To Be Loved
To be loved, when mean the world, more than life itself
If only to know I meant something
If only to feel the warmth of another’s soul
To hear the rhythm of their heart
To feel the lifting of their chest
To be loved, would fight away the darkness building inside of me
For them to be the shelter that hides me
From the pouring tears
To be there when it seems no one hears
My distant pleads, my shallow screams
To be loved, would melt my numb soul, thaw my icy fingers
To warm my dying heart
If only from the start, If only we’d never part
It would be the greatest gift, to know your here
Just for me
Just to see my smile, to be worth while.
To be loved, would be like the sun before the snow, the scent before the rain
The sweet honey, the sweet sugar cane
To be with you, to give my love to one
To stand by your side, Wide eyed and unafraid
To see the light among the dark and erase the wounds that crutch my soul
To be loved, I wish I knew how, I wish I could feel something other than this emptiness
I want to be loved I long to be held, I need to know you’ll never leave
But it’s me that can’t, It’s me that won’t.
You’ll be here, always waiting, anticipating. Watching over me.
But it’s me, it was never you.
I won’t be loved, I won’t be heard.
Without a voice, without a choice.....
What am I to you?
What can I do?
To be loved, would be like asking God to forget
Would be like asking to give my soul away
To disappear.
I can’t......All I can do is melt away.
Day by day.
Slip further into the dark....
To let it devour my heart.
Little by little.
Until there is no more.
Until there isn’t anything to adore.
To disappear.
To be loved, would be everything to me........
