When your heart is shut
It gathers no love
When you no longer trust
You can no longer hope
When you fear love’s pain
You cannot risk to love

A man can only knock
On your heart’s portal
For so long
Without encouragement
Without hope
His heart wanders

A heart that seeks a companion
Compassion
Needs conviction
If you believe I am untrustworthy
Then why do I stay?
Why do I suffer your
Indifference?

I want more
More than it seems
You are ready to give
Willing to give
Able to give

I tried
To break through
Break down
Your walls
What more could I do?
Wait forever?
How can you be worth it
If you don’t think I am?

The thing is
I’ve been where you are
I know the feeling well
I know how much it hurts
To believe something is real
To hope for something real
If you wanted me
You would risk for me

I guess I’m not worth the risk
