• I've lost it haven't I?
    The need that most my age crave.
    The want, the lust, and the never ending hope.
    The happiness that love gave.

    I feel the crush seeping in,
    It's deadly hands do climb.
    To others its a graceful rise,
    but my soul it devours and dines.

    I've fallen before,
    and that was enough.
    I've loved with all my heart
    and that was a bust.

    Should I be pitied?
    Called a fool?
    Should I be afraid?
    Called coward to?

    But I just want to be safe.
    That is all that I know.
    And when love grabs my heart.
    that net dissipates below.

    I do not wish for love,
    Yet my heart still yearns.
    And I'm falling into the trap again
    And my heart, it;ll never learn.
