Loveless

When Love Isn't Returned

By Em DPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Even when you break me

I hang on by this thread

I dream of fields and rolling hills

But everything is dead

I wander through this wasteland

Following your tracks

A million warnings calling me

I'm too far to turn back

I walk closely behind you

And pray you'll turn around

But you're afraid of looking back

And owning what you found

I've been lonely since you found me

It's only you I miss

I know I'd make you understand

If you could taste my kiss

So please just hold me baby

I need to know for sure

For every path I follow

Will destroy anything pure

I just want someone who knows me

When I don't know my own self

Someone to put me on a pedestal

Not stagnant on this shelf

Because love is simply agony

When it isn't coming back

So I'll crawl my way on bleeding hands

To find the light I lack

heartbreak
