Being Close Hurts Too Much
Love is something if you give it away
Isn’t that what people say
It takes another to make you whole
Giving affection opens your soul
But when I look, I do find
My emotive sights are blind
I am not open to love’s sweet touch
Being close hurts too much
The joy of love is being known
Showing how each day you’ve grown
In heaven, there's no want and need
So in love, there's no selfish greed
With open mind and closed eyes
You give yourself, the ‘I’s demise
Together you would share your life
To your heart, you'd hold a knife
When I feel love, I am inclined
To fight against its selfless bind
I am not open to love’s soft touch
Being close hurts too much
So I am one and I am sure
I won’t be caught up in its lure
Love is dead if you keep it close
And this is what I do propose
