bars surround us
Behind them we die
They keep in our dark secrets
We recoil inside
They lock all our emotions
Then throw away the key
The world outside aches for us
But the bars don’t let us see
We build them to get away
Thinking there we will rest
But these bars slowly **** us
They’re just cages for the depressed
We’ll rot in these cells we’ve made
We’ll tie up ourselves in chains
Becauce the reason we’re behind these bars
Is because inside we’ve gone insane
