Lonely for Love
At times I feel I’m tired of living
I know I’m not ready for the end
I tread water determined I want to swim
Life has made me so sore I can not even bend
I enjoy life’s little things
They add up to be one great big deal
The wounds of childhood covered by scars
Hoping to realize the day when all can heal
Each time I try to love
I get handed my hat and have to run
The ease to share and give my heart
I never realize until it has already begun
The feeling that I’m not good enough
Questioning why they only want to be friends
Thinking each time it will work
As soon as I hope, it ends
I continue to try to remove the band-aid
It gets tougher each time
One day I know true love I’ll discover
But for now this will be the end of my whine
